When you suddenly see the price of a coin rising, should you just buy at market?
1️⃣ Think it through first: Are you more worried about paying too much, or missing out? If you want to stick to a price you’re comfortable with, choose a limit order. If you care more about getting the trade executed quickly, consider a market order. Don’t skip this step just because the price is rising.
2️⃣ With a limit order, enter the maximum price you’re willing to pay when buying, or the minimum price you’re willing to accept when selling. It limits the execution price, but doesn’t guarantee execution—a submitted order doesn’t mean you’ve bought anything.
3️⃣ With a market order, check the estimated execution outcome before submitting. Don’t treat the latest price shown on your screen as a guaranteed price. The order is matched against available quotes at that moment. When the market moves quickly, the actual execution price may differ from what you see.
4️⃣ After placing an order, check its status and the quantity filled in your orders. If it hasn’t been filled or has only been partially filled, first check the original order, then decide whether to wait, cancel it, or place a new one. This helps avoid placing duplicate orders and buying more than you intended. Refer to the official page for the specific rules.
If your limit buy order isn’t filled for a while, would you keep waiting or consider switching to a market order?
