Title: How to buy (limit order) on bittrex? Post by: lestat2k7 on November 14, 2017, 12:48:12 AM Hi,
I have this UI: https://i.imgur.com/dIztN2a.png I read online that if I am not wrong Units specifies how many NEO I want. Price is how many BTC I want to pay for 1 NEO. Total is total amount of BTC this transaction will cost. I just don't see why when I fill in the first 2 fields the Total doesn't calculate automatically? So my understanding must be wrong? Also how does Buy When option works? Can you please show me how to get 1000 NEO for 0.001 BTC each for a total of 1 BTC? Thanks in advance. Title: Re: How to buy (limit order) on bittrex?

Put 1000 NEO in the top field. 0.001 btc in the second. The third will fill itself. Does that help? Title: Re: How to buy (limit order) on bittrex?

Also this system seems not very flexible, i.e. if I get 1000 NEO for 1 BTC when BTC is 7k today, tomorrow 10k, I don't want to pay 10k for the same 1000 NEO when I put the order. With USD/CAD, this is easy to control. But with BTC it seems like I always have to update my orders to make sure I don't overpay? Title: Re: How to buy (limit order) on bittrex?

You will only pay the price you set the buy order at. Conditional only means whether the order goes into the book or not. If you place a limit order, that is good till canceled, the order will go into the book now and stay forever until executed. The conditional option is more used for when you do not want to show your intent to sell or buy, but only want to reveal your intentions at a current price.Also this system seems not very flexible, i.e. if I get 1000 NEO for 1 BTC when BTC is 7k today, tomorrow 10k, I don't want to pay 10k for the same 1000 NEO when I put the order. With USD/CAD, this is easy to control. But with BTC it seems like I always have to update my orders to make sure I don't overpay? Welcome to the world of crypto. Forget about fiat currency. BTC is usually the base and you correlate every purchase against it. If BTC goes up and NEO goes down, then you shouldn't have bought NEO. Buy coins which you believe will do better than BTCTitle: Re: How to buy (limit order) on bittrex? Post by: lestat2k7 on November 14, 2017, 09:37:01 AM thx i understand better. i use coinsquare and of course to buy BTC I used cad which is easier to specify than BTC to other currencies.
