{% hint style="info" %}
In the example above, one can see quick previews of the **Maximum Proportion (MP)** and **Weight (W)** parameters used for determining loan health (see [Synthetic Parameters](/how-to-use-butane/butane-basics/synthetic-parameters.md))
{% endhint %}

* Modify collateral amounts to determine a borrowing capacity
* Choose a borrow amount by either entering a specific value or using the LTV slider

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, **Safe Mode** will be enabled, enforcing a minimum health factor on newly created positions for protection against liquidations. This can be disabled in settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, since Butane transactions can contain multiple actions (see the section on **Action Composability** in [The Butane Platform](/introduction/the-butane-platform.md)), this will add a "borrow" action to your transaction cart. If you are only performing a single action and want to save yourself a few clicks, you can turn off action composability in the settings panel, which will then make the button prompt you to submit the borrowing transaction immediately.
