OrangeX provides 4 order types: Limit Order, Market Order, Conditional Order and Trailing Order.
Limit Order: Limit orders can be executed immediately when the order price is set at a worse price point relative to the best bid/ask price. On the other hand, if the order price is at a better price point relative to the best bid/ask price, the limit order will enter the order book, pending execution.
Market Order: The order will be immediately filled at the best available price from the order book. Traders are not able to set the order price.
Conditional Order: Conditional order is a set of order types that allow traders to set a trigger price on top of a market order (known as conditional market) or limit order (known as conditional limit) before submitting the order.
Trailing Order: A trailing order adjusts the price at a fixed number of points below or above the market price. Trailing orders may have increased risks due to their reliance on trigger pricing.
