Post-only order

A limit order that is cancelled rather than allowed to fill as a taker.

In plain English

It guarantees you are the maker. If your price would cross the book and fill immediately, the venue rejects it instead of charging you the taker fee.

Example

A post-only buy priced above the current ask is rejected, because it would have filled immediately.
