The key advantage of using Limit Orders is that, you don’t need to monitor your holdings daily. It also allows you to follow your strategy before you open a trade, therefore, minimizing the number 1 enemy of a professional trader — your own emotions.

## Functioning of Limit Orders

👉Limit orders are executed in a decentralized way by liquidation bots that track and close trading positions which satisfy limit order conditions. For example, if a trading position reached a target profit or stop loss percentage, any liquidation bot can call WOW smart-contract and close this position.

💵**Executing limit orders is free for users**, liquidation bot operators pay for gas and don’t get any extra rewards or compensating for closing these positions.
