# Limit Orders

Astrum provides a powerful, flexible limit order system that allows you to set automated buys and sells based on **Market Cap triggers** or **percentage-based price movement**.

The Limit Orders interface is designed as a draggable popup window, giving you full freedom to position it anywhere on your screen for convenient trading.

***

### **How to Open the Limit Order Panel**

To access limit orders:

1. Open the **Limits** tab.
2. A movable popup window will appear.
3. Drag it anywhere on your screen for comfortable placement.

***

## **Placing a Limit Buy Order**

To place a limit buy order:

1. **Choose the SOL amount** you want to invest.
2. Set the **Market Cap** at which you want the purchase to execute\
   – or use the **percentage slider** to choose how far below the current price you want to buy.
3. Configure **slippage** (1%–100%).
4. Configure **priority fee** for the limit order execution.
5. Click **Place Order**.

Once created:

* the order appears in the **Trades** tab
* you can delete it anytime before it triggers
* when executed, it will disappear from the pending orders list
* the completed transaction will then appear in the **Trades history table** below

***

## **Placing a Limit Sell Order**

To place a limit sell order:

1. Select **what percentage** of your token bag you want to sell.
2. Set the **Market Cap trigger** for the sale.
3. Set **slippage** and **priority fee**.
4. Click **Place Order**.

Just like buy orders:

* the order is visible in the **Trades** tab
* you can remove it at any moment
* after execution, it disappears from active orders and the result will appear in your trade history

***

## **Managing Your Limit Orders**

All active limit orders appear inside:

👉 **Trades → Active Orders**

From there, you can:

* delete pending orders
* monitor trigger conditions
* see execution timestamps
* view completed orders in the history table

Astrum automatically handles all logic in the background - once your limit trigger is reached, the order is executed with your chosen settings

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://astrum-trade.gitbook.io/astrum-trade-docs/solana-trading/limit-orders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
