# Simple Mode
Simple Mode is designed for traders who want to act fast. Set your size, pick your leverage, and tap UP or DOWN — that's it.
### **Go to the PCS Perps page**
Head to [pancakeswap.finance/perps](https://pancakeswap.finance/perps) or click Perps in the main PancakeSwap navigation bar.
### **Connect your wallet**
Click Connect Wallet in the top right corner. No account creation or KYC required — your wallet is your account.
### **Choose a trading pair**
Click on the pair name at the top of the page to open the asset selector. A huge variety of token pairs are available.
### **My Bet — Position Size**
Enter how much you want to put in, or tap the preset buttons — **25%**, **50%**, or **MAX** — to size your position as a portion of your available perp fund balance.
### **Leverage**
Use the slider or tap a preset — **50×**, **100×**, **150×**, or **200×** — to set your leverage. Your current multiplier is shown in large text above the slider.
When leverage is high enough to carry meaningful liquidation risk, an **Amplified Risk** indicator appears as a reminder.
### **One tap to open**
Tap **UP** to go long, or **DOWN** to go short. Your position opens immediately at the best available market price.
### **Tapping multiple times**
Simple Mode is designed to let you build or reduce your position with repeated taps — no need to manually adjust size each time.
* **Tap UP twice** — your position doubles. Each tap adds one unit to your existing long.
* **Tap UP then DOWN** — the positions cancel out, returning you to flat.
Think of each tap as adding or subtracting one unit in a direction. It's a fun way to scale in or out of a trade.
### **Check your order status**
Your order will appear under **Positions** while it waits to be filled.

💡 Want to set limit orders, TP/SL, or manage positions in more detail? Switch to **Pro Mode** at any time — your open positions are not affected.
