​
Basic and Advanced

On iOS, the order form opens in Basic mode: pick Buy/Long or Sell/Short, set the Amount and Leverage, and place a market order. Switch to Advanced for the order types below. On web, the order types are tabs at the top of the order panel: Market, Limit, and Advanced.

Market, limit and trigger orders

​
Market

Fills right away at the best available price. Use it when getting in or out matters more than the exact price.

​
Limit

Fills only at your price or better. Choose how long it stays open:
  • GTC (Good ‘til canceled): rests on the book until it fills or you cancel it.
  • ALO (Add liquidity only): only rests on the book. If it would fill right away, it’s canceled. Useful for paying maker fees.
  • IOC (Immediate or cancel): fills what it can right away and cancels the rest.

Choose an NVDA limit order in Advanced mode and review it before placing it

​
Trigger (stop and take)

A trigger order waits until the price reaches a level you set, then sends an order. On web, open Advanced → Trigger.
  • Stop Market / Stop Limit: triggers when the price moves against you. Use it to cap a loss or enter on a breakout.
  • Take Market / Take Limit: triggers when the price moves in your favor. Use it to lock in a gain.
A market version fills at the best price once triggered. A limit version places a limit order at your price. To attach an exit to a new position instead, use take profit and stop loss.

​
TWAP

Splits a large order into small pieces over time to reduce price impact. See TWAP.

​
Reduce only

Reduce Only makes sure an order can only shrink or close a position, never open a new one or flip your side.

​
Margin mode

  • Cross: all your cross positions share your available balance as margin.
  • Isolated: each position has its own margin, so a loss can’t draw on the rest of your balance.
See Leverage for how margin works.

​
Order minimums and limits

  • Max multiplier: set per market and shown on the ticket. Crypto perps go up to 40x.
  • Isolated-only markets: some markets only allow isolated margin.
  • TWAP: 5 minutes to 24 hours, one suborder every 30 seconds, each at least $10. See TWAP.
  • TP/SL: take profit must be on the profitable side of the current price, stop loss on the losing side. See Take profit and stop loss.
  • Limit price guard: limit orders priced below 5% of the mark price are rejected.
  • Max order size: no fixed maximum beyond your available margin and the market’s limits.
