How to create a limit order#

You can create limit orders on the CenturionDEX web app.

A limit order stays open until it can be filled at your agreed price, unless you cancel it or the order expires.

To create a limit order:

  1. Open the CenturionDEX web app and connect your wallet. Then select Limit.
  2. Select the token drop-down and choose the token you wish to pay. You can browse the list or search by name or contract address.
  3. Select the second token drop-down and choose the token you wish to receive.
  4. Enter the amount you wish to pay or receive, or select Max. The Max option inputs the full balance available for swapping.
  5. Enter the execution price for your order — the price at which it will execute. The quick options (1%, 5%, or 10%) set a price that much better than the current market price. For example, 10% means the swap executes only when the price is 10% better than the current market price.
  6. Select the expiry — how long the order stays active.
  7. Select Submit order.
  8. Review the order details, then select Approve and swap. This requires a network cost. The first time you swap a token with the Centurion Protocol, you must approve it. See What is an approval transaction?
  9. In your wallet, place the order by signing the message. This signature does not require a network cost.
  10. Once opened, the order is submitted to an open network of third-party fillers.

You will be notified when the order is filled. See How to view limit order history to track your orders.
