Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Limit Order

A limit order is an order that you place on the order book with a specific limit price. It will not be executed immediately, like a market order. Instead, the limit order will only be executed if the market price reaches your limit price (or better). Therefore, you may use limit orders to buy at a lower price or sell at a higher price than the current market price.

For example, you place a buy limit order for 1 BTC at $60,000, and the current BTC price is 50,000. Your limit order will be filled immediately at $50,000, as it is a better price than the one you set ($60,000).

Similarly, if you place a sell limit order for 1 BTC at $40,000 and the current BTC price is $50,000,. The order will be filled immediately at $50,000 because it is a better price than $40,000.
 

What is Market Order

A market order is an instruction to immediately buy or sell an asset at the best price available in the market. A market order requires liquidity to execute, meaning it is executed based on a previous limit order in the order center (order book).

If the total market price of a transaction is too large, some parts of the transaction that have not been transacted will be canceled. Meanwhile, market orders will settle orders in the market regardless of cost, so you need to bear some risk. Please order carefully and be aware of the risks.
