HTX Limit Order: Setting Your Price Instead of Chasing It

What a Limit Order Does

A limit order only fills at your chosen price or better. It can rest on the book for minutes, days, or until you cancel it, instead of executing immediately like a market order.

Limit Orders and the Maker Fee on HTX

When your limit order rests on the book and someone else's order fills against it, HTX bills that fill at the maker rate — usually cheaper than the taker rate charged on a market order. HT holding or fee payment trims the maker rate further.

Time-in-Force Options Worth Knowing

GTC (good-till-cancelled) is the default on most pairs; IOC (immediate-or-cancel) and FOK (fill-or-kill) exist for traders who want to control partial fills. A post-only option, where available, guarantees maker-side treatment by rejecting an order that would otherwise fill immediately.

Order Types Available on HTX

Market, limit, and stop-limit orders, with an order form that still carries a few layout choices familiar to long-time Huobi-era users.

The Limit-Order Habit Worth Building on HTX

A returning user migrating from an old Huobi account into the current HTX futures product tends to default to limit orders on HTX specifically because htx's top pairs carry solid depth from years of operating history, but older, lower-volume pairs can be noticeably thinner than the top markets.

• Set the price a touch inside the spread, not chasing the last trade
• Cancel and replace instead of leaving a stale price resting for days
• Compare the maker fee saved against the time spent waiting for a fill
