#### **5. Review order parameters**

Your order info will be displayed below after you entered all the inputs. Info includes the key parameters like:&#x20;

Review these carefully to avoid mis-operation or unexpected execution results.

And remember set a reasonable **slippage tolerance** in case that market price experiences unexpected spikes during your order execution.
