More on Execution Strategy

Choose from multiple order types designed to align with your trading strategy, urgency and market conditions. 

• Market order: executes immediately at the best price available 

• Limit order: executes at or better than the specified limit price during the defined time in force configuration

• Time weighted average price: a schedule-based execution strategy that divides a large order into smaller, evenly sized trades executed over a defined time period, passively following the schedule while adapting to market conditions to ensure full completion

• Steady pace: executes by taking liquidity based on specified clip size and interval. Minimizes market impact, tracking market average

• Stop Order Type: automatically executes a trade when the market hits a trigger price you set

• Trade in Your Preferred Unit: ability to place orders either in the asset or its dollar value (e.g., buy 1 BTC directly or specify $60,000 USD worth of BTC)

• Fill or Kill: orders can either fill completely at a quoted price or are cancelled entirely, eliminating partial fills.

The minimum order size is $6 USD*. There are currently no limits on number of orders or volume.
