# Limit Orders

**Limit Orders** allow you to automatically place a buy or sell order when a token reaches your target price — giving you more control over your entries and exits.

## Set a Limit Order

1. **Enter a Token Contract Address (CA)**\
   Go to the Token Detail Page by entering the token's contract address.
2. **Switch to Limit Mode**\
   By default, the order type is **Swap** (market order).\
   Click the **“Limit”** button to switch to limit order mode.

Once switched, you can specify your desired price and amount. The bot will monitor the price and automatically execute the order when your conditions are met.

### Trigger Conditions for Limit Orders

When setting up a limit order, you can choose to trigger the order based on either:

* **Price** (e.g. in USD or SOL)
* **Market Cap (MC)**

The input supports multiple formats for flexibility:

**✅ Supported Input Formats:**

1. **Direct numeric input**\
   Example: `100000` = $100,000
2. **Shorthand using K/M/B**
   * `20K` = 20,000
   * `30M` = 30,000,000
   * `1.5B` = 1,500,000,000
3. **Percentage-based input**
   * `30%` = triggers when the price or market cap **increases by 30%** from the current value
   * `-20%` = triggers when it **drops by 20%**

This allows you to set flexible, condition-based orders that adapt to real-time market movements.

### About Auto TP/SL

**Auto TP/SL** is a special type of limit order. Unlike manually created one-time limit orders, Auto TP/SL settings are automatically applied **every time you buy a token** — saving you time and ensuring consistent risk management.
