$LTC traded at 59.39 USDT on Binance, but a buy limit above the current asking price can execute immediately. “Limit” does not necessarily mean “wait.”
A limit order sets the worst price you accept; it does not automatically make you a liquidity provider. If matching sell orders are already available within your limit, the trade can take liquidity instead.
This matters when estimating fees: check your account's maker and taker rates rather than assuming every limit order gets maker pricing.
The downside risk: an immediately filled order leaves you exposed if Litecoin falls before you can exit.
