Limit Orders

Limit orders execute at your specified trigger price.

They stay active on-chain until filled, cancelled, or expired.

FatCat places limit orders on Jupiter’s limit order book.

Before you start

• Verify the token mint address from a trusted source.

• Keep extra SOL for network fees.

• Expect the market to move. A fill is never guaranteed.

What you can do

• Buy: swap SOL → token when your trigger price hits.

• Sell: swap token → SOL when your trigger price hits.

Where to find it

You’ll see Limit Order inside the normal buy/sell flows.

You can manage your orders from the bot’s Main Menu.

Fees

Limit orders include FatCat fees and Jupiter program fees.

• FatCat fee: 1% (charged upfront when you place the order)

• Jupiter fee: 0.1% (charged only if the order fills)

• Solana network fees: paid for the on-chain transactions

For the full breakdown, see Fee Structure.

How execution works

When you place a limit order:

• An on-chain order account is created for your wallet.

• Funds are escrowed in Jupiter’s limit order program for that order.

• Keeper services watch the chain for fill conditions.

• When your price is reachable, a keeper submits the fill transaction.

• Fill behavior depends on available liquidity at your price.

Create a limit order

Setting a limit order (in FatCat Bot)

1. Start a buy or sell flow.

2. Tap the Limit Order button.

3. Enter your target limit price.

4. Confirm, then review and approve.

What happens after you confirm

• Order lifetime: active until filled or cancelled.

• Funds custody: funds are held in a program-owned vault for the order.

• Fill behavior: depends on available on-chain liquidity at your price.

• Settlement: when filled, output assets go to your wallet.

Troubleshooting

If an order looks “stuck”, it’s usually one of these:

• Price never reaches your target on-chain.

• Liquidity is too thin at your target price.

• Price moves through your target too quickly.

Fast markets can skip your level. A fill is never guaranteed.
