Limit Orders

Buy or sell tokens when they reach a specific price.

Overview​

Limit orders execute automatically when your price target is hit. They're useful for:

  • Buying dips ("buy when it drops 10%")
  • Taking profits ("sell when it rises 20%")
  • Entering positions at better prices

Supported Chains​

Limit orders are available on EVM chains only:

  • Base
  • Ethereum
  • Polygon
  • Unichain

Not available on Solana.

Limit Buy Orders​

Buy tokens when the price drops:

"buy 100 BNKR if it drops 10%"
"buy $50 of ETH when price drops 15%"
"buy DEGEN if it drops to $0.001"

Limit Sell Orders​

Sell tokens when the price rises:

"sell my BNKR when it rises 20%"
"sell 50% of my DEGEN when it goes up 30%"
"sell DEGEN when BTC reaches $50,000"

Price Targets​

Percentage Change​

Most common—trigger based on price movement:

"buy BNKR if it drops 10%"     # -10% from current
"sell BNKR when it rises 20%"  # +20% from current

Absolute Price​

Trigger at a specific USD price:

"sell ETH when it reaches $4000"
"buy BTC if it drops to $60000"

Relative to Another Asset​

Trigger based on another token's price:

"sell my DEGEN when BTC reaches $50,000"

Managing Limit Orders​

View Active Orders​

"show my limit orders"
"what automations do I have?"

Cancel Orders​

"cancel my limit order for BNKR"
"cancel all my limit orders"

How It Works​

  1. You set the order — Specify token, amount, and trigger
  2. Bankr monitors price — Checks continuously
  3. Trigger hits — Price reaches your target
  4. Order executes — Swap happens automatically

Example Strategies​

Buy the Dip​

"buy $100 of ETH if it drops 5%"

Take Profits​

"sell half my BNKR when it rises 50%"

Scale In​

Set multiple orders at different levels:

"buy $50 of BNKR if it drops 10%"
"buy $50 of BNKR if it drops 20%"
"buy $100 of BNKR if it drops 30%"

Requirements​

  • Sufficient balance of the sell token
  • Sufficient gas for execution (or gas sponsorship)
  • Token must have adequate liquidity

Limitations​

  • Not available on Solana
  • Not available via XMTP
  • Price targets are approximate (execution depends on DEX liquidity)
  • Orders expire if balance becomes insufficient
