Exchange: Trading & Orders
An “accepted” or “open” order means it is active on the order book (or queued for matching), not that it is guaranteed to fill. Execution depends on price, liquidity, and matching priority. Some orders may be canceled or rejected if requirements are not met.
Use the order type that matches your intent and risk tolerance. Availability may vary by region.
- Market: executes at the best available price (may experience slippage).
- Limit: executes only at your specified price or better (may not fill).
- Stop: triggers when a price condition is met; execution depends on liquidity after trigger.
Status wording can differ slightly by platform, but the meaning is generally consistent.
- Open: active and waiting to match.
- Partially filled: some quantity executed; remainder still open.
- Filled: fully executed.
- Canceled: stopped by you or the system (e.g., expired, risk event).
- Rejected: not accepted (invalid params, limits, or compliance checks).
Market orders can fill across multiple price levels if liquidity is limited, especially during fast markets.
- Final execution price may differ from the last traded price you see.
- Lower-liquidity pairs are more sensitive to price impact.
- Consider limit orders when price certainty matters.
A limit order may fill in parts as matching orders appear. The remaining amount stays open unless canceled.
- Large orders may take longer to fill at a single price level.
- Partial fills can occur across time and multiple counterparties.
- Order book depth affects fill speed and pricing.
Funds can be “held” for open orders, pending deposits/withdrawals, or risk checks.
- Total: your overall balance.
- Available: what can be used for new orders right now.
- Open orders reserve funds until filled or canceled.
Rejections protect users and the platform. Some checks happen instantly; others may happen after submission.
- Insufficient available balance or minimum size not met.
- Invalid parameters (price/quantity precision, unsupported pair).
- Verification required or account restrictions.
- Risk controls, market integrity rules, or geo restrictions.
Regional Availability
The directory below reflects country-level feature availability for this Help Center page. Availability may change due to legal, regulatory, sanctions/AML, market integrity, risk controls, or partner requirements. Even where supported, individual orders may be rejected based on verification status, limits, or compliance screening.
| Country | Exchange (Spot Trading) | Advanced Orders (Stop/Limit) | Margin / Leverage |

“Supported” indicates availability at a country level. Individual orders may still be rejected due to verification requirements, market integrity controls, sanctions/AML screening, limits, system maintenance, or risk policies. Feature sets (e.g., stop orders or leverage) may differ by region and may change over time.
Fees & Pricing
Trading fees and pricing outcomes depend on order type, liquidity, and market conditions. Fees and any applicable spreads are shown in-app before you confirm an order (where available). Fees may differ by region, product, and account level.
- Fee: a platform charge shown as a separate line item (where applicable).
- Spread: the difference between buy and sell prices in the market (can widen during volatility).
- Some order flows may include both, depending on product design and region.
- Maker: adds liquidity (often a limit order that doesn’t execute immediately).
- Taker: removes liquidity (market orders and limits that execute immediately).
- Your in-app preview will show how fees apply to the order you place.
- Order preview (before confirmation) typically shows estimated fees.
- Order receipt / trade details show final fees after execution.
- Account statements and exports include fee line items (where supported).
Example only. Actual rates may vary and are disclosed in-app.
- A small percentage fee may apply to an executed trade.
- Partial fills may generate multiple executions (and fees) for the same order.
- Network or withdrawal fees are separate from trading fees.
Final execution price can differ from the last traded price due to slippage, liquidity, and volatility. Fees and spreads (if any) are displayed before order confirmation where possible. LightBit may apply risk controls or protective limits during unusual market conditions.
