Limit Order Configuration
Learn what each setting in limit order configuration does.
What is a limit order?
A limit order lets you preset a trigger price and execution parameters, then automatically place the order when the market reaches that price. You can use it for buying dips, breakout buys, take-profit, and stop-loss, so you do not need to watch the market constantly or trade emotionally.
Limit order settings explained
Basic information
- Status: Controls whether this limit order is enabled. It will only trigger when enabled.
- Wallet: The wallet used to execute the limit order, selected from your wallet list.
- Order type: Choose buy or sell.
- Token address: The contract address of the target token.
Trigger and size
- Trigger price (USD): The target price that triggers execution.
- Sell order: If price goes above the trigger, it can be used for take-profit; if price goes below the trigger, it can be used for stop-loss.
- Buy order: If price goes below the trigger, it can be used for buying the dip; if price goes above the trigger, it can be used for breakout buying.
- Buy amount: Required only for buy orders. This is the amount to buy after the trigger fires.
- Sell percent: Required only for sell orders. This is the percentage of current holdings to sell after the trigger fires (1% to 100%).
- Expiration time: If the order is not filled within this time window, it will be canceled automatically to avoid stale orders drifting away from your plan.
Trading parameters
- Max slippage: Controls the maximum allowed deviation between expected price and actual fill price. Lower values keep cost closer to your expectation; higher values usually improve fill probability.
- Fast mode and anti-MEV mode:
- Fast mode: Prioritizes the fastest possible on-chain submission speed.
- Anti-MEV mode: Submits through anti-MEV services to reduce sandwich attack risk.
- Priority fee: The fee paid to validator nodes. Higher values make it easier to get earlier inclusion priority.
- Tip fee: The fee paid to transaction relays and anti-MEV services. Higher values usually improve your ranking inside the service.
Limit order trigger strategy reference
- Buy + downward trigger: Commonly used for buying the dip.
- Buy + upward trigger: Commonly used for breakout buying.
- Sell + upward trigger: Commonly used for take-profit.
- Sell + downward trigger: Commonly used for stop-loss.
Practical tips
- Decide the strategy first, then fill parameters: decide whether this is a dip buy, breakout buy, take-profit, or stop-loss before setting price and size.
- Focus buy orders on cost and sell orders on execution: buy orders can use stricter slippage, while sell orders can use looser slippage to improve execution rate.
- Set a reasonable expiration: in volatile markets, shorter expiration helps avoid old plans being triggered under new market conditions.
