# How to Place a Limit Buy Order in Predict?

A limit buy order in ELLIPAL Predict lets you set your own shares and price — the order stays open until the market reaches your target price and the order is filled. Select an event, enter your shares and price, sign the transaction with your Titan 2.0 or X Card, and check the result in Open Orders.

***

### Before You Start

* ELLIPAL App installed on iOS or Android
* Trading already enabled in Predict (see [How to Enable Trading in Predict](https://app.gitbook.com/s/rfIWENBmR9S66qnWd68o/features/predict/how-to-enable-trading-in-predict))
* Sufficient available balance in your Predict account
* Your ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 or X Card, powered on and connected to the app
