DEX Limit Orders

5 min read

What it is

Place a limit order on any DEX token pair — "Buy ETH when it hits $3,200" or "Sell SOL when it crosses $250". Our backend monitors price and executes when the target is hit. Most DEXes don't offer this natively.

How to think about it

Limit orders are accessed from the Limit Orders tab on the Swap page. They sit pending until the target price is hit or the expiry time elapses.

Step-by-step

  1. Select tokens and amount

    Pick the From and To tokens just like a regular swap. Enter the amount you want to swap.

  2. Set target price

    Enter the USD target price for the To token. This is the price at which the order will execute.

  3. Choose direction

    Buy When Below: order fires when price drops below target (good for buy-the-dip). Sell When Above: order fires when price rises above target (good for take-profit).

  4. Pick expiry

    Choose how long the order stays active: 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Expired orders are cancelled automatically.

  5. Monitor and cancel

    Active orders are listed below the form. Click Cancel any time before execution to remove the order.

Tips & pitfalls

  • Use limit orders for memecoin take-profit ladders: 25% at 2x, 50% at 5x, 25% at 10x.
  • Place limit BUY orders below current price to catch dips while you sleep.
  • When the target is hit, the order executes through the same MEV-protected smart router as a regular swap.
  • Limit orders don't guarantee fills — if the price spikes past your target without trading enough volume there, you may miss the entry.
