Limit & Trigger Orders

Jupiter's limit / trigger orders execute a swap automatically when a price condition is met, rather than immediately at market like an Ultra swap.

Two flavors

The docs contrast a classic limit order with a trigger order:

• Limit order — triggers on the pool rate between the two tokens; the output amount is guaranteed (follows pool pricing). Orders below market price aren't supported.
• Trigger order — triggers on the token's USD price or market cap; output is not guaranteed (it prioritizes execution with minimal slippage), but supports "Buy Below" (orders below current market price) — more flexible conditions.

How it works

You set the target (a price/rate or USD/market-cap level), the amount, and an expiry. Jupiter watches and, when the condition is hit, executes the swap through its aggregation routing — so you still get best-price execution at trigger time. Orders rest off the user's hot path until conditions are met.

Use cases

• Buy a dip / take profit without watching charts.
• Enter/exit at a specific USD price or market cap (trigger orders).
• Combine with recurring orders for systematic strategies.

Fees and exact mechanics differ from instant swaps (fees); see trading-on-jupiter to compare instant vs limit vs recurring vs perps.
