Limit Order — Trade at Your Target Price Automatically | DeFiMara

What Is a Limit Order?

A limit order lets you set a target price. DeFiMara monitors the market 24/7 and executes the trade automatically when your price is hit — no need to watch charts.

How It Works

Describe your order in plain English — "buy ETH when it drops to $2800" or "sell 50% of my LINK if it reaches $20". DeFiMara converts this to an on-chain conditional order.

Example Commands

"buy 0.5 ETH when the price is below $2800" — "sell my ARB if it reaches $2" — "swap USDC for ETH if ETH drops 10%"

Limit Orders — Trade at Your Price

What Is a Limit Order?

A limit order lets you name your price. Instead of trading at whatever the market offers right now, you set the exact price — and Defimara executes automatically when the market reaches it. No more sitting in front of charts waiting.

💬 Example commands

  • "buy ETH when it drops to 2500, use 10 USDC"
  • "buy SOL when it hits $100, use 5 USDC"
  • "sell 0.0005 BTC when price reaches 70k"
  • "limit order WBTC at 60k, 10 USDC"

How It Works

  1. Set your price and amount — tell Defimara the target price, the token pair, and how much to spend or sell.
  2. Balance verified — the agent confirms you have the input token before placing the order.
  3. Order submitted on-chain — orders use CoW Protocol (Coincidence of Wants) or similar DEX limit-order systems for gas-efficient, MEV-resistant execution.
  4. Executes automatically — when the market price matches your target the order fills — no action needed on your part.

Buy vs. Sell Orders

📈 Buy limit

Execute when price falls to your target.

"buy ETH when it drops to 2500, use 10 USDC"

📉 Sell limit

Execute when price rises to your target.

"sell 0.0005 BTC when price reaches 70k"

Key Benefits

⏱️ Async execution

Set it and forget it. The order waits until your price is reached — no babysitting required.

🛡️ MEV-resistant

CoW Protocol's batch auction model protects against front-running and sandwich attacks.

💬 Plain English

No need to understand order books or tick sizes — just describe what you want.

✅ Balance pre-checked

Orders are only placed if your wallet has the required tokens — no failed fills.

Name your price. Defimara does the rest.
