Guide
Build order ladders with size, price, and account checks visible.
Scaled orders live under Custom > Scale in the order ticket. They let traders plan multiple price levels with start/end prices, level count, size skew, spacing skew, and an optional chart preview, but every level still needs review before submit.
At a glance
- Workflow
- Multi-level Plan entries or exits across several levels instead of one ticket price.
- Review
- Per level Each ladder row should be checked before submit.
- Safety
- Sizing Total notional and reduce-only state matter more than any single row.
Why It Matters
What traders and researchers should take away
- Scaled orders can reduce manual ticket repetition when planning entries or exits.
- A visible ladder makes total exposure easier to review before submit.
- Separate size and spacing controls let you review where orders sit and how much each level allocates.
How it works
What the product uses behind the scenes
- Order ticket behavior lives in the terminal UI and shared funding/order planning helpers.
- Hyperliquid signing and submit flows preserve wallet/account authority boundaries.
- Live order smoke tests validate payload inspection, cancellation, and cleanup for real runs.
Notes
Things to know
- Scaled order examples are illustrative and not suggested trade setups.
- Always review total notional, reduce-only state, and price spacing.
- A demo screenshot should not contain live private account data.
Guide
Steps
- Open a market and ticket
Select the market, confirm account scope, and open the ticket mode that exposes scaled order controls.
- Add ladder levels
Switch to Custom > Scale, then set the start price, end price, level count, size skew, and spacing skew.
- Shape size and spacing separately
Size skew weights the allocation toward the top or bottom of the range. Spacing skew places prices closer to the start or end. Equal resets the distribution; double-click either skew control to return it to zero. Review the resulting per-level quantities rather than relying on the slider alone.
- Inspect and adjust the chart preview
Enable the chart preview. Click its display control to cycle through %, Coin, USD, % + Coin and % + USD. Drag the start or end handle to change a boundary, or drag the range to shift the draft ladder. These preview edits change the draft; they do not submit orders or modify already-live orders.
- Review total exposure
Check aggregate notional, collateral impact, reduce-only state, and whether the ladder matches the current market.
- Submit only after confirmation
Use the final confirmation as the source of truth before placing orders on a live account.
Safety
Before using this workflow
- Confirm whether orders are opening, closing, or reduce-only before submit.
- Use tiny/passive live validation only in smoke tests with cleanup.
- Do not use private positions in documentation screenshots.
Next
Open the workflow
- Open Scaled Ticket Open BTC in the terminal and review ticket controls.

The main risk in scaled orders is missing the aggregate effect.
- Review every generated row and total notional together.
- Check side, reduce-only behavior, price spacing, start/end direction, and whether the chart preview matches the intended range.
- Cancel or adjust stale levels when market context changes materially.
