This page describes how the product works. It is not financial, legal, or trading advice, and it is not a promise of results. Trading can lose money. Orders run on your own exchange account.
One amount, split into limit orders across a channel you draw.
A scaled order splits one total amount into limit orders spaced through a price range. You draw that range on the chart. The workstation places the ladder on your exchange account.
The range is a parallel channel: a trendline and a second line offset from it. Prices are spaced evenly between those two edges. The first order sits on one edge and the last sits on the other.

Each step of the ladder is a limit order on the exchange order book. The ladder is those orders. It is not a market order sent when price touches a line.
If the channel sits below the current price, the orders are buys. If it sits above the current price, they are sells. Your API keys send them. Scaled Orders does not hold the funds.
On the chart, draw the parallel channel. The two lines are the top and bottom of the ladder.
Enter the total amount and how many orders to use. The count runs from 2 to 100. The amount is split across those orders.
Clicking Place Orders sends one limit order per step to the exchange you connected.
A flat channel is placed once. If the channel slopes, open orders are amended as it moves. That job is auto-scale. Read more about auto-scale.

On the scaled-order panel, Cancel All or Stop cancels orders that are still open. Filled orders stay filled.
