# Max Clip Size

**Max Clip Size** defines the **largest allowable passive (MAKE) order per placement**, controlling **order visibility and execution speed** in the order book.

#### **How It Works**

* **Higher Max Clip Size** – Places **larger individual orders**, leading to **faster execution** but **greater order book visibility**.
* **Lower Max Clip Size** – Places **smaller orders**, reducing **market impact** but potentially **slowing execution**.

#### **Configuration**

* **High Max Clip Size (e.g., $10,000) – Faster Execution**
  * Suitable for **liquid markets** where **large trades can be absorbed without excessive price movement**.
* **Low Max Clip Size (e.g., $1,000 - $5,000) – Lower Market Impact**
  * Suitable for **illiquid assets**, minimizing **order book visibility** to reduce **potential market signaling**.

This setting allows traders to **control order exposure**, balancing **execution speed and market impact** based on liquidity conditions.
