The pills reflect an amount, quantity or target price you can place with a single tap, based on your free funds or your position.
How do the buy pills work?
When buying, the pills show amounts based on your free funds in the selected currency.
Clicking on an amount, pre-fills a value order with that amount. Clicking on MAX, pre-fills a value order with the maximum amount available for that order type in the selected currency.
💡 Example
You have €1,000 in free funds.
- Tap €100 → We pre-fill a value order for €100.
- Tap MAX → We pre-fill a value order for €1,000, your available free funds.
The maximum amount available depends on the order type. For same-currency Limit Buy orders priced at or below the market price, MAX can use up to 100% of your free funds, since the limit price caps your maximum spend.
📄 Note
For Stop and Stop-Limit buy orders, and any orders involving currency conversion, Max may use up to 95% of your free funds, keeping a small buffer to protect against price movement between order entry and execution. For Market orders and Limit orders without currency conversions, Max can use up to 100% of your free funds.
How do the sell pills work?
When selling, the pills are based on the quantity available to sell:
- 25% → pre-fills a quantity order to sell 25% of your available shares
- 50% → pre-fills 50% of your available shares
- 75% → pre-fills 75% of your available shares
- 100% → pre-fills your full available quantity to close your entire position
💡 Example
You have 80 shares available to sell:
- 50% → we prefill 40 shares to sell.
- 100% → we prefill 80 shares (full close).
📄 Note
Using the pills automatically rounds the number of shares to the maximum possible decimals for the order. Therefore, it is possible that the pre-filled quantity is not exactly equal to the percentage you selected.
How do the pills work on the target price screen?
When setting a target price for a Limit, Stop or Stop-limit order, the pills allow you to set a price as a percentage distance from the current market price:
- Limit Buy / Stop Sell → -1%, -2%, -5%, -10% (below the current price)
- Limit Sell / Stop Buy → +1%, +2%, +5%, +10% (above the current price)
💡 Example
A stock is currently trading at $100. On the limit buy screen, tapping -5% pre-fills a limit price of $95.
📄 Note
Once you click on save on the target price screen, the price is calculated and saved as a fixed limit or stop price. If the market price changes after saving, the percentage difference of your limit or stop price can differ from what you selected on the target price screen.
Why don't I always see the same amounts?
The buy pill amounts depend on your free funds and the currency of the selected wallet. As your balance changes, the pills adjust so they stay relevant.
Can I use the pills for all order types?
You can use the pills for all order types including limit, stop and stop-limit orders.
For limit, stop and stop-limit buy orders, if you select a pill, we will calculate the estimated quantity based on the target prices you set and the current market price. If the prices change after selecting the pill, the expected quantity may change. You can tap the pill again to recalculate.
For Sell orders, the pills are always based on your available sell quantity.
