A custom order allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrency (crypto) at a specific price or better using your USD balance.
Custom order buy: Set a price below the market price that you’d like to buy your crypto at; once the asset hits the price you set, your buy will process.
Custom order sell: Set a price above the market price that you’d like to sell any crypto at; once the asset hits the price you’ve set, your sell will process.
Coinbase charges a standard fee for custom orders which is determined by a combination of factors, such as the size of the order and market conditions, including volatility and liquidity. Your order may also fill for a better price than shown, in which case we would release any applicable fund differences to your account.
