# Price Step Filter

The "Price Step" filter allows the algorithm to place orders only if the price step (as an absolute percentage of the current price) is within the specified range.

### How to Use

Specify the price step range in percentages from minimum to maximum value.

**How it works:** The algorithm checks whether the trading pair's price step falls within the specified range. If yes — orders are placed, if no — the pair is excluded from trading.

**Example:** If you set a range from 0% to 0.25%, the algorithm will only work on pairs where the minimum price change is no more than 0.25% of the current price.

### What is Price Step

**Price Step** is the minimum possible price change for an instrument on the exchange. It determines how much the price can change between two orders.

**Why this is important:** To avoid trading on low-volatility coins, use a small price step.

### Application

Enable the filter and set the range. The algorithm will only work with pairs whose price step meets your requirements.
