# Limit Orders

> Set buy and sell orders at your target price

# Limit Orders

Limit orders let you specify the exact price at which you want to buy or sell. The order stays active until it’s filled, or you cancel it.

## Buy Limit Orders

Buy limit orders are placed from the [**Market screen**](https://docs.pollyx.trade/events-and-markets).

### Steps

1. Open a market and tap **“Limit YES”** or **“Limit NO”**
2. **Enter your limit price** — the bot prompts you to type a price in one of three formats:
   * **Cents**: type a number 1-99 (e.g., `45` means 45 cents)
   * **Multiplier**: type a value like `2x` (doubles the current price)
   * **Percentage offset**: type `+5%` (adds 5% to the current price)
3. **Choose your amount** — pick a preset or enter a custom USD amount
4. The order is submitted

### Order Outcomes

After submission, a limit buy order can have three outcomes:

| **Outcome** | **What Happened**                                                     |
| :---------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Matched** | Your order was fully filled immediately at your limit price or better |
| **Posted**  | Your order is on the order book, waiting to be filled                 |
| **Failed**  | Something went wrong (e.g., network error)                            |

Posted orders appear in your [**Limit Orders**](https://docs.pollyx.trade/limit-orders#viewing-limit-orders) list and will fill when the market reaches your price.

## Sell Limit Orders

Sell limit orders are placed from the **Position Detail** screen (Limit tab).

### From the Limit Tab

1. Go to **Positions** > tap a position > switch to the **Limit** tab
2. Choose one of:
   * **Limit Sell 100%** — sell your entire position at a price you specify
   * **Limit Sell X%** — enter a custom percentage, then a price
   * **Multiplier presets** (e.g., “Sell 50% at 2x”, “Sell 100% at 4x”) — one-tap sell at a multiple of the current price

### Setting the Price

The price input accepts the same three formats as buy limits:

* **Cents** (e.g., `75`)
* **Multiplier** (e.g., `2x`)
* **Percentage offset** (e.g., `+10%`)

All prices are clamped to the valid range of 1-99 cents.

## Viewing Limit Orders

View all your active limit orders using the **Limit Orders** button on the main menu or the `/orders` command.The limit orders screen shows:

* Total number of active orders
* Orders grouped by market, each showing:
  * Buy or Sell side
  * Order value in USD
  * Trigger price and current price
  * Fill progress (filled/total shares)

### Pagination

Orders are displayed 2 market groups per page. Use the **Previous** and **Next** buttons to navigate.

## Cancelling Orders

### Cancel a Single Order

Each order in the list has a **“Cancel Order”** link. Tap it to cancel that specific order. You’ll see a confirmation once the cancellation is processed.

### Cancel All Orders

Tap **“Cancel All Orders”** at the bottom of the limit orders screen. You’ll be asked to confirm before all orders are cancelled.
