How to Use the Stop-Limit Function on Binance.US
On the mobile app
1. Tap the 'Markets' icon on the bottom of your app screen
2. Tap the appropriate trading pair (the currencies that you will trade between). You can scroll down or use the search bar to find more trading pairs.
3. Make sure Advanced trading is highlighted at the top of your screen.
4. From the main screen for the trading pair you've selected, tap 'Buy' or 'Sell.' In this example we will be placing a Buy order (and thus tapping 'Buy'). If you'd like to place a Sell order, tap 'Sell.'
5. Make sure that the Stop-Limit tab at the top is selected. If not, tap on it to select it.
6. Set your stop price (the price that will trigger your limit order) and your limit price (the maximum or minimum amount you will pay or receive). Then, enter the amount of the asset you would like to buy or sell. You can also use the percentage tabs to automatically use a percentage of your available funds. The 'Total' is the total value you will pay/receive to buy/sell the chosen amount at the chosen price.
Once all details are filled in, tap the 'Buy' or 'Sell' button for your selected asset at the bottom of the section.
7. Confirm your order details in the pop-up window.
8. Your Stop-Limit Buy order can be viewed in the Open Orders section for your chosen trading pair. In this section, we will see the open Stop-Limit Buy Order, as well as any other open orders. You can tap on an order to get more details. From here you can also cancel the order.
On the web
1. Log in to your Binance.US account
2. Hover over 'Trade,' which you will find at the top of the screen. Select 'Spot Trading' from the drop-down menu.
3. Once you're on the Advanced Trading screen you can also change your trading pair by clicking the trading pair displayed in the upper-left corner. From the drop-down menu, you can scroll to find, or search for, your desired trading pair.
5. Once you have chosen your trading pair, you can focus on the 'Place Order' section on the right-hand side of your screen to continue making your trade. Use the Buy or Sell tabs at the top of the section to select the type of Stop-Limit order you want to make. Also, make sure that the Stop-Limit tab is visible and underlined (selected). If you cannot see the Stop-Limit tab, click the small arrow next to the furthest tab to the right and select Stop-Limit from the dropdown.
6. Set your stop price (the price that will trigger your limit order) and your limit price (the maximum or minimum amount you will pay or receive). Then, enter the amount of the asset you would like to buy or sell. You can also use the slider to automatically use a percentage of your available funds. The 'Total' is the total value you will pay/receive to buy/sell the chosen amount at the chosen price.
When placing a Stop-Limit Order, you may want to select a conditional order type to modify your Stop-Limit Order's behavior. Learn more about Iceberg and Time in Force (TIF) order types.
Once all details are filled in, click the 'Buy' or 'Sell' button for your selected asset at the bottom of the section.
7. Confirm your order details in the pop-up window.
8. A pop-up will briefly display in the lower right-hand corner, confirming your trade.
