⚠️ bitcastle does not provide investment advice or market predictions.
Please make trading decisions based on your own judgment.
Order Type Overview
Limit Order
A limit order places an order on the order book at a specified price.
The order will only be executed when the market reaches the specified price or better.
This allows you to:
・Buy at a lower price than the current market price
・Sell at a higher price than the current market price
Market Order
A market order executes immediately at the best available market price.
Market orders are matched against existing limit orders in the order book.
⚠️ Market orders incur taker fees.
Stop-Limit Order
A stop-limit order requires two prices:
・Stop Price (trigger price)
・Limit Price
Once the stop price is reached, a limit order is placed at the specified limit price.
Stop Market Order
A stop market order triggers a market order once the stop price is reached.
The order executes immediately at the best available price.
Take Profit Limit Order
Similar to a stop-limit order, but used only to reduce or close existing positions.
When the trigger price is reached, a limit order is placed to secure profits.
Take Profit Market Order
When the trigger price is reached, a market order is executed immediately to lock in profits.
⚠️ These order types are NOT OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other).
If one order is triggered, the other must be canceled manually.
・Take Profit Limit → Use “Stop Limit” option
・Take Profit Market → Use “Stop Market” option
