What Is a Limit Order?

A Limit Order buys or sells crypto only at your specified price or better, guaranteeing the execution price but not guaranteeing the order will execute at all.


Good to know:

  • A buy Limit Order executes at your price or lower; a sell Limit Order executes at your price or higher.
  • If the market never reaches your limit, the order doesn't execute.
  • Limit Orders are held for up to 90 days before expiring unexecuted.
