Arbidex limit orders attach a target price to a Quantum buy or sell order
Arbidex limit orders are documented Quantum buy or sell orders on Arbitrum that use a chosen target price. They suit a trade that can wait for that price, because the market may never reach it. Quantum describes automatic execution once the target is met. Setting a target does not establish a completed exchange.
A Quantum limit-order target expresses the intended trade only when its quoted assets and buy or sell direction match.
Quantum, the order, and the market
Quantum supports native buy and sell limit orders. The trading pair identifies the assets involved, while the target supplies the order's price condition. A swap quote describes a proposed exchange at an available rate. Quantum's Limit Orders documentation does not list supported pairs.
The exchange rate you are willing to accept
The target should express the exchange rate at which the intended buy or sell becomes acceptable, using the assets and price direction shown for that order. This sets the trading condition without predicting future prices.
The current quote supplies a point of comparison. If the current quote does not meet the order's price condition, a price change is needed before that condition can be met. The gap shows how different the desired rate is; it does not establish a waiting time or a probability of execution.
A target in the correct price units
A target price needs an asset and a payment unit. Read a quoted rate together with the assets that it describes. A rate expressed as payment tokens per unit of the traded asset has a different meaning from the reverse quotation. Keep those units unchanged when comparing the current rate with a proposed target.
The asset being bought or sold
The buy or sell direction identifies the intended change in asset holdings. The token names, rate direction, and selected side must all describe that exchange. A familiar ticker alone cannot resolve a price quoted in the opposite direction.
Buying the priced asset
A buy instruction expresses the price at which the trader wants to acquire the priced asset. Before applicable costs, the payment amount follows from the rate and the intended quantity. A lower quoted number means a lower purchase price only when the asset and payment units remain the same.
Selling the priced asset
A sell instruction expresses the price at which the trader wants to sell the priced asset. A higher quoted number means more payment tokens per unit sold only when the quotation direction remains unchanged. Reversing the rate reverses that numerical comparison.
What triggers a Quantum limit order?
Quantum describes reaching the selected target price as the trigger for automatic order execution. The market may never meet that condition. Price and duration are separate terms: a target does not establish how long an order stays valid, or supply a fixed execution time. Waiting for a price therefore leaves open the possibility of no exchange.
Quantum order features and constraints
A Quantum limit order combines a buy or sell instruction with a target and an automatic trigger. Quantum's Limit Orders documentation does not specify size limits, expiry terms, or order-specific charges.
| Parameter | Quantum model | Trading constraint |
|---|---|---|
| Product context | Quantum on Arbitrum | General feature support does not establish pair availability. |
| Order direction | Buy or sell | The side must match the intended asset exchange. |
| Target price | A price chosen by the trader | The selected price is a condition, not a prediction. |
| Execution trigger | The target price is met | The market may never reach the target. |
| Execution mode | Automatic once triggered | The instruction alone does not prove a completed trade. |
Pair support before a price decision
Pair compatibility is a prerequisite to using the target-price control. A token's appearance in a swap menu does not establish that a native limit order accepts the same exchange. Wallet connectivity also answers a different question from pair support. The relevant combination is the intended trading pair and Quantum's available order type.
Does touching the target mean my order has filled?
A matching market price alone does not establish that a particular order has filled. Quantum's stated trigger describes when automatic execution should occur. Completion concerns the actual exchange and the resulting token amounts. An order awaiting execution has not yet delivered the asset that the trader wants to receive.
An execution result needs to concern the same pair and direction as the order. A token balance alone can be ambiguous when other transfers affect that balance. An order-specific execution record, where available, connects the exchanged amounts to the intended trade.
The available swap quote as the alternative
A direct swap suits an available exchange rate that meets the asset need. Quantum's Smart Order Routing can draw liquidity from both Classic and Quantum pools. The router considers fee tiers, liquidity, gas costs, and slippage while comparing routes. These details describe swap routing; they do not establish the execution path of every native limit order.
A limit order fits a trade whose selected price condition takes priority over timing. The available swap quote is the alternative when obtaining the other asset sooner matters more.
Before you start with Arbidex limit orders
Do I need to watch the price continuously after setting a Quantum limit order?
Quantum's native limit orders are designed to execute automatically when their chosen target is met, without continuous manual price monitoring.
Can swap slippage tolerance replace a Quantum limit-order target?
A swap's slippage tolerance does not replace a limit-order target. The Quantum swap flow presents slippage tolerance when confirming a proposed exchange. Its native limit-order feature uses a chosen target to condition buying or selling. Adjusting the swap setting does not set that separate order condition.
Does the Classic trading fee also apply to Quantum limit orders?
A Classic pool's fee split does not establish the charge for a Quantum limit order. The Classic fee example and Quantum's swap pool tiers describe their respective pool-trading contexts. Quantum's Limit Orders documentation does not specify an order fee.
How does a Quantum liquidity range differ from a limit-order target?
A Quantum liquidity range sets the prices at which a liquidity-provider position is active and can earn trading fees. A native limit-order target supplies the condition for a buy or sell instruction. Liquidity provision maintains a pool position, while a limit order seeks an asset exchange when its chosen price condition is met.
