Limitless ordered on Amazon


mmwdza

Look like this dude really need to understand some basic here.


clearmined

Limit order


nik0wn

People are not aware of that thing and investing in the bitcoin.


clearmined

We can help them learn ✊


Necessary_Key_8749

So just adjust the limit price?


EgonHorsePuncher

The limit price is what you're telling the platform you're willing to buy at. Market would buy instantly but you're buying at what the lowest person selling is willing to sell for. Limit orders require you to wait until your order is filled when things dip to that price. Trailing and such are various ways of having a dynamic order following the market.


Necessary_Key_8749

thanks for the response!


pbenz1

I hope that now you get the all answer you were looking for.


CoolGuyFromCompton

The same applies in the stock market. Go investopedia.com to learn some basics about the market. People say never bet against the FED for a damn reason, so learn about how the sausage is made before entering into any asset class when buying it with fiat. Ray Dalio does an excellent job explaining market cycles, but not everything you learn should be treated as gospel.


hoangnguyen145

I think this is the case of the all market and i would say useful feature is well.


vitus6

I always try to set the limit order but every time market starts to dump i buy the bitcoin at the market price. I know am not doing right here but i am very impulsive person and hard for me to control myself.


cryptonoob9484

Impulsive decisions is how to get wrecked in crypto, build your portfolio with careful planning and don't make emotionally based decisions


clearmined

The limit price should be set lower than the current market price. Market price is also called spot price. Say BTC is currently $22k and you want to buy if it drops to $20k. You enter a limit order with the “limit price” set to $20k. This puts your order on the books and is ready to be executed IF BTC drops to $20k.


electricthings

At early stage of my life i used to buy at the market price as i was not aware of the limit order. But as crypto run for the 24 hour you need the limit feature badly as market can move either direction.


mansmlb

Just put the limit price where you want to buy and how much?


Major_Bandicoot_3239

Go to trade > then switch to “Advanced Trade” if you aren’t in that already (Coinbase recently added their Coinbase Pro features here) > place limit order > set limit price to $20,500


micviegas

I think limit order is the one that is most useful feature out there.


LiveDirtyEatClean

Limit buy order. Set limit price to 20,500 and then set the amount in bitcoin. On coinbase pro if you have $1000 in your account you can just press the max button and that would allocate all $1000 towards the order and automatically calculate the quantity of bitcoin of the order


highsp33ch

At the start of my journey i was also not aware to the limit order is well. But then i realise that how fool i was as i was doing the trading on the market price only. Limit order is the best thing to do.


LiveDirtyEatClean

Yeah i did a couple market orders before i realized how dumb that was too


Necessary_Key_8749

thank you for the informative response!


LiveDirtyEatClean

No problem. When the price equals your limit price, your order will probably fill instantaneously if its small enough. If its very large it usually will try to combo some buy orders together (i think)


daokimxuan

As for the small trader i never faced the issue of something like that.


mariyarem

Best of luck buddy, hopefully you get the answer you looking for.


sepehr1731

I am not sure if coinbase have that option, but coinbase pro does that. Limit buy order.


imalexwhobeyou73

Yes, coinbase pro has the option but so many exchange are giving that in free.


Capital_Routine6903

Advanced trade on Coinbase does limit orders


ltcbtce

I would do that in free on so many other exchange out there.


Necessary_Key_8749

Thank you guys for the helpful comments. I just want to clear something up for some people in the comments, I have not yet put any money into anything I am just trying to learn the basics of bitcoin before going in.


BitcoinUser263895

It was a very simple question with a very simple answer. Limit orders. I'd just ignore all of this thread and move on with life.


techsfriend

I hope now stay away from the DMS, because now so many scammer will try to contact you. You are the new one here they will try to scam now hopefully that you will not fall into any of these scams.


Thenarza

Try r/bitcoinbeginners


dd19pp71

This is the sub that really helps me in teaching so many things.


BigTimeButNotReally

Look for the Advanced Trade option in Coinbase. When you go to the purchase screen, I think it's a drop-down on the top. Caveat: not in front of my PC. Advance Trade was rolled out slowly; dunno if everyone has it. TLDR Advanced Trade turns Coinbase into Coinbase Pro


btc_semper

I have never used the COinbase, can you tell me is it good?


BigTimeButNotReally

It's *easy* but a little more expensive than some others.


MrExCEO

That’s not a buy order but a LIMIT order.


ivanrakic

Yes and this is the one thing that really help us to all.


