What is the Stop-Limit Function and How to use it

What is a stop-limit order?

A limit order with a stop price and a limit price is known as a stop limit order. The limit order will be entered into the order book after the stop price has been reached. The limit order will be carried out when the limit price is reached.

Stop price: A stop-limit order to buy or sell the asset at the limit price or higher will be executed when the asset’s price hits the stop price.

Limit price: the selected price, or sometimes even a higher one, at which the stop limit order is carried out.

Both the limit and stop prices can be set at the same cost. But the sell order’s stop price ought to be somewhat higher than the maximum price. A safe price differential will be created between the order’s triggering and execution times thanks to this price difference. For the buy order, the stop price can be set somewhat below the limit price. Additionally, it will lessen the possibility that your order won’t be fulfilled.

Please be informed that your order will be executed as a limit order whenever the market price hits your limit price. Your order might never fill if you set the take-profit or stop-loss limits too low or too high, respectively, because the market price will never be able to hit the limit price you have specified.

How does a stop-limit order work?

The current price is 2,400 (A). You can set the stop price above the current price, such as 3,000 (B), or below the current price, such as 1,500 (C). Once the price goes up to 3,000 (B) or drops to 1,500 (C), the stop-limit order will be triggered, and the limit order will be automatically placed on the order book.

Note:

The limit price can be set above or below the stop price for both buy and sell orders. For example, a stop price B can be placed along with a lower limit price B1 or a higher limit price B2.

A limit order is invalid before the stop price is triggered, including when the limit price is reached ahead of the stop price.

When the stop price is reached, it only indicates that a limit order is activated and will be submitted to the order book, rather than the limit order being filled immediately. The limit order will be executed according to its own rules.

How do I place a stop-limit order on Crypto.com?

2. Enter the trigger price, the limit price, and the amount of crypto you wish to purchase. Click [Buy BTC] to confirm the details of the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Limit Order

An order placed on the order book at a certain limit price is known as a limit order. It won’t be carried out like a market order right away. Rather, only if the market price hits your limit price (or above) will the limit order be filled. Therefore, you can buy at a lower price or sell at a greater price than the going rate by using a limit order.

Assume, for instance, that the current price of Bitcoin is 50,000 and you set a limit order to purchase 1 BTC at 60,000 USD. Since this is a better price than the one you placed (60,000 USD), your limit order will be executed immediately at 50,000 USD.

What is Market Order

When you make an order for a market order, it is immediately executed at the going rate. It can be used to put orders for both purchases and sales.

A purchase or sell market order can be placed by selecting [Quantity] or [Total]. You can input the amount explicitly, for instance, if you wish to purchase a certain amount of Bitcoin. However, you can use [Total] to place the buy order if you wish to purchase BTC with a specific amount of money, such $10,000 USDT.
