 | 7. | Push to size | you can specify trade volume (incoming raw hits) you want to reach for this trade using ''Push to size'' parameter. If ''Push to size'' parameter is not equal to ''0'' and incoming raws are smaller than the value set, return algo will use ''Push ratio'' instead of normal ratio to extra push the trade.

 ==== Capping ====
+This is an advanced feature, useful only for webmasters with very specific requirements. Capping can have a huge impact on the outgoing traffic distribution and if not set properly, traffic on your site could decrease. You should only enable capping (any type), if you have a very good reason for that.

-| '' Min size'': | if trade size (Raws or Clk TG) is smaller than "min size" set, trade will be suspended. For obvious reason, trade has to be in the database for at least 24 hours to become a candidate for this cap type. If you reset the trade, it will again take 24 hours before this cap type is in effect. Enter ''0'' to disable this cap type. |
-| ''Max out size'': | if outgoing traffic for a trade is greater than "max out size" set, trade will be suspended until outgoing traffic will decrease below "Max out size". For obvious reason, trade has to be in the database for at least 24 hours to become a candidate for this cap type. If you reset the trade, it will again take 24 hours before this cap type is in effect. Enter ''0'' to disable this cap type. |
-| ''Max out ratio'': | if outgoing ratio (based on Raw or Clk T) is larger than "max out ratio" set, trade will be suspended (Ratio raw = Out T / Raw, Ratio Clk T = Out T / Clk T). Enter ''0.00'' to disable this feature. | \\
