Limit order

With a limit order, you can place an order in the market at a specific price at which you want to buy or sell a chosen cryptocurrency. Note that the order may not necessarily be executed exactly at the price you set. The trade occurs when the market reaches or crosses the limit you specified.

A limit buy order is executed when the selected cryptocurrency's price reaches or falls below the limit price you set.

A limit sell order is executed when the selected cryptocurrency's price reaches or exceeds the limit price you set.

To place a limit order:

  1. Go to the Trading page by clicking "Trading" at the top of the page and select "Buy" or "Sell."
  2. Choose your desired cryptocurrency and select "Limit Order" from the Type field.
  3. Define the limit price, expiration date, and the amount you want to use for the order (in euros or the selected cryptocurrency).
  4. Click "Buy" or "Sell."
