Closing Limit Order

There is another type of limit order that closes a transaction, and, often, it is listed simply as a limit order by the trading platform, but this is an order to close a transaction that has already been initiated. If the initial transaction was a buy, then the closing limit order will be a sell, and vice versa. It is not necessary to specify whether to buy or sell, since this will be determined by the initial transaction. It is only necessary to specify the price.

Closing limit orders are set to take profits, so if the quote currency was purchased, then the limit order will be higher than the purchase price; if the quote currency was sold, then the limit order will be less than the sale price. If the broker’s relevant bid or ask price never reaches your limit order, then the limit will not be triggered.
