What are maker and taker?

Maker: When you place an order with a set price and quantity that goes into the order book and waits to be filled, you are a maker. Maker orders add liquidity to the market.

Taker: When you place an order that matches and executes immediately against an existing order in the book, you are a taker. Taker orders remove liquidity from the market.
