#### Sell price with Orderbook enabled
When selling with the orderbook enabled (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `ask_strategy.order_book_max` entries in the orderbook. Then each of the orderbook steps between `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` on the configured orderbook side are validated for a profitable sell-possibility based on the strategy configuration (`minimal_roi` conditions) and the sell order is placed at the first profitable spot.
When selling with the orderbook enabled (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `ask_strategy.order_book_top` entries in the orderbook and uses the entry specified as `ask_strategy.order_book_top` from the configured side (`ask_strategy.price_side`) as selling price.
!!! Note
Using `order_book_max` higher than `order_book_min` only makes sense when ask_strategy.price_side is set to `"ask"`.
The idea here is to place the sell order early, to be ahead in the queue.
A fixed slot (mirroring `bid_strategy.order_book_top`) can be defined by setting `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` to the same number.
!!! Warning "Order_book_max > 1 - increased risks for stoplosses!"
Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will increase the risk the stoploss on exchange is cancelled too early, since an eventual [stoploss on exchange](#understand-order_types) will be cancelled as soon as the order is placed.
Also, the sell order will remain on the exchange for `unfilledtimeout.sell` (or until it's filled) - which can lead to missed stoplosses (with or without using stoploss on exchange).
!!! Warning "Order_book_max > 1 in dry-run"
Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will result in improper dry-run results (significantly better than real orders executed on exchange), since dry-run assumes orders to be filled almost instantly.
It is therefore advised to not use this setting for dry-runs.
1 specifies the topmost entry in the orderbook, while 2 would use the 2nd entry in the orderbook, and so on.
