Limit

A limit order is one of the most basic order types. It allows the trader to specify a price and amount they would like to buy or

 sell.

 

Example: If the current market price is 250 and I want to buy lower than that at 249, then I would place a buy limit order at 249. If the market reaches 249 and a seller’s ask matches with my bid, my limit order will be executed at 249.


A limit order does not guarantee that the trade will be executed, because the price may never be at the limit price. If the limit order is attained for a short duration, it may not be executed when there are other orders in the queue that utilize all crypto available at the target price. 


Partial fills may occur when only a part of the crypto in the crypto order is executed, leaving an open order. 


 

A buy limit should be placed at a price below the current market buy price.  A buy limit placed below the current buy price will be charged the Maker Fee if the order is filled.  A buy Limit placed above the current buy price will be filled immediately as a market order and be charged the Taker Fee.
