What is a limit order?

Limited order (Limit) is the order we often use to buy or sell a cryptocurrency on an exchange at the desired price.

Disadvantages

• It is difficult to buy or sell when the market is fluctuating
• Unable to manage risks when entering orders

The current price of BTC is 10380 USDT, you want to buy for 10000 USDT just place an order and wait for the order to be successfully bought BTC.

What is a limit order?

Stop-limit is an order to buy or sell a cryptocurrency when it reaches a certain price range, the price in this area is called a stop-price or stop-price.

It is essentially the same as Stop loss.

Why use stop orders limit?

• Avoid cases of excessive price reduction
• Easy to manage capital
• Manage the risk when entering the order

Disadvantages

• It is easy to confuse stop-price and limit-price.

The current BTC price is 10380 USDT and you take the risk is 380 USDT for 1 BTC. Then you only need to place a stop-price order of 10010 USDT and a limit price of 10000 USDT

*Note: Because the cryptocurrency market fluctuates quite high, when placing a stop order, you must set a stop-price to be slightly different from the limit price (Limit-price) to avoid the case of not matching the order.

What is an OCO order?

The OCO order (One-Cancels-the-Other) is essentially a combination of limit order and limit stop order. When one of the two commands is activated, the remaining one will be canceled.

• OCO orders overcome the disadvantages of limit orders (limit) and orders (stop-limit).
• Easy command management.
• Limit the risk of entry.

• In case of using buy order: BTC price is currently 9800 USDT. You want to buy BTC at 9500 USDT and at the same time you will buy if BTC exceeds the resistance of 10000 USDT (you believe that BTC will go higher if it exceeds the resistance).
• In case of using a sell order: BTC current price 10000 USDT you want to sell BTC for 10500 USDT and at the same time you will sell BTC will fall if the support level of 9900 USDT falls (you believe BTC will fall sharply if the support level is broken support).
