Trade with Flexible Order Types and Time in Force options on OXFUN. The available order types are listed below.


Limit Orders

  • A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specific price or better.

  • Executed only if the market reaches the specified price.

  • Use to enter and exit positions at precise prices, controlling trade execution and slippage.

  • Can act as both Makers and Takers.

Time In Force

Limit orders can be placed with 5 different time-in-force parameters, each changing the order's behavior:

GTC (Good ‘Til Canceled)

  • Default time-in-force parameter.

  • Order remains active until matched or canceled.

  • Can execute as makers and takers.

IOC (Immediate or Cancel)

  • Buys or sells up to the desired price; if not fully filled, it gets canceled.

  • Always executes as takers.

FOK (Fill or Kill)

  • Fully matches for the entire size or gets canceled.

  • Always executes as takers.

Maker Only

  • Guaranteed to execute as makers.

  • Rejected by the matching engine if they would match as a taker.

Maker Only Reprice

  • Available via API.

  • Repriced to the best bid or ask if they cross the spread.

  • Guaranteed to execute as makers.


Market Orders

  • Instruction to buy or sell at the current market price.

  • Executed immediately, regardless of the price.

  • Useful for quick entry or exit, especially in volatile markets.

  • Always execute as takers.


Stop-Loss Orders

  • Used to manage risk.

  • Instruction to buy/sell if the price falls/rises beyond a set point.

  • Limits potential losses, protecting capital.

  • Can be placed as market or limit orders.


Stop Limit

  • GTC limit orders activated once the trigger price is met.

  • “Trigger price” sets when the limit order triggers.

  • “Price” sets where the limit order is placed.

  • Caps slippage but may not match in fast-moving markets.


Stop Market

  • Market orders activated once the trigger price is met.

  • “Trigger price” sets when the market order triggers.
