A Limit Order allows you to buy or sell a cryptocurrency at a specific price you set, rather than the current market price. The order will only execute once the market reaches your chosen price. Limit Orders remain open until they are filled or manually cancelled if no longer needed.
How to create a Limit Order
Navigate to the Trading screen and toggle to Pro mode.
Select the trading pair (market) if needed. By default, the trading pair is set to USD.
Choose the currency you wish to trade.
Go to the Trading subsection and change the Order Type to Limit (buy or sell).
Enter the Amount (coin quantity). You can also tap the "USD" button to enter the dollar amount you want to spend or receive - the system will automatically convert it for you.
Enter the Limit Price.
Review and submit your order.
How do limit orders work
- Buy Limit: Set below the current market price.
- Sell Limit: Set above the current market price.
- Execution isn’t guaranteed — the market may never reach your limit price.
- Partial fills can occur; any unfilled portion stays open until it’s filled or you cancel it.
- Fees: Orders that rest on the book (add liquidity) are typically maker; Orders that execute immediately (remove liquidity) are taker.
Example: If the market price is 250, and you want to buy at a lower price, place the limit at 249. When the market trades down to 249 and there's matching liquidity, your order will fill at 249.
Tips
Always review your order before placing it. Once a trade is executed, it cannot be reversed.
A buy limit placed above the current price or a sell limit placed below the current price will execute immediately, similar to a Market Order, and will incur taker fees.
Verify your available balance before placing an order. Your available balance equals your Wallet balance minus any active deposit holds and funds locked in other open orders.
Once placed, you can cancel or edit open Limit Orders if needed.
