Custom Orders
Custom Bitcoin Orders allow you to automatically buy or sell Bitcoin at your selected price if it hits your selected price. For example - if Bitcoin is trading at $40,000 but you think it is too expensive, you can set up a Custom Purchase Order to buy if the price drops to $30,000.

Important things to note
Custom Bitcoin Orders will execute at the price you set if your selected price is reached (i.e. when Bitcoin trades at or through the price selected).
Funds for Custom Purchase Orders will be pulled from your Cash App Balance at the time the order is placed. If your Custom Purchase Order is canceled or expires, the funds will be returned to your Cash App balance.
Under certain circumstances, we may need to cancel your outstanding custom orders at any time if necessary with respect to fraud or risk factors, or as otherwise needed as determined at our sole discretion.
