Digital Surge offers a range of order types to help you trade efficiently and with confidence. This guide explains how each option works so you can choose the one that best suits your trading style or strategy.
Instant orders
Instant orders let you buy or sell cryptocurrency immediately at the current market price. This is the fastest and simplest way to trade.
Key features
Maximum order size: up to $100,000 AUD per transaction (depending on the asset)
Unlimited usage: place as many instant orders as you like
Benefits
Fast execution: your order is filled instantly
Easy to use: ideal for beginners and quick decisions
How they work
Digital Surge uses smart order routing to source the best available price across multiple liquidity providers. This means you don’t need to compare exchanges manually—your order is routed automatically for the best outcome at the time of execution.
Trigger orders
Trigger orders allow you to choose the exact price at which you want to buy or sell an asset. When the market price reaches your trigger, the system automatically places a market order for you.
Key features
Funds are not locked: your AUD or crypto remains available until the trigger activates
Multiple strategies: set several buy or sell triggers at once
Execution depends on available funds: if your balance is insufficient when the trigger is hit, the order will not fill
Benefits
Automated execution: ideal for taking profits, limiting losses or entering the market at a preferred price
Email notifications: you’ll be notified when your order executes
How they work
When the asset reaches your trigger price, Digital Surge places a market order through its smart routing system
The final price may vary slightly due to market volatility and liquidity
Example
BTC price: $60,000 AUD
Your balance: $55,000 AUD and 0 BTC
You set:
A buy trigger for 1 BTC at $55,000
A sell trigger for 1 BTC at $65,000
If the price drops to $55,000 and later rises to $65,000, both trades execute automatically—no manual action required.
Important notes
You can create multiple trigger orders without locking any funds
Fees apply only to successful trades, not untriggered or unfilled orders
Recurring buys
Recurring buys (also known as Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA) let you automatically purchase cryptocurrency at regular intervals.
Key features
Choose the asset, amount and frequency
Orders run automatically at your scheduled time
Benefits
Reduces timing risk: spreads purchases over time
Hands-off investing: build your portfolio consistently with automated orders
How they work
Set your preferred crypto, purchase amount and schedule
Ensure you have sufficient AUD in your account before each recurring buy
Tip:
Set up a recurring bank deposit 24 to 48 hours before your scheduled buy to ensure your AUD balance is topped up in time.
