# Positions

{% hint style="info" %}
**About:** Members can set/specify the amount to spend on every pair's open position.
{% endhint %}

Initially, this process has to be conducted manually from one of our operators, but the goal is to enable the Telegram bot to perform such operations by members automatically.

### Step 1

Set the desired margin mode and leverage.

### Step 2

Adjust the size amount of the working pair, just below the sliding bar you will notice the "**buy amount**" which is the value you have to share with the team for every working pair (**your position will be opened based on this number**), and below you will find the amount of USDT related to that position size.

### Step 3

Go to our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/ba_futures) and send the **buy amount** to the bot using the following command:

/update\_user\_working\_pair PAIR AMOUNT

**Example:**

/update\_user\_working\_pair ETH/USDT 0.2

### Step 4

Go to our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/ba_futures) and send the **leverage** to the bot using the following command:

/update\_user\_working\_pair\_leverage PAIR LEVERAGE

**Example:**

/update\_user\_working\_pair\_leverage ETH/USDT 20

### Considerations

If no amount and leverage is defined manually by the user, the bot will open up new positions using 20x leverage and 5% of the available account funds.

In order for the bot commands to work, user must be enrolled in the Black Arrow futures trading platform.
