How to Use Limit Orders on Alkizen

Set your target price and let Alkizen execute the trade automatically — a guide to using limit orders for better entries.

What Are Limit Orders?

A limit order lets you specify the exact price at which you want to buy or sell a token. Instead of executing at the current market price, your order waits until the market reaches your target.

Limit Orders vs Market Orders

  • Market order (Swap): Executes immediately at current price
  • Limit order: Waits for your specified price before executing

When to Use Limit Orders

  • Buying dips: Set a buy order 10-20% below current price for accumulation
  • Taking profits: Set a sell order at your target price
  • Range trading: Set buy and sell limits at support and resistance levels
  • Sleeping: Let limit orders work while you rest — no need to watch charts
  • Setting Up on Alkizen

    Step 1: Select the Limit Tab

    Navigate to the trading interface and choose the Limit tab.

    Step 2: Configure Your Order

    • Token pair: Select which tokens you want to trade
    • Target price: Set the price at which you want the trade to execute
    • Amount: How much you want to buy or sell
    • Expiry: How long the order stays active (1 day, 1 week, 1 month)

    Step 3: Place the Order

    Review your order details and confirm. Alkizen monitors prices and executes automatically when your target is hit.

    Tips for Better Limit Orders

    • Use technical analysis to identify support and resistance levels
    • Do not set limits too far from market — they might never fill
    • Consider splitting large orders into multiple limit orders at different prices
    • Check your open orders regularly and cancel stale ones
