A Stop-Limit order will be executed at a specified (or potentially better) price after a pre-set stop price has been reached. Once the stop price is reached, the Stop-Limit order turns into a Limit order to buy or sell at the limit price or better.

Example: The latest traded price of ETH/DAI is 180 DAI while the resistance is around 184 DAI. In case you believe that ETH will go higher and break the resistance level, you can set a Stop-Limit order that that will automatically trigger once the resistance level is reached. Hence, you set a Stop Rate at 185 DAI and the Limit at 187 DAI.

A Stop-Limit order in the ETH/DAI-market to BUY 1 ETH at a rate of 187 DAI when the stop rate at 185 DAI is reached.
  1. In the Markets section on the left, chose the pair you want to trade (e.g. ETH/DAI).
  2. In the order section below, click the green BUY button if you want to execute a BUY order, and the red SELL button to execute a SELL order. Next, you select “STOP-LIMIT” in the Order Type dropdown.
  3. Now set the Stop Rate, the Limit Rate and the amount that you want to trade.
    Use the blue slide-bar to granularly control the amount you are trading.
  4. Click the blue Place Order button below to submit your order and sign the transaction.
