2️⃣Types of Orders Explained

Currently, Tapbit Derivatives supports 5 types of order:

  1. Limit Order

  2. Market Order

  3. Trigger Order

  4. Post Only Order

  5. TP/SL Order (Strategy Order)

​​Limit Order

What is a Limit Order?

Limit Orders allow you to place an order at a specific or even at a better price. A buy Limit Order will be filled if the price matches or is lower than your limit price and then a sell Limit Order will be filled at or higher than your limit price. Please note that a Limit Order is not guaranteed to execute.

Market Order

What is a Market Order?

Market orders are matched immediately at the best available price at that given time.

Trigger Order

What is a Trigger Order?

A trigger order is an algorithmic trading strategy that allows you to set a predefined trigger price and an order price. Your order will be placed automatically at the preset order price once the market price reaches the trigger price. With this strategy, you can engage in momentum trading or exit a trade to limit risks and lock in gains. The only difference between a trigger order and a stop order is that a trigger order does not freeze your margin or positions.

Post Only Order

What is a Post Only Order?

Post Only Orders are added to the order book when you place the order, but they are not executed immediately.

TP / SL Order (Strategy Order)

What is a Limit TP/SL Order?

You can set a take profit or stop loss price before opening a position. It will follow the "Last Price" and or "Mark Price" that triggers your take profit and stop loss orders.
