# Simple Mode

Simple Mode is designed for traders who want to act fast. Set your size, pick your leverage, and tap UP or DOWN — that's it.

### **Go to the PCS Perps page**

Head to [pancakeswap.finance/perps](https://pancakeswap.finance/perps) or click Perps in the main PancakeSwap navigation bar.

### **My Bet — Position Size**

Enter how much you want to put in, or tap the preset buttons — **25%**, **50%**, or **MAX** — to size your position as a portion of your available perp fund balance.

### **Leverage**

Use the slider or tap a preset — **50×**, **100×**, **150×**, or **200×** — to set your leverage. Your current multiplier is shown in large text above the slider.

When leverage is high enough to carry meaningful liquidation risk, an **Amplified Risk** indicator appears as a reminder.

### **One tap to open**

Tap **UP** to go long, or **DOWN** to go short. Your position opens immediately at the best available market price.

### **Tapping multiple times**

Simple Mode is designed to let you build or reduce your position with repeated taps — no need to manually adjust size each time.

* **Tap UP twice** — your position doubles. Each tap adds one unit to your existing long.
* **Tap UP then DOWN** — the positions cancel out, returning you to flat.

Think of each tap as adding or subtracting one unit in a direction. It's a fun way to scale in or out of a trade.

### **Check your order status**

Your order will appear under **Positions** while it waits to be filled.
