Scale orders create a ladder of GTC limit orders across a price range. Use them when you want to enter or exit progressively instead of placing one large limit order.

## Price range

Select a from price and to price. Click into either price input to activate click-on-chart mode, then choose the level directly from the [Chart](/terminal-sections/chart.md).

Proliquid previews the ladder on chart, including each order level and the estimated average fill price if the full ladder fills.

## Skew controls

<table><thead><tr><th width="133.375">Control</th><th>What it changes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Price skew</td><td>Groups orders closer to one side of the range or spreads them more evenly.</td></tr><tr><td>Size skew</td><td>Allocates more size toward the start or end of the ladder.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Example flow

1. Choose the market in [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md).
2. Select Scale in the [Trade form](/terminal-sections/trade-form.md).
3. Set the total size, order count, from price, and to price.
4. Adjust price skew and size skew if you want a non-linear ladder.
5. Review the chart preview and average fill.
6. Submit, then monitor each resting order in [Open orders](/terminal-sections/open-orders.md).

> Scale orders are useful for planned entries, but every child order is still a limit order. If price moves away from the range, some or all orders may remain unfilled.
