# Spot Trading

***

### Overview

Spot trading is the default mode. You buy and sell tokens directly on-chain. You can also automate entries and exits with advanced order types.

***

### What you can do

* Market and limit spot orders
* DCA and TWAP execution for larger trades
* Cross-chain swaps in one command (swap + bridge + swap)
* Transfers, portfolio views, and wallet/KOL tracking

***

### Example prompts

```
Buy $500 of TOKEN on CHAIN
Sell 50% of my TOKEN on CHAIN
Set a limit buy for $1000 of TOKEN at $X on CHAIN
DCA $2000 into TOKEN on CHAIN over 14 days
TWAP sell $25,000 of TOKEN on CHAIN over 2 hours
Convert $500 of TOKEN on CHAIN_A to TOKEN_B on CHAIN_B
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Always specify the chain when you can. Cross-chain routes can take minutes and prices move.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.boba.xyz/agents/boba-agents/core-capabilities/spot-trading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
