# Setting buy price

When you select Menu -> Setting buy price, the submenu opens with items for selecting the level of setting the Buy order price: Use 30-secs old ASK price and Use current ASK price.

The terminal constantly analyzes prices, and you can choose from which price the Purchase order will be calculated:

- Use 30-secs old ASK price : when calculating the price from which the Buy order will be placed, the minimum ASK price for the last 30 seconds will be used, taking into account the value of the slider Buy for [price before pump started] ± XX% (adjustable from -25% to +50%).

The Use 30-secs old ASK price option is commonly used, as it helps avoid buying at the peak price when participating in pump trades.
