# How to use Tokenlon’s limit order

What if the market is trending downward, and you want to buy ETH with USDT?  You want to swap for ETH when the price drops to $1,400, the order expiration is also set to 7 days. This time the trade  is set up as follows:

* Trade direction: USDT to WETH
* Enter the amount of  USDT you want to sell, for example, 1,400 USDT
* Limit price: 1 WETH = 1400 USDT, which is 6.72% higher than the USDT market price
* Expires in: 7 days

Assuming you want to swap ETH for USDT when it rises to $1,600 and the order expiration is 7 days. i.e. After 7 days, if the limit price is not reached, the order will be invalid. Your limit order will look like this:

* Trade direction: WETH to USDT
* Enter the amount of  WETH you want to sell, for example, 1 WETH
* Limit price: 1 WETH = 1600 USDT, which is 6.72% higher than the ETH market price
* Expires in: 7 days
* The system will automatically calculate the amount of  USDT you will receive based on the ETH amount you entered

**Notes**

* You have to wrap ETH to WETH first and then place a limit order via WETH. You cannot place a limit order using ETH,  find out more [details](https://support.tokenlon.im/hc/en-us/articles/10471967656212).
* You only need to authorize a token once when you swap or place a limit order on Tokenlon. At the same time, please ensure that there is a small amount of ETH balance in the wallet to pay the gas fees to authorize the token.
