FAQ

What is a Custom price order?

A Custom price order allows you to automatically buy Bitcoin at a price you set. Set a buy price below the current price to try to buy Bitcoin when the price drops.

How does a Bitcoin limit order work?

In the 21bitcoin app, you set your target Bitcoin price and the purchase amount. The required euro amount is then reserved for the order. If Bitcoin reaches your target price, the purchase is triggered automatically. If the target price is not reached, no purchase takes place.

What is the difference between a limit order and an instant buy?

With an instant buy, you purchase Bitcoin at the currently available price. With a limit order, you set a target price in advance, and the purchase is only triggered once that price is reached.

Do I need to deposit euros before I create a limit order?

Yes. The required euro amount must be available in your 21bitcoin account so that it can be reserved for your limit order.

What happens to my euros while the limit order is active?

The amount required for the limit order is reserved and will not be available for other purchases. You can continue to use your remaining euro balance flexibly. You can, of course, cancel your open Bitcoin limit order at any time.

Can I create multiple Bitcoin limit orders at the same time?

Yes. You can create multiple limit orders with different target prices and purchase amounts. Each order is executed independently as soon as its respective target price is reached.

How long does a limit order remain active?
  • You can set how long your limit order should remain active. Currently, an order can remain active for up to 30 days .
  • Can I cancel a limit order?

    Yes. As long as your limit order has not yet been executed, you can cancel it. The euro amount reserved for it will then become available again.

    What happens if my target price is not reached?

    If your target price is not reached within the selected timeframe, no Bitcoin purchase will be executed. The reserved euro amount will then be available for you to use again.

    Is Bitcoin guaranteed to be purchased at exactly my target price?

    No. Reaching your target price triggers the automatic execution of the purchase, but it does not guarantee an identical execution price.