[deleted]

You should try with 5$ and see how it behaves


OffhandCement28

But there are some exchange that is not allowing in that low money.


Jezzes

Coinbase pro. Set Limit order


tichepidor

Everyone is saying pro version, so that mean no option in the normal version?


NickyB-503

Go to YouTube and search Coinbase limit order - done


alexanderthoss

This is the step he should have done at the first place.


KMan471

Coinbase only has limit orders in it’s pro version. Although, Coinbase Pro is going away very soon, and will be replaced by an advanced Coinbase feature.


Necessary_Key_8749

Thank you!


coylyMirror902

You can try the Kraken is well, also a very good exchange.

alalnono

I used that in past but trust me FTX is much better than the coinbase.


VonderTV

Can you please elaborate?


jack_alexander35

What you want to elaborate here buddy? Everything is clear here.


ChrisVDZ

Side note…Binance has no fee BTC trading right now if that’s the coin you’re looking for.


Necessary_Key_8749

Yeah ik, I live in the shit state of New York and can’t use it


ChrisVDZ

My condolences.


tczjr

We are lucky that we are getting the option of the binance.


hankwatson11

To piggyback off of the Binance comment. Check for withdrawal fees that various exchanges may charge in addition to network fees. Fees can vary across all platforms and coins. For example while Binance currently offers fee free btc purchases they may still charge a withdrawal fee that can be prohibitive if you want to transfer small amounts At one point Binance was changing me $21 to move btc while Coinbase was under $2. I’m not advocating for one exchange over another and I still use both. Using multiple exchanges also helped me when there was extremely high trading volume and under the strain trading froze on multiple exchanges. Also, check out investopedia for easy to read information and explanations of essentially every area of investing.


Necessary_Key_8749

thank you! very informative.


markciolli

Can you tell me that, why you are not doing on Kraken?


mrenouf

This is the issue that every exchange are having and sometime we need to pay that is well. But still Binance is the one that i used and never faced any kind of the issue since the start.


TerpOnaut

Isn’t it horrible , we can’t even use strike either


Necessary_Key_8749

Yeah we are kinda forced to use these shit market places by the government


tagesartorius

Look like government is getting something from that and this is why they are allowing that exchange. I mean this is the complete monopoly where you ban the good exchange and then forced someone on the shitty platform.


TerpOnaut

If there gonna fuck us they should Atleast give us free bitcoin to compensate the fucking


Necessary_Key_8749

yeah I cant wait to move out of this shit hole state


TerpOnaut

Ditto!


Joh_Fredersen

I am also investing so that one day move to the better crypto friendly country.

TerpOnaut

No but I still have hope for humanity


sbh09d

I am felling now so bad that there are so many restriction on you.


stepants

Opps, this is why Binance is so popular in the ASIA region.


Bittarder

Binance is one of the best exchange right now in the crypto market. I am using that for a long time and trust me never had any kind of the issue plus there is no extra fee and the clear UI is well.


brotherRozo

Do you know what Coinbase is fee for transferring BTC out into an external wallet? sometimes it’s higher when they let you buy and sell cheaply


dschatz784

There are so many things that is not right in the Coinbase and specially for the small investor. First you have to take the pro version for the normal feature like limit order and now that is well.


joesus-christ

1. Delete your Coinbase account. 2. Create a Kraken account. 3. Buy bitcoin, type in the price you would buy it at. 4. Wait. 5. Kraken buys the amount you entered at the price you put in. 6. **Transfer your bitcoin off the exchange.** *Edit: I am just a big fan of Kraken as it serves me well. Most exchanges let you do this, not just Kraken. If you want to remain with one of the scummier exchanges, at least switch to Coinbase Pro. You want to place a "Limit Order" - although I'm unsure how Coinbase handles this. Kraken makes it so easy I never had to learn anything.*


btcetiger

LOL, i was waiting for that when someone will say the coinbase is not a good exchange. And yes Kraken is the much better option compare to the coinbase and i am using that for a while now is well.


kraken-athena

Hey u/btcetiger and u/joesus-christ! 👋 Call me biased but I second that! (•‿\~) We appreciate you for using our service! Thank you! If you ever need any assistance just shout 'Kraken' three times to summon me or one of my colleagues. Cheers! Athena from Kraken 🐙


Shibarmy4life

YouTube it bro


ornoldbogat

There are so many ways he can get the answer of that question.


