Topic: FTX Order Types (Read 128 times)

I have made this translation to contribute to traders who want to use the FTX service and actively use only a few features without knowledge. As you stated, I have completed the reporting process to show the title in a more appropriate category. I hope I get access to more people and contribute to the fact that more people have information. I don't want to update the title every day, in fact, I think there is a content that can stay up to date when enough attention is shown. Thank you for your valuable comment and category recommendations.

The subject sounds interesting for all active traders in FTX exchange. It should receive more attention. Perhsps, you have to post this in another board like "service discussion" main board or the "currency exchange" section. In the actual board or in any other, it would be nice from you to keep it updated or just pump it once a day .

I want to write an update message because the subject does not receive enough attention. I would recommend that friends who will use the FTX exchange read this article before and start buy-sell transactions after having an idea about the types of transactions. There are people who accidentally open a new position to close the position, especially when performing leveraged operations. That is why you need to research and learn the service you will use first and then start to process it. Do not be late to use this service, which has various advantages and has a high volume of transactions.

Limit Order: In this type of order, the transaction is opened by specifying the price and quantity (or the total position size). When your order is entered on the board, if another user or users entered the order for the same price, a ranking is created according to the order entry time.

Market Order: In this type of order, the transaction is opened by specifying only the quantity without the price. Direct purchase or sale is performed on the board for the amount entered by the user.

Stop Market: In this type of order, the transaction is not reflected directly on the board. A trigger condition is required to process this order on the board. The user specifies the trigger price and quantity. When the parity comes at the trigger price, a direct purchase or sale is made on the board as much as the amount entered by the user.

Stop Limit: The user enters the order by specifying the trigger price, the price and the amount of the transaction. When the parity comes at the trigger price, the price and quantity specified by the user are entered on the board. There is a point to be considered here. When the trigger condition is fulfilled, the “stop market” order is definitely executed, whereas the “stop limit” order has no certainty to occur. This is entirely dependent on the price the user specified when entering the stop limit order.

Trailing Stop: The working logic of this order varies completely from the others. When the user enters this order, it specifies the "value to be followed" and the amount. If the user has used this type of order to buy, the price at which the order will be raised each time the price goes up. However, if the parity price decreases from the highest value (the highest value after entering the order) to “follow value” after the order is entered, the order is realized. The opposite is true in the sales section.

Take Profit: In this type of order, the transaction is not reflected directly on the board. A trigger condition is required. The user specifies the trigger price and quantity. When the parity comes at the trigger price, a direct purchase or sale is made on the board as much as the amount entered by the user.

Take Profit Limit: The user enters the order by specifying the trigger price, the price and the amount of the transaction. When the parity comes at the trigger price, the price and quantity specified by the user are entered on the board.

** If the user wants to enter both stop and take profit orders for his current position, we suggest that both orders turn on the "declining only" feature. Otherwise, if the price goes to one of these two orders and then to the other, a new position will be opened.



Just Descending: When this feature is on, the operation will only occur if it will shrink or close the existing position. This feature cannot be used to open new positions or enlarge existing positions.

POST: The order takes place only as a maker. If it cannot be realized as a maker, the order is canceled.

IOC: Immediate or cancel. The order is executed only as a taker (market buyer). If it cannot be performed as a taker, the order is canceled.
