Trade: Buy or Sell
To place an order on Spot Trading:
On the left of the chart, select a pair that matches the fiat or cryptocurrency you’ve deposited.
2. Choose the direction of your order (Buy or Sell ).
If you select BTC/USD and click Buy, for instance, you’ll be able to buy BTC for your USD. By choosing Sell with the same currency pair, you’ll be able to sell BTC and receive USD.
3. Choose the type of order (Market, Limit, or Stop Limit).
A market order allows you to buy or sell crypto at the current market rate. Such orders are filled instantly.
When placing a limit order, you specify the price at which you wish to buy or sell your crypto. Limit orders are filled when the price reaches the specified level or better.
A stop limit order allows you to set an order, which will transform into a limit. When the price surpasses the predefined Stop Price point, the stop limit order becomes a limit order.
How to place a Market Buy order (BTC/USD pair)
Enter the amount of fiat currency you wish to spend in the Total field. Alternatively, switch to Amount and enter the desired number of BTC to buy.
You’ll see the estimated amount of BTC you’ll receive and fees calculated automatically.
Then hit Place Buy Order, review the order details, and click Confirm.

How to place a Limit Buy order (BTC/USD pair)
Choose the Limit type of order in the list.
Then enter the BTC amount you wish to buy.
Next, specify the price in USD at which you want your order completed (Limit Price).
Click Place Buy Order, verify the order details, and hit the Confirm button.
When the market price reaches the specified level, your limit order will be filled and crypto will be added to your trading balance.
More you can find in our detailed guide.
How to place a Stop Limit Buy Order (BTC/USD pair)
Choose a Stop Limit order type from the list.
Enter the Stop Price (a trigger at which the Limit order should be open).
Specify the Limit Price (a price at which a trade transaction should be executed).
Next, enter the amount of BTC you want to buy.
A Stop Limit buy order can be placed if the set Stop Price is higher than or equal to the price of the last trade. A user can, for example, use a buy limit order by setting the stop price at a defined resistance, and the limit price slightly higher.
Finally, click Place Buy Order, review the details, and click Confirm.
The stop price will act as the main trigger to place a limit order at the specified limit price. The order can be executed only when the market rate reaches the stop price and, accordingly, the limit price.
