A stop-limit order is a preset order allowing users to set the trigger price, buy/sell price, and buy/sell amount in advance. When the latest transaction price reaches the trigger price, the system will automatically place the order at the specified limit price.

Definition


  • Trigger Price: When the latest transaction price reaches the trigger price, the preset order will be executed.
  • Buy/Sell Price: The price entered by the user at which they want to buy or sell the crypto.
  • Buy/Sell Amount: The amount of cryptocurrency the user wants to buy or sell.
  • Total: The user inputs the total price to spend on buying or selling cryptocurrency.

Example:

The current market price of BTC is below 45,000 USDT. A user considers the price of 43,000 USDT to be an important resistance level. If the market price breaks through 45,000 USDT, there will be a bullish trend. Therefore, the user can set the stop-loss price at 43,000 USDT and the limit price at 45,200 USDT. The user does not have to monitor the market 24 hours a day.

Note: If the price fluctuates significantly, the stop-limit buy order may not be filled.

How to place stop-limit order?


Order placement: Select [Stop-limit], set the trigger price, buy price, and buy amount. Then, click [Buy BTC].


Order review: After placing the order, you can check the order record under "Open Orders."


Historical Records: After the stop-limit order is filled or canceled, you can go to [Orders] - [Spot Orders] - [Order History] to check the historical records.
