What Are Limit Orders?
A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specified price or better. Unlike market orders which execute immediately at the current market price, limit orders allow you to:
- Set a specific price you're willing to pay
- Avoid price slippage during volatile market conditions
- Automatically buy when prices drop to your target level
- Lower your average purchase price compared to market orders
Note: Limit orders are only executed if the market reaches your specified price. They may remain unfilled if the price doesn't reach your target.

Advanced: Combined Limit Order & DCA Strategy
While both limit orders and dollar-cost averaging have their advantages, many experienced Bitcoin investors use a combined approach to maximize their buying strategy:
Hybrid Strategy Framework
Invest a fixed percentage of your monthly budget (e.g., 50-70%) using regular DCA purchases regardless of market conditions. This ensures you're consistently accumulating Bitcoin over time.
Allocate the remaining portion of your budget (e.g., 30-50%) to strategic limit orders placed at key support levels or at significant discounts to current prices. Our limit order calculations provide excellent starting points.
Instead of placing one large limit order, consider creating multiple smaller orders at different price levels and timeframes. For example:
- 20% of your limit order budget at 24-hour target: $84347.29
- 50% at 7-day target: $83200.00
- 30% at 30-day target: $81564.68
If your limit orders don't fill within a certain timeframe (e.g., 7 days), consider adjusting them to the current market conditions or converting a portion back to your DCA strategy to ensure continued accumulation.
