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.
  • Public docs can explain the workflow without showing private positions or balances.

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

  1. Open a market and ticket

    Select the market, confirm account scope, and open the ticket mode that exposes scaled order controls.

  2. Add ladder levels

    Switch to Custom > Scale, then set the start price, end price, level count, size skew, and spacing skew.

  3. Review total exposure

    Check aggregate notional, collateral impact, reduce-only state, and whether the ladder matches the current market.

  4. 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.

Scaled order review checklist

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.
