# Autoscale with a Skew

You can enter a trade gradually using automated limit order layering tools that allow you to input a skew. In the most simplest terms, a skew of 2 means your limit furthest away from market price will be 2x the size of your limit closest to it. This can both optimize your entry while preventing price-chasing behavior from single orders not being filled. We recommend [Insilico Terminal](https://x.com/InsilicoTrading) for this functionality.
