  GDAX limit orders are more suitable for managing risk in cryptocurrency trading. With a limit order, you can set a specific price at which you want to buy or sell a cryptocurrency. This allows you to control the price at which your order is executed, reducing the risk of buying or selling at unfavorable prices. However, the downside is that your order may not be executed if the market price does not reach your specified limit price.

  On the other hand, GDAX stop orders can also be effective for managing risk in cryptocurrency trading. With a stop order, you can set a trigger price at which your order will be executed. This can be useful for limiting losses or protecting profits. For example, you can set a stop order to sell a cryptocurrency if its price drops below a certain level, preventing further losses. However, it's important to note that stop orders can be subject to slippage, which means your order may be executed at a different price than the trigger price.

  At BYDFi, we recommend using a combination of limit and stop orders to manage risk in cryptocurrency trading. By setting both a limit price and a stop price, you can have more control over your trades and minimize potential losses. It's important to carefully consider your risk tolerance and trading strategy when choosing between GDAX limit and stop orders.
