# Order Override¶

This feature allows users to customize and specify how Hummingbot creates orders in terms of order levels, spread, and size.

## order_override¶

The user provides orders to override the orders placed by the order_amount and order_level parameters directly.

## How it works¶

Since this is a feature designed for advanced users, it is not configurable from the Hummingbot client. Instead, follow the steps below to set up the order_override parameter:

1. Edit the strategy config file located in the Hummingbot conf folder using a text editor.
See Where are my config and log files? in the FAQ page for more information.
2. The input should be in a dictionary format, and the key is user-defined.
Make sure there is a space between the colon ( : ) and open bracket ( [ ) as shown in the Sample Configuration then save your changes.
3. For the changes to take effect, perform any of the following:
4. Run stop command, import the config file again, and then start
5. Run exit command and restart Hummingbot

While order_override is in effect, it supersedes existing values of bid_spread, ask_spread, order_amount and order_levels.

## Sample configuration¶

order_override:
order_1: [sell, 2.5, 5]
order_2: [sell, 1.5, 10]

Using the sample input above for order_override, Hummingbot creates the following orders:
