Setting up a Limit Order plan on Jupiter is quick, simple, and designed to help you efficiently set up orders for your desired price levels to execute your strategy.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet​

Before anything else, you’ll need to connect your wallet to Jupiter.

  1. Visit the Jupiter Limit Order page.
  2. Double-check that the URL is correct at https://jup.ag/limit and "Limit” Tab is selected.
  3. Click on the “Connect Wallet” button at the top right or use one of the other "Connect Wallet" buttons on the dashboard: Select your preferred wallet from the list (e.g., Phantom, Solflare, or any other supported wallet).
  4. Approve the connection request in your wallet.

Step 3: Set Your Limit Order​

  1. Enter the amount of the token you are selling.
  2. Enter the rate at which you want to buy/sell. This is the price at which the order will get executed at.
    tip

    Jupiter will calculate how many tokens you will get based on the input token amount and rate entered, shown in the "You're Buying" field.

  3. Optional: Choose the Expiry of your order. This option lets you select the maximum period for which your order remains active.
    tip

    It can be 10 minutes or by default it is set to never expire. The expiry option ensures that if the order is not executed in your specific time then it will cancel.

Step 4: Review and Place Limit Order​

Before placing the order, double-check the details:

  1. The amount to sell.
  2. The rate at which you buy/sell, important to always check.
  3. The expiry, if necessary.

Have a look at the Limit Order Summary thoroughly. If everything looks good, click on the “Place Limit Order” button.
