Market & Limit Orders
Every trade on ZeroTick starts with an order. Whether you want instant execution or a specific price target, the platform gives you full control over how your trade executes, along with built-in risk management tools to protect your position from the moment it opens.
Market Orders
A market order executes immediately at the current market price. This is the fastest way to enter or exit a position.
Select the Market tab in the Buy/Sell panel
Enter the amount you want to buy or sell
Review the estimated output, price impact, and fees
Confirm the trade
Market orders are subject to slippage, the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price. You can adjust your slippage tolerance in the settings.
Limit Orders
A limit order lets you set a target price. The order sits on the book until the market reaches your price, then executes automatically.
Select the Limit tab in the Buy/Sell panel
Enter the amount and your target price
Review the order details
Confirm the order
Limit orders do not execute until the market reaches your specified price. They can be cancelled at any time before execution.
Stop Loss & Take Profit
Stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) are per-trade risk management tools. Set them when placing any order, market or limit, to protect your position automatically.
Stop Loss
Set a price level below your entry (for long positions) where the position will automatically close to limit your loss. If the market drops to your SL level, the trade exits without requiring any action from you.
Take Profit
Set a price level above your entry (for long positions) where the position will automatically close to lock in your gains. If the market rises to your TP level, the trade exits at your target.
How to Set SL/TP
Expand the Stop Loss / Take Profit section in the order panel
Enter your SL price, TP price, or both
The risk/reward ratio calculates automatically
Place your trade, SL and TP are attached to the order
SL and TP are optional on every trade but recommended for risk management. You can modify or remove them at any time, even on open positions.
Slippage Settings
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price. In volatile or illiquid markets, slippage can be significant.
Default slippage tolerance : Pre-configured based on your execution preset
Custom slippage : Set your own tolerance as a percentage
If slippage exceeds your tolerance : The trade reverts and you are not charged (gas fees still apply)
Lower slippage tolerance protects you from bad fills but may cause trades to fail in fast-moving markets. Higher tolerance ensures execution but accepts wider price variation.
Execution Presets
Three configurable presets, P1, P2, and P3, let you save different combinations of priority fee, tip, slippage tolerance, and MEV protection settings. Each preset has separate settings for buy and sell orders.
Click the gear icon next to the preset selector to customize each preset. Switch between presets before placing a trade to match the current market conditions.
