# Orders

> Market, limit, stop loss, take profit, trailing stop and DCA orders on OceanX.

OceanX orders are designed to reduce friction while giving you control over
execution. All of the types below are available for spot trading from a token page.

## Market orders

Market orders execute immediately through the OceanX routing engine. Each one is
simulated, smart-routed, signed by your embedded wallet and submitted for execution.

## Order types

| Type          | What it does                                                            |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Market        | Fills immediately at the best routed price                              |
| Limit         | Rests until the market reaches your price                               |
| Stop loss     | Sells if the price falls to your trigger                                |
| Take profit   | Sells if the price rises to your trigger                                |
| Trailing stop | Follows the price up and sells if it falls back by your chosen distance |
| DCA           | Splits a buy or sell into scheduled portions over time                  |

Triggered orders are evaluated server-side and submitted for you when the condition
is met, so you don't need to keep the page open.

<Warning>
  A trigger is a *submission* condition, not a guaranteed fill. Once triggered, the
  order goes to market and can still move on slippage — in thin books it can fail
  outright. Check [Exit Check](https://www.oceanx.trade/exit-check) before assuming a
  large position can be sold at the price you see.
</Warning>

## Perpetuals

Perpetuals have their own order entry — see [Perpetuals](/markets/perpetuals).

## FAQ

### Do I need to manually sign every order?

Not for routine trades. When session authorization is active, orders within your
defined limits sign automatically on device. See
[Wallets & Security](/getting-started/wallets-security).

### Are limit orders available for spot trading?

Yes, along with stop loss, take profit, trailing stop and DCA.

### Does a stop loss guarantee my exit price?

No. It decides *when* the order is submitted, not what it fills at. See the warning
above.
