### **Set your position parameters**

In the order panel, configure the following:

1. **Long or Short** — select the direction of your trade
2. **Leverage** — use the slider or type manually to set your leverage. Up to 200× is available on BTC.

⚠️ High leverage carries significant risk. Use it carefully.

3. **Order type** — Market (fills immediately) or Limit (fills at your chosen price)
4. **Position size** — enter the size of your trade in your preferred reference currency

**Set Take Profit and Stop Loss** _(optional)_

* **Take Profit** — your position closes automatically when your target gain is reached
* **Stop Loss** — your position closes automatically to limit losses at a set threshold

Once all parameters are set, click Buy / Long Or Sell / Short to submit your order.
