# Chase orders

Chase order form for maker-only orders that follow the best bid or ask.

Chase orders repeatedly place maker-only orders near the best bid or ask until the order fills, is stopped, or reaches its distance limit. Use Chase when you want faster passive execution than a static limit order, while still enforcing ALO maker-only behavior. ## How it works Proliquid places a maker-only order near the current best bid or ask. If the market moves away, the order can be replaced closer to the new best price. This continues until the order fills, you cancel it, or the configured limit is reached. ## Controls

Control	Meaning
Quantity / Notional	Total size you want the chase to fill.
Side	LONG chases bids, SHORT chases asks.
Distance limit	Maximum price distance the chase is allowed to follow, or infinite if you do not set a cap.
Reduce only	Use when the chase should only reduce an existing position.

## What to monitor Active chases appear in [Open chases](/terminal-sections/open-chases.md), where you can stop them. Related resting orders may also appear in [Open orders](/terminal-sections/open-orders.md). > Chase can improve maker-fill chances, but it is not guaranteed to fill. In fast markets, maker-only orders can keep missing if price moves before the order rests. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
