# Scale Orders {% hint style="info" %} Note: all commands operate on the currently viewed instrument only {% endhint %} | Command Text | Description | Example | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **`scale into from to `** | Place \ number of orders of a given total \ between the two prices (order of prices not important). Can also specify to *`reduce`* (see example) |

scale buy 10 into 10 from 31000 to 32000

scale sell 10000$ into 25 from 50000 to 48500 reduce

| | **`scale into from to `** | [Scale Side's](/documentation/limit-tab/scale-side.md) price offset can be mimicked and mixed with other types of figures |

scale buy 1000$ into 10 from -0.25% to -1%

scale sell 1 into 5 from +1% to 32000 reduce

| | **`scale into from to cubic `** | As above, but specifying either **cubic** or **icubic** followed by a **skew** figure between 0.0 and 1.0 to specify how to distribute the orders |

scale buy 20000 into 10 from 31250 to 32000 icubic 1.0

scale buy 10000$ into 30 from 20500 to 20750 cubic 0.25 reduce

| | **`scale into from to cubic cubic `** |

For size distribuition you can add a size skew right after the price skew.

However as the only exception, size skew comes after \

If you only want to use only size distribution, you have to use linear 1 (arbitrary number between 0-1) for price distribution

scale buy 10000 into 10 from 50000 to 49000 cubic 1.0 cubic 0.8

scale sell 1 into 10 from 90000 to 100000 cubic 0.25 reduce cubic 0.5

scale buy 50000 into 10 from 30000 to 29500 linear 1.0 cubic 0.8

| When using **cubic**: * For buy orders: * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range high. * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range low. * For sell orders: * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range low. * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range high. When using **icubic**: * For buy orders: * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range low. * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range high. * For sell orders: * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range high. * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range low. --- # Agent Instructions: 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: ``` GET https://docs.insilicoterminal.com/documentation/terminal-cli/scale-orders.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
