Limit Orders

Set the price, walk away. Return To BTC watches the market 24/7 and fires your order the moment your target hits.

What Is a Limit Order?

A limit order executes only when a token reaches a price you choose. Unlike a market order, it doesn't trade immediately — it waits.

• Buy limit — buy when price drops to or below your target.
• Sell limit — sell when price rises to or above your target.

Useful for entering on dips, taking profit on the way up, or laddering in and out of a position.

Creating a Limit Order

From Trade → Limit Order:

1. Pick the token (paste a contract or search).
2. Choose Buy or Sell.
3. Enter the target price (in BTC or USD).
4. Enter the amount (input side for buys, token amount for sells).
5. Optionally set an expiry (e.g. 24h, 7d, never).
6. Confirm.

You'll get a confirmation card showing the order ID, target, amount, and expiry.

Multiple Targets (Laddering)

You can stack as many limit orders on the same token as you want. Common patterns:

• Buy ladder: 0.5x amount at -10%, 0.3x at -20%, 0.2x at -30%
• Sell ladder: 0.3x at +50%, 0.3x at +100%, 0.4x at +200%

This averages your entry / exit and removes the temptation to time the top.

How Execution Works

Return To BTC polls Spark prices every few seconds. When your price is hit:

1. The bot re-validates your wallet balance.
2. It fetches a live execution quote (respecting your slippage settings).
3. It signs and broadcasts the swap on Spark.
4. You get a Telegram receipt with the fill price.

If the price is hit but liquidity isn't enough to fill cleanly within slippage, the order stays active and will retry.

Managing Orders

Orders → Active shows every live order with:

• Token + side + target price
• Amount
• Distance to fill (e.g. "-3.2% away")
• Expiry countdown
• Cancel button

Tap Cancel to remove an order at any time. No fee for cancellation.

Orders → History shows filled and expired orders with full receipts.

Fees

Limit orders pay the same fees as market trades — see Trading → Fees. The 1% integrator fee is charged only on execution, not on placement.

Tips

• Always set a sane expiry. Orders set to "never" can fill years later at prices you no longer want.
• Don't ladder beyond your wallet balance — the latest orders will silently fail if your earlier fills used your liquidity.
• Use Price Alerts alongside limit orders to know why a fill happened (e.g. news, dump, etc.).
