# Strategies

> Use price tracking, conditional triggers, sequential execution or baskets to manage more complex orders.

Strategies give you more control over how an order follows the market, when it starts, and how it trades across one or more markets. Choose a type below for its settings and examples.

## Managing strategies

Chase, conditional orders, OCO, Trailing Stop, Swarm and Trigger Swarm manage execution for you. [TWAP](/trading-on-pacifica/order-types/classic/twap) also uses the **Strategies** tab. Atomic submits ordinary market orders, with each leg shown in **Positions** and **Trade History**.

* **Where to find them.** Open strategies appear in the **Strategies** tab, grouped by type. Resting orders appear in **Open Orders**, and fills appear in **Trade History**.
* **Status.** The table shows whether a strategy is waiting, running, paused or finished. Check its status and filled amount to see what has executed.
* **Cancelling.** Cancel an open strategy from the **Strategies** tab. Cancellation also cancels its resting orders. Trades already filled remain in your account.
* **Slippage.** Market orders placed by these strategies use your **Max Slippage** setting. A trigger or a completed schedule does not guarantee that the full amount fills.
* **Limits.** Each account can have at most 100 open strategies at a time.
* **Reduce Only.** Restricts fills to reducing an existing position. You cannot combine it with an attached **TP/SL**.
