# How do I take a position on an existing offer?

1. Browse active offers and open one.
2. Choose your side -- **long** (rate up) or **short** (rate down).
3. Confirm. You **match the offer's staked amount**, which is locked in escrow, and your position is active.

You can't pick an arbitrary amount -- engaging an offer means matching the stake the creator set.
