  A buy to cover stop limit order is a type of order that is placed to buy back a short position at a specific price. It combines the features of a stop order and a limit order. When the stop price is reached, the order is triggered and becomes a limit order. This means that it will only be executed at the specified limit price or better. On the other hand, a regular limit order is an order to buy or sell a cryptocurrency at a specific price or better. It is not triggered by a stop price and does not have the additional functionality of a buy to cover stop limit order.

  In simple terms, a buy to cover stop limit order is used to close a short position by buying back the cryptocurrency at a specific price or better. It provides more control over the execution price compared to a regular limit order. A regular limit order, on the other hand, is used to enter or exit a position at a specific price or better, without the added functionality of a stop price trigger.
