How To Trade On Binance.US (Market & Limit Orders)

This article will help you learn how to trade on Binance.US using Market and Limit orders

Updated today

Binance.US makes trading easy, even when using our Advanced Trading (spot trading) screen. Importantly, Advanced Trading is available to all verified users, even those who've only passed Basic verification.

With this guide, you will learn how to trade crypto on our Advanced Trading feature, using either a Market Order or Limit Order. You can also learn more about the differences between Market and Limit orders here.

Note: Trades made using the Advanced Trading screen must have a minimum order value worth the equivalent of $10.

For very large orders, we recommend using Limit, OTC, or even Iceberg orders.


Market Orders
