OKX 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 OKX

When your limit order rests on the book and someone else's order fills against it, OKX bills that fill at the maker rate — usually cheaper than the taker rate charged on a market order. OKB 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 OKX

Market, limit, stop, and OCO orders, all available from the unified order form.

The Limit-Order Habit Worth Building on OKX

A trader who keeps spot, margin, and futures all under one unified balance instead of moving funds between separate wallets tends to default to limit orders on OKX specifically because okx's top pairs are deep, and because margin is unified, a market order's fill price is what matters most — which balance it draws from is a separate question worth checking.

• 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