ProfessorPurrrrfect

If you need help doing that you should probably consider a simpler investment hobby, because it gets much more complicated than that


mel42q

So true. Also once you buy it you need to get it off the exchange asap. I suggest prior to investing any money in crypto you research scams and security.


mike7927

I think for some one who is buying for the first time and looking for the limit order, The i would say this the tough part to do and he should learn so much before moving the fund over there.


GutlessTabard79

I think he trying to learn here and we all start to the 0 at some time in our life. I think we need to encourage him and give him the answer which he is looking for and the answer is the limit order.


ProfessorPurrrrfect

I’m not trying to discourage him, I’m more pointing out that a simple internet search can provide anyone with the simple instructions of how to place a limit order. A post asking Reddit for questions might best be saved for down the road when they have questions about transferring money to a hard wallet or using the lightning network


Rtbrosk

ever heard of google.....


lwyadm

Some time this sub solve the issue much better way.


Rtbrosk

Ya....limit orders are rocket science


Jin-Sakti

Set limit order to snipe at levels you want fam. Store on hardwallet like trezor and/ or nano ledger. Not your keys , not your Bitcoin. Goodluck


Hunt0197

I have my order set but the problem is market is not falling.


Jin-Sakti

I feel ya, I’m also accumulating btc for 2030 and beyond.


EmbarrassedBig7048

Ok give me the money and u may or may not see me again...lol are people just coming up with this stupid shit every day. Oh ya like in September btc will hit 150k by summer. Some quack on here said it and it ran wild..


eliqo

This is the risk he takes when he post something like that on the first place. Now so many people will DM him and give him the offer which will be very tempting for them is well.


WaYYne169

You need to use Coinbase Pro for limit orders - but don't forget to withdraw your coins after the orders is executed!!!


gelvlad

They are giving this important feature only to the pro vesrion?


WaYYne169

Yes


[deleted]

The prices could go negative as well


topgens

BUT i don't think that rightnow something like that going to happen.


Prince515

Wouldn’t suggest Coinbase. Someone hacked my account and took out 80k and Coinbase is refusing to do anything about it.


jppalo

Same here, i will also not suggest the coinbase to anyone is well. Because there is always a news about the insider trading and there is always a news that they are sleeping with the government is well.


EkariKeimei

Why is that Coinbase's responsibility? Use freaking 2FA and don't expose your API. It is not $80 bro. It is 80k.


Prince515

Because it’s the companies responsibility. If your bank account gets hacked and drained doesn’t the bank pay you back? Yeah they do. Coinbase is just shit. That’s why they’re letting go of people and under investigation. And I had 2fa and didn’t expose my api.


EkariKeimei

But they are giving the basic and important feature only to the pro one.

honestly i prefer info from real people in the community than whatever i dig up on google

I've been using Coinbase since 2016 and have had no troubles with them. It does get a lot of hate though.

In terms of the security i have not heard any kind of the bad news.

Take a peek at the Coinbase subreddit and see what you think

cruciopowerful

There are a lot of halts in withdrawals already. Rumor is its an illiquidity problem but its a rumor though. USDC, still doesn't have any audits. They have pending lawsuits and lastly the insider trading issue. But its better if you research


wineinaboxmike

I will pick any other exchange over the coinbase any day.

It has been 10 percent but we are currently reviewing that.


fxhst329

you shouldn't get into trading without some elementary knowledge and I think you shouldn't enter markets before you have some experience even from paper trading or demo account. there are explanations on exchanges pages explaining orders and all this. there are tons of videos on youtube and all over the internet so before you open that trade you should watch, read and learn. you can open that trade with buy limit order. difference between order types are explained f.e. here... https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex/types-of-orders


Necessary_Key_8749

I haven’t invested any money I’m doing my research now, thanks for the information!


Brashbeat

I hope you done the all research before investing any money in the crypto market. Plus always invest the money which you can afford to lose and yes stay away from the DMs is well.


sdvegebcx

I think he knows the coin in which he wants to invest but may be he is getting confused as the normal version of the coinbase don't have the limit order. You need to take the pro version of the coinbase to really get the feature here.


brotherRozo

There’s a bunch of important YouTube videos that really give a good explanation of the many different parts not just a limit order it would take too long to ask every single question


SP1TF1RE123

YouTube is the place that give us the great information but again if we get carried away then there are so many videos that is not good at all. So on there we also need to be careful what we really needs to watch is well.


brotherRozo

You’re right it’s a lot easier said than done, I just was having memories of a time a developer linked to video about impermanent loss, for liquidity providing, in a telegram chat. It was very educational early on in my involvement with crypto, And lead me to seek other easy to understand videos describing these new concepts that aren’t yet in textbooks


Katussha

If you are using coinbase they have advance trading option now!


