# Creating Scale Orders

## Scale Orders

Scale orders are a range of limit orders between a starting and ending price.  You can specify how many orders you want and the size distribution of each order through the Size Skew.

## Size Skew

Size Skew is the ratio between end and start price.

Examples:

* Size skew of 1 —  All orders are same size.
* Size skew of 2 — Ending price order is 2x starting price order.
* Size skew of 0.5 — Ending price order is 1/2 starting price order.

## Example

1. The order above specifies a buy order from 2657.147 to 2662.467
2. The user wants to place 3 orders
3. Size skew = 2, so ending order will be twice the size of the starting order

This results in the following orders being created:<br>

1. 3 orders are created
2. The order range is between $2657.15 to $2662.47
3. Size Skew of 2 created an ending order that is twice the size of the starting order (4 USDC vs 2 USDC)
