# Creating buy orders

## How do users create buy orders in AutoBoy?

AutoBoy lets users create a buy order for a project's future token.

These buy orders **will be automatically executed when the token launches**.

### Order Parameters

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set the amount">
    How much USDC you want to **spend** on the token. [Spend (USDC)](/spend);
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the max price">
    The **Max Price** (measured in MCap) you’re willing to pay. [Max Price (MCap)](/setting-max-price);
  </Step>

  <Step title="When should the order expire">
    How long *after* launch the order **remains valid** for. [Order expiry](/order-validity).
  </Step>
</Steps>

AutoBoy will then prompt you to deposit USDC to your AutoBoy wallet if you haven't already. (see '[Funding your wallet](/wallets-and-funds)')

***

## What happens when a project launches?

Assuming you have USDC in [your AutoBoy wallet](/wallets-and-funds) - AutoBoy will automatically attempt your buy based on the order parameters you set.

Your buy order won’t be executed until/unless these parameters are met.