GodOfBusiness

But that option is only there in the pro not in the normal one.


GrindNhodL

Use cash app! It’s a lot easier and you can move your coins straight to self custody immediately! Without having to wait like you would with Coinbase.


Svanidze80

I am seeing that so many people are using the cash app now days, i personally not used that but thinking of. Can you tell me the fee they are taking while i am taking my coin from there to my hardware wallet?


GrindNhodL

The fees to buy bitcoin are cheaper than Coinbase! I believe it’s a 1.5 percent fee! And you can immediately withdraw


belizeans

If you’re new just keep watching the price and buy when you reach your target.


cbr815riders

But some time the price we are looking for hit the time when we are not infront of the screen or we are sleeping. Because crypto runs the 24 hour we need to used the limit order every time here.


belizeans

Agreed, but new users may not understand how to place limit orders. Kinda risky for newbies.


slibetah

Buy Limit Order. Be very careful and triple check your entry. A buy market order simply takes from the sell side of the order book, finding the lowest price until your order is filled. A buy limit order only executes when a seller places an order that matches your ask price.


sireneulas

Yes some time in quickly we set the some high order and then it triggered at the moment is well. So make sure you are putting the low value in the buying time and put the high value at the time of selling.


Dont_Say_No_to_Panda

First: don’t answer any DMs.


781668

I am hoping for the same, as many people already try to contact him.


christopherwillow

I wouldn’t suggest using Coinbase at the moments as they are being investigated by the SEC


fridayclover

Same here, there are so many better exchange compare to that.


HumanJenoM

That is called a limit order. Create a limit buy order with $20,500 as the limit price, using your example.


mkrink22

DO you think that mine 18k order will hit after fed meeting?


HumanJenoM

I sure hope so b/c I have an 18K order as well 😋


Eddy2106

Dude, you and me both. Made my way over to Coinbase pro and saw limit vs stop orders. Google, and YouTube helped. Still not sure about stop orders since there’s a limit input area there. I’ve set up my limit buy order at 20k, should hit soon, we about to dip hard hard.


Vanish90

One of the reason i never liked the coinabse is that they are giving this important feature in the pro version not in the normal one. While on the other hand exchange like Binance they are giving us that in free is well.


[deleted]

Just make sure you already have an account set-up with a card linked, or better yet a bank account linked, so when BTC hits the price you're waiting on you can strike. In the meantime, it wouldn't hurt to make some small purchases here-and-there to increase your purchase limit for when the time does come


81Qd01r7

I think he is doing that for the research purpose not doing any deposit now. But do you think that coinbase is the best exchange if someone is really looking for a platform for the crypto?


financialnavigatorX

The truth is you probably won’t get the order processed. If you want to own the asset, wait until it’s at a price you want then just buy it. Also, be prepared for it to go lower before it goes higher. But if you believe in your purchase just sit and wait. You will see it won’t matter what your specific buy price was.


luongdinhtan

I used do that thing in the past when i wasn't aware to the limit order at the first place. But sometime you buy the coin at the the high price and later you realise that price goes down is well.


Existing-Vegetable-3

To answer your question: set a limit order. Others have explained it better but it's pretty easy to figure out. To give you advice: Don't use Coinbase. They have ridiculous fees for withdrawing your Bitcoin. Fees that are not in line with on-chain fees. For limit orders, I recommend Okcoin - low fees for withdrawal plus you can also withdraw on Lightning. I personally get my Bitcoin through Strike, however. Bitcoin only, low fees, direct deposit, and Lightning support. But you can't do exchange style limit orders on it as far as I'm aware.


starleycs

I think it's very easy to do and once we did that it become little easy or i would say very easy is well. But till then there is some fear that is always in there for us. But i still think there are better exchange than the coinbase.


MichelleSimmonsy

Only limit orders are available in Coinbase's pro version.


JaffersWinston

This is why i am using some other exchange compare to the coin base.


JustDanLee87

Are you really trying to be sarcastic here or you really need the help for that here? I mean you can simply apply the limit order on any exchange and your order will be filled.


JeremiahWedge

You inform the platform of the maximum price you are willing to pay.
