Scaled order distribution: Equal: This type of distribution is the most straightforward. Each order within your total amount receives the same size. The amount distribution is uniform across all price points. You can use [Flat] when you expect the price to fluctuate within the range but have no specific bias towards it moving upwards or downwards.

Increasing: The order size systematically grows as the price escalates. The last order is characterized by the highest price and largest quantity, resulting in more of the asset being traded at a higher price. It's commonly employed to distribute sell orders and elevate the average selling price of the order.

Decreasing: The order size contracts as the price rises, and the order with the highest price will have the smallest quantity. In this case, a greater portion of the asset is traded at lower prices. It's typically used to spread out buy orders and lower the average buy price.

Random: As suggested by its name, this distribution type randomly allocates the size of each order at every price point within a defined range. With a random distribution, you'll need to enter the variance % (up to 10%). If you opt for a variance of 10%, it means the order sizes will be randomly distributed across a range with a 10% variation.
