Fund Locking:
- Buy orders: Locks the funding amount immediately
- Sell orders: Locks the crypto assets designated for sale
- No Expiration: Orders remain active until execution or manual cancellation
- Non-cancelable: Completed orders cannot be reversed

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between market and target price orders?
Market orders execute immediately at current prices, while target orders wait for your specified price point before executing.
Can I modify an active target price order?
No. You must cancel the existing order and create a new one with updated parameters.
Are there fees for target price orders?
The fee structure matches regular trades—check Crypto.com's latest fee schedule for details.
What happens if the market never reaches my target price?
Your order remains open indefinitely until either the price hits your target or you manually cancel it.
How long does fund locking last?
Funds stay locked until order completion or cancellation, after which they immediately become available.
Optimizing Your Trading Strategy
Target Price Orders work best when:
- You identify clear support/resistance levels
- Market volatility presents buying/selling opportunities
- You can't monitor prices continuously
