Placing a Buy or Sell Order

Updated

Introduction

This article explains how to place buy and sell orders on the Heshket exchange using the spot trading interface.
Heshket provides a professional trading experience similar to Binance and supports advanced order types such as TP/SL and Iceberg orders.

Step 1: Log in to Your Heshket Account

  1. Go to heshket.io and log in to your account.

  2. Make sure your account is fully verified (KYC) to access trading features.

  3. Ensure you have sufficient balance in your spot wallet.

Step 2: Open the Spot Trading Page

  1. From the main menu, select Trade → Spot.

  2. The trading interface will open, displaying:

    • Price chart

    • Order book

    • Buy / Sell panel

    • Open orders and order history

Step 3: Select a Trading Pair

  1. Use the search bar to find a trading pair (for example, BTC/USDT).

  2. Click on the desired pair.

  3. Market data and the order book will update automatically.

Step 4: Choose Order Type

Heshket supports the following order types:

TP/SL Order (Take Profit / Stop Loss)

A TP/SL order allows you to automatically close a position when the price reaches a predefined level — either to lock in profit or limit losses.

Iceberg Order

An Iceberg order splits a large order into multiple smaller visible orders, reducing market impact and helping maintain price stability.

Step 5: Placing a TP/SL Buy or Sell Order

  1. In the trading panel, select TP/SL.

  2. Choose Buy or Sell.

  3. Enter:

    • Trigger Price – the price at which the order is activated

    • Order Price – the execution price

    • Amount – quantity to buy or sell

  4. Review the estimated total.

  5. Click Buy or Sell to confirm.

Once the trigger price is reached, the system automatically places the order on your behalf.

Step 6: Placing an Iceberg Order

  1. Select Iceberg in the order type section.

  2. Choose Buy or Sell.

  3. Enter:

    • Total Order Size – full amount you want to trade

    • Visible Amount – portion shown in the order book

    • Order Price

  4. Confirm the order.

The exchange will gradually place small visible orders until the full amount is executed.

Step 7: Monitor Your Orders

  1. Scroll down to Open Orders to see active orders.

  2. You can:

    • Track execution progress

    • Cancel any open order

  3. Completed orders appear in Order History.

Order Status Overview

  • Open — order is active and waiting

  • Partially Filled — part of the order has been executed

  • Filled — order completed successfully

  • Cancelled — order cancelled by the user
