Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Market Order?

A Market Order is an order type that is executed at the current market price. When you place a market order, you are essentially requesting to buy or sell a security or asset at the best available price in the market. The order is filled immediately at the prevailing market price, ensuring quick execution.

Description

If the market price is $100, a buy or sell order is filled at around $100. The amount and price that your order is filled at depend on the actual transaction.

What is a Limit Order?

A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specified limit price, and it is not executed immediately like a market order. Instead, the limit order is activated only if the market price reaches or exceeds the designated limit price favorably. This allows traders to target specific buying or selling prices different from the current market rate.

Limit Order illustration

When the Current Price (A) drops to the order’s Limit Price (C) or below the order will execute automatically. The order will be filled immediately if the buying price is above or equal to the current price. Therefore, the buying price of limit orders must be below the current price.

Buy Limit Order

Sell Limit Order

What is a Trigger Order?

A trigger order, alternatively termed a conditional or stop order, is a specific order type enacted only when predefined conditions or a designated trigger price are satisfied. This order allows you to establish a trigger price, and upon its attainment, the order becomes active and is dispatched to the market for execution. Subsequently, the order is transformed into either a market or limit order, carrying out the trade in accordance with the specified instructions.

For instance, you might configure a trigger order to sell a cryptocurrency like BTC if its price descends to a particular threshold. Once the BTC price hits or drops below the trigger price, the order is triggered, transforming into an active market or limit order to sell the BTC at the most favorable available price. Trigger orders serve the purpose of automating trade executions and mitigating risk by defining predetermined conditions for entering or exiting a position.
Description

In a scenario where the market price is $100, a trigger order set with a trigger price of $110 is activated when the market price ascends to $110, subsequently becoming a corresponding market or limit order.

What is Advanced Limit Order

For limit order, there are 3 execution policies: "Maker-only (Post only)", "Fill all or cancel all (Fill or Kill)", "Fill immediately and cancel the remaining (Immediate or Cancel)"; When an execution policy is not selected, by default, a limit order will be "always valid”.

Maker-only (Post only) order will not be filled in the market immediately. If such an order is immediately filled by an existing order, such order will be cancelled to ensure that the user will always be a Maker.

An IOC order, if fails to be filled immediately in the market, the unfilled part will be cancelled immediately.

A FOK order, if fails to be fully filled, will be fully cancelled immediately.

What is Trailing Order

Trailing order refers to the strategy of sending a pre-set order into the market in the event of a large market correction. When the contract market price meets the trigger conditions and the correction ratio set by the user, such strategy will be triggered to place a limit order at the price set by the user (Optimal N price, Formula price). The main scenarios are to buy when the price hits a support level and bounces back or to sell when the price hits a resistance level and falls.

Trigger price: one of the conditions determining the trigger of the strategy. If to buy, the precondition must be: the trigger price the latest price.

Correction ratio: one of the conditions determining the trigger of the strategy. The correction ratio must be larger than 0% and no higher than 5%. The precision is to 1 decimal place of a percentage, e.g. 1.1%.

Order size: the size of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Order type (Optimal N prices, Formula price): the quotation type of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Order direction: the buy or sell direction of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Formula price: the price of a limit order placed in the market by multiplying the lowest price in the market with (1 + correction ratio) or the highest price in the market with (1 - correction ratio) after the trailing order is successfully triggered.

Lowest (highest) price: The lowest (highest) price in the market after the strategy is set for the user until the strategy is triggered.

Triggering conditions:

Buy orders must meet the conditions: the triggering price ≥ the minimum price, and the minimum price * (1 + correction ratio) ≤ the latest market price

Sell orders must meet the conditions: the validation price ≤ the highest price, and the highest price * (1- correction ratio)≥ the latest market price
