# Conditional Orders

### Conditional Orders

Conditional Orders allow you to automatically open a position only when the market reaches a specific trigger price. They are ideal for automated entries, multi-step strategies, breakout trades, and cross-asset triggers.

#### Why Conditional Orders Are Different

Unlike regular limit orders, conditional orders do not check your margin when you place them.\
They only check your balance at the moment they trigger.

This gives you a major advantage:

* You can plan trades using future unrealized profits.
* You can stack or scale positions based on gains that haven’t hit your account yet.
* You can set an entire trading sequence in advance and everything executes automatically.

**Example:**\
You are long BTC and expect +$1,000 if it pumps 5%.\
That profit isn't in your balance yet, but you can already set a conditional order that buys more BTC *using those future profits* when BTC hits that level.

This enables professional-grade automation without needing to babysit the chart.

### How Conditional Orders Work

1. **Select “Conditional”**\
   Choose the Conditional option from the advanced order types.
2. **Choose Long or Short**
   * **Long:** Opens a buy when the trigger condition is met.
   * **Short:** Opens a sell/short when the trigger condition is met.
3. **Choose the Execution Type: Limit or Market**

#### 3.1 Conditional Limit Order

When price hits the Trigger Price, Supercexy places a Limit Order at the price you choose.\
You also set the Order Value (size).

Example:\
“If BTC reaches $100,000, place a limit buy at $99,800.”

#### 3.2 Conditional Market Order

When price hits the Trigger Price, Supercexy places a Market Order, filling immediately using the liquidity available up to your selected size.

Example:\
“If ETH drops to $2,500, buy at market.”

### Cross-Asset Conditional Orders (Set Trigger Asset)

This is where conditional orders become extremely powerful.\
You can trigger an order based on the price of any other asset.

#### How to use Set Trigger Asset

1. **Enable “Set Trigger Asset.”**
2. **Select the Trigger Asset** (e.g., BTC).
3. **Set the Trigger Price** for that asset.
4. **Choose Limit or Market:** this applies to the asset you are trading, not the trigger asset.

> Example:
>
> * Trigger Asset: BTC
> * Trigger Price: $100,000
> * Trade Asset: ETH
> * Execution: Market\
>   → When BTC hits $100k, Supercexy buys ETH instantly.

### Why Conditional Orders Matter

* Plan complex strategies ahead of time
* Use capital you will have, not just what you have now
* Automate cascading or stacked positions
* Scale into dips or pumps using realized/unrealized profits
* Never miss an entry because you're AFK
* Unify Stop/Take + Limit/Market into one simple interface
* Works on both spot and perps
* Fully on-chain, fully automated

Conditional orders give you the flexibility, precision, and automation usually only found in professional trading systems.
