# Limit Orders

A Limit order is an order to buy or sell a given asset at a specified (or better) price. A limit order to buy will only execute at the limit price or lower, and a limit order to sell will only execute at the limit price or higher.

### Place a Limit Order

1. Select the asset you are going to trade in the asset selector drop-down
2. Choose a side, either long or short
3. Pick an order type (limit order)
4. Input your desired Collateral
5. Enter your limit price in the price field&#x20;
6. Input your position size
7. Click on `Place Limit Order`

{% hint style="info" %}
The submission of the limit order is done on-chain, so any margin required to open this order will be earmarked until the order is canceled. The transaction will automatically deposit the 0.01 ETH account requirement, if applicable.
{% endhint %}

### Cancel a Limit Order

If you want to cancel a limit order before it has been executed, then click the `orders tab` and hit `Cancel` on the order that you wish to discard.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
You can open multiple limit orders for the same market. You can manage your stop orders (cancel them) on the Orders tab. No fee is imposed unless the order is executed.
{% endhint %}
