Based on that, set up your trade. It is recommended to open any market Long or Short orders. In the "Pay" field, pick any token and input the amount you want to trade with.

NOTE:
- The minimum size of each order is $2 so you must have at least $2 of the desired assets.
- An amount of $ETH will be deducted from your balance to cover execution fees and price impacts.
- Manage the leverage of your trades properly

For example, I will place a market-long order on ARB/USD market, paying 2.1 $USDC with 0.1 leverage. An amount of $ETH that is worth $6.54 or less will be deducted from my account.

After checking carefully, I clicked the blue "Long ARB" button. GMX will let you review your trade setup. If everything is correct, scroll down and click on "Acknowledge high Price Impact" and "Allow <token> to be sent".
