# Limit A Limit Order is an instruction to buy or sell at a specific price or better. Unlike conditional orders such as stop orders, trailing orders, or TP/SL combos — which are monitored on goodcryptoX servers until their trigger conditions are met — a Limit Order is sent immediately to the exchange and placed directly on the exchange’s orderbook. Because it lives on the exchange rather than on our servers, a Limit Order’s execution, fill behavior, or rejection is determined entirely by the exchange. Once submitted, it behaves independently of goodcryptoX: even if our servers experience downtime, your limit order will remain on the book and continue to execute normally according to exchange’s matching engine. Limit orders can be used to enter or exit positions directly, and they also serve as the execution leg in Stop Limit and Trailing Stop Limit orders triggered by goodcryptoX. Grid and DCA bots rely on native limit orders as well. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
