Limit Order
An order to buy or sell crypto at a specific price you choose.
A Limit Order lets you decide the exact price
at which you want to buy or sell a cryptocurrency.
It doesn’t execute right away — instead, it stays open until
the market reaches your chosen price.
Example
- You want to buy Bitcoin at $58,000, but it’s currently $60,000.
→ You place a buy limit order at $58,000.
The trade only happens if the price drops to your level. - The same works for selling at a higher price with a sell limit order.
Why it matters
- Gives you control over your entry or exit price.
- Helps avoid emotional trading or bad timing.
- Useful for planning trades in advance.
However, limit orders aren’t guaranteed to fill —
if the market never reaches your target, the order stays pending.
💡 Lanzo Tip
Use limit orders when you want precision over speed.
They’re perfect for patient traders waiting for the right price —
not just the fastest execution ⚙️
