2. Enter Amount of asset you are willing to buy or sell

3. Choose Buy or Sell

4. Please make sure that the form is filled correctly then press Send Order to confirm the order.

Option 2: Limit Order

Limit orders are used to specify a maximum or minimum price the trader is willing to buy or sell at. Traders use this order type to improve their entry/exit price, however they do not guarantee execution as there is a chance the market may not reach the limit order level.

1. Order Type: Select Limit from the drop-down menu

2. Enter Amount of asset you are willing to trade as well as the Limit price

3. Enter The Price you want to buy or sell that token.
   Limit price must always be lower than highest Ask for Buy orders and higher than lowest Bid for Sell orders. Please note that the system will warn you if the order is too high or too low.

5. Order Duration: You have two options
   
   GTC: good till cancelled
   Day order: system will show you how many hours remain until the order is cancelled if not executed before

7. Click Confirm to finish your Order

Option 3: Stop order

A Stop order is an order to buy or sell an asset once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price.

When the stop price is reached, a stop order becomes a market order. Traders use this type of order for two main strategies: As a risk-management tool to limit losses on existing positions, and as an automatic tool to enter the market at a desired entry point without manually waiting for the market to place the order.

A buy stop order is always placed above the market, and a sell stop order is placed below the market.

1. Order Type: Select Stop from the drop-down menu

2. Enter Amount of asset you are willing to trade.

3. Enter a Stop Price

4. Choose Buy or Sell

5. Order Duration: You have two options
   GTC: good till cancelled

6. Please make sure that the form is filled correctly then press Send Order to confirm the order.

7. Click Confirm to finish your Order

Option 4: One-Cancels-Other (OCO) order

An OCO order or One-Cancels-Other, is a conditional order. An OCO order allows you to combine 2 different orders under special conditions - once one of the orders is triggered and executed, the second order is automatically cancelled
An OCO order allows you to combine different as well as identical order types: Stop+Limit, Stop+Stop, Limit+ Limit.



The screenshot above shows an example of an OCO combination of 2 different orders: Buy Stop order + Sell Limit order. If either the Stop or Limit price is reached and an order is executed, the 2nd order automatically gets canceled.

Place Stop Loss and Take Profit Function

You can set up additional Protection orders for any new Market, Limit or Stop order by clicking on the box Place Stop Loss/Take Profit in the order form. It will expand the form and allow you to set up Stop Loss price and Take Profit price.

You can also set Protection orders for any existing position by double-clicking the position where you want to add Protection order. This action will bring up the order modification pop up.

You’ll receive a warning if there is anything in the order that could prevent you from setting a Stop Loss. You won’t be able to complete the order until it’s fixed.

Please make sure that the form is filled correctly.


Note:

1. The Projected Loss field for Stop Losses reflects the decrease in Open P/L should the price of an asset move from the Current Price to the selected Stop Loss Price.

2. The Projected Loss field does NOT reflect the overall unrealized P/L of a trade as doing so would result in calculation errors and incorrect Projected loss values being reflected.

How to modify or cancel Orders
