How to Place a Limit Order?
Example: Buying CET/USDT in the spot market
1. The Latest Price for CET/USDT is 0.05639, and the current Best Ask price is 0.056395.
2. Select [Limit].
3. Set the [Price] and [Amount].
4. Confirm the [Value].
5. Click [Buy CET].
Once placed, the order will be sent to the market as a Maker order at the set price (0.056385 in this example). When the market price reaches the set price, the order will be filled gradually. The same applies to sell limit orders.
Note:
When you have unfilled open orders, the corresponding assets in your spot account will be frozen, making your available balance less than your total asset balance. Please check your [Pending Order] for any unfilled orders related to the trading pair. If there is any, you can cancel these orders to unfreeze those assets.
How to Place a Market Order
Example: Buying CET/USDT in the spot market
1. Check the market depth for bid orders.
2. Select the [Market].
3. Set the [Value] / [Amount].
4. Click [Buy CET].
Once the order is successfully placed, it will be sent to the market and executed at the best available market price until fully filled.
Note: If the trading volume is large, please pay attention to the bid orders to avoid significant price slippage caused by insufficient market depth.
How to Place a Stop Order
Example: Placing a Stop buy order in the CET/USDT spot market:
1. Select [Stop Order].
2. Enter the [Stop Price] (set to 0.056 USDT here).
3. Enter the [Price] (set to Limit Price,0.055 USDT here). For Market orders, the Order Price will be the Best Market Price.
4. Enter the [Amount] / [Volume].
5. Click [Buy CET].
The order will not be sent to the market immediately after submission. When the latest price reaches the Stop price of 0.056 USDT:
- Limit order: The system will submit a limit order at the set price (i.e., buy CET at 0.055 USDT) to the market. It will be filled gradually when the market price reaches this set price.
- Market order: The system will execute the order immediately at the Best Market Price.
Notes:
(1) Stop orders will not freeze assets in your account. Please ensure your account balance is sufficient after placing the order. If the available balance is insufficient when triggered, the order will fail to submit.
(2) A stop order may not always be submitted successfully. Factors such as price limits, insufficient account balance, network anomalies, or system upgrades may cause the order to fail.
For insufficient account balance:
- Buy stop order: When the latest price reaches the Stop price, if your balance is insufficient to buy the specified amount, the order will fail to submit.
- Sell stop order: When the latest price reaches the Stop price, if your balance is below the sell order amount, the order will fail to submit.
(3) Even after a stop order is successfully submitted, it may not be executed. Whether the order executes depends on actual market conditions.
How to Place a Scaled Order
Take setting up a scaled buy order in the CET/USDT spot market as an example:
1. Select [Scaled Order].
2. Enter the [Lowest Price] and [Highest Price] (assumed here to be 0.04 USDT – 0.06 USDT).
3. Enter the [Number of Orders] (assumed here to be split into 10 orders).
4. Enter the [Quantity] (assumed here to be buying 10,000 CET).
5. Choose the [Distribution Mode] and review the preview of the split orders.
6. Click [Buy CET].
After the order is successfully placed, the split orders will be immediately submitted to the market. When the market price reaches the order price or a better price, the system will automatically match and execute the trades.
- After a scaled order is created, the system will freeze the corresponding available assets according to the order type. Please ensure that your account balance is sufficient to avoid order placement failure.
- During periods of high market volatility, some scaled orders may not be filled or may be canceled by the system.
