Section 7 - Type of Order:
BTCEX supports 3 different types of orders: Limit/Market Price, Trailing, and Take Profit/Stop Loss order.
Open/Close Order: A basic and simple type of order which supports Limit Price and Market Price to Buy or Sell.
Trailing Order: A trailing order allows traders to place a pre-set order at a specific Trailing Gap away from the market price when the market swings. It helps traders to limit the loss and protect gains when a trade does not move in the direction that traders consider unfavorable.
TP/SL Order: Take-Profit/Stop-Loss orders. The system will decide if an order is a stop-loss order or a take-profit order based on the price level of trigger price against the last price or mark price when the order is placed.
- TP/SL Limit Order: The easiest way to understand a TP/SL limit order is to break it down into TP/SL price, and limit price. The TP/SL price is simply the price that triggers the limit order, and the limit price is the price of the limit order that is triggered. This means that once your TP/SL price has been reached, your limit order will be immediately placed on the order book.
- TP/SL Market Order: Similar to the TP/SL limit order, a TP/SL market order uses a TP/SL price as a trigger. However, when the TP/SL price is reached, it triggers a market order instead.
