# Pro Mode

### **Set your position parameters**

In the order panel, configure the following:

1. **Long or Short** — select the direction of your trade
2. **Leverage** — use the slider or type manually to set your leverage. Up to 200× is available on BTC.

⚠️ High leverage carries significant risk. Use it carefully.

3. **Order type** — Market (fills immediately) or Limit (fills at your chosen price)
4. **Position size** — enter the size of your trade in your preferred reference currency

**Set Take Profit and Stop Loss** *(optional)*

* **Take Profit** — your position closes automatically when your target gain is reached
* **Stop Loss** — your position closes automatically to limit losses at a set threshold

Once all parameters are set, click Buy / Long Or Sell / Short to submit your order.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/trade/perpetual-trading/perpetuals-trading-new/pro-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
