The order will only be executed when the token price reaches your set price. 4. **Enter Amount**: * In the **Available Balance** section, you will see the amount of funds you have available for trading (e.g., **3.291 USDC**). * Enter the amount of funds you wish to use for the trade. You can select the percentage of your available balance by adjusting the slider (from **1%** to **100%**). 5. **Leverage Settings**: * **Max Account Leverage**: FlashX offers leverage options (e.g., **5.38x / 10x**).
