Limit Order allows you to place an order at a specific or a better price. A buy Limit Order will be filled if the price matches or is lower than your limit price, and a sell Limit Order will be filled at or higher than your limit price. Please note that a Limit Order is not guaranteed to execute.

Stop Limit Order

What is a Stop Limit order?
A Stop Limit order is a conditional order over a set timeframe, executed at a specified price after a given stop price has been reached. Once the stop price is reached, it will buy or sell at the limit price or at a better price than the limit price you set.

Stop Market Order

What is a Stop Market Order?
Similar to a Stop Limit Order, a Stop Market Order uses a stop price to trigger the trade. However, when the stop price is reached, it triggers a market order instead.

Trailing Stop Order

What is a Trailing Stop Order?
A Trailing Stop Order allows traders to place a pre-set order at a specific percentage away from the market price when the market swings. It locks in profit by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the direction favorable to traders. It does not move back in the other direction. When the price moves in the opposite direction by a specified percentage, the Trailing Stop Order will be executed at market price.

Post Only Order

What is a Post Only Order?
Post Only Orders are added to the order book when you place the order, but they are not executed immediately.

Limit TP/SL Order (Strategy Order)

What is a Limit TP/SL Order?
You can set a take profit or stop loss price before opening a position. It will follow the "Last Price" or "Mark Price" to trigger your take profit and stop loss orders.
