Limit orders let you trade at target prices without watching charts. sign up for Binance then download the Binance APP to use them.
What Is a Limit Order?
You set a price, and when the market reaches it, the system executes automatically.
Example: BTC is at 60,000 USDT, but you think 58,000 is a good entry. Place a limit buy at 58,000 — it fills automatically if BTC drops there.
