DX-076: Write /concepts/order-types #588

Description

@IbrahimIjai

Context

The interface offers market, limit, and trigger orders. Each carries a different
execution guarantee, and the difference between "this will fill" and "this may
fill" is exactly what a reader needs to understand before relying on a stop.

Scope

  • Each order type: what it does, when it executes, and what is not guaranteed.
  • Trigger orders specifically: take-profit and stop-loss, how trigger price
    relates to execution price, and the conditions under which a stop does not
    protect a position.
  • Order lifecycle: created, pending, executed, cancelled, expired — matching the
    states the interface and indexer actually use.
  • Slippage and how the slippage setting interacts with each type.
  • How each maps to contract calls, linking to the reference pages.

Acceptance criteria

  • Order states match the indexer and apps/web implementations, with file
    paths named.
  • The "what is not guaranteed" content is explicit for every type.
  • The trigger-order section describes the real gap risk without hedging.
  • Cross-linked to the trading guide and liquidation page.

Out of scope

  • The trade-panel walkthrough (DX-077 is oracles; the guide is DX-077+).
