Choose your leverage level (starting from **1.1×**).\
Each market has a different maximum leverage depending on current lending conditions.

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

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

* **Entry Price**
* **Estimated Liquidation Price**

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.

#### **8. Monitor position health**

Keep an eye on your **Current LTV** and **Liquidation LTV**.\
If the Liquidation LTV is reached, your position may be liquidated at any time.

If your LTV approaches the liquidation threshold, you can:

* Reduce leverage
* Partially repay debt

All actions are available under **Manage**.
