Swap, Limit & DCA

AseDex exchange

Swap, Limit & DCA

Three ways to trade a pair. Swap for instant trades, Limit for a target price, and DCA to spread a big trade over time.

Swap

The instant option. Pick how much to trade, choose a slippage preset, and confirm. Slippage is simply how much price movement you are willing to accept before the trade goes through. If the price slips past it, the trade cancels itself and your funds never move.

Limit orders

Set the price you want and the contract holds your funds until the pool reaches it. When the price touches your target the order fills at exactly that rate. Until then you can cancel anytime and get your funds back instantly.

DCA

Dollar cost averaging for the impatient. You lock in a total amount, split it into slices, and the contract buys or sells one slice at each interval. Great for building a position without guessing the perfect moment. DCA is available on AseDex pairs only.

Order rules

  • Each pair keeps its own order book with room for up to 256 open orders.
  • Each wallet can have up to 32 open orders at once.
  • The smallest order needs to be worth at least 0.25 ASE.
  • Orders fill automatically as the pool price crosses them. Every swap on the pool helps clear the book.
