Read explanation

A limit controls the price, not when an order fills

Market: execute at available prices

A market order tries to buy or sell immediately at prices other traders are offering. It may fill in several parts at different prices from the latest quote on screen. This lesson uses one selling price with enough Bitcoin available to buy.

Limit: set a price boundary

With a buy limit of 49,000 USDT, an ask of 50,000 is not eligible. The exercise switches the example ask to 48,000 and calculates a result at that price to compare eligibility. A real resting order is not repriced to each new ask. Its fill price depends on matching in the order book and cannot exceed your buy limit.

Waiting, cancelling and partial fills

Unfilled orders can be submitted for cancellation under platform rules; in real markets a fill may race with cancellation. Limit orders can also fill partially. This practice simplifies the model to full fills and full cancellations.

A maker leaves an order on the book before it matches; a taker matches an existing order. Different fills from one order may use different rates. Binance shows standard rates here, before extra charges or BNB discounts; check OKX for promotional rates. A negative rate here means a fee rebate.
