# Create an order

Orders are divided into two parts: buy and sell orders. Their operation is broadly similar. Buy orders are instructions to buy under certain conditions, while sell orders are instructions to sell under certain conditions.

To create a buy order, simply click on the New Buy Order button <img src="https://1616862119-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVrXrwbzdXe3320u9fD1%2Fuploads%2FirU3uuoeRHRkNtSorKk1%2FScreenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2019.52.07.png?alt=media&#x26;token=92e8e396-aa4f-4cf0-a085-a45f8cc0a6d1" alt="" data-size="line">, and to create a sell order, simply click on the New Sell Order button <img src="https://1616862119-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVrXrwbzdXe3320u9fD1%2Fuploads%2FQDVFRg5j2z1IrdaE4rVR%2FScreenshot%202024-01-10%20at%2019.52.17.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8dbdd652-bf63-4ae7-86a7-4d00858c622c" alt="" data-size="line">.&#x20;

Once the order has been created, you can configure and activate it. You can modify or delete any of these tasks at any time by clicking on the List Order button on the Order dashboard. We discuss the order parameters [here](https://aura-3.gitbook.io/aura/friend-tech/limit-orders/parameters).
