# Buying OM Tokens OM tokens can be purchased via the OM pools page. When buying, the price impact is determined by the effect of your purchase on the pool's balance. To minimize negative price impact, you can opt to buy the OM token using an equal USD amount of long and short tokens. Steps: * Select the "Market" and "Pool" of the OM token you'd like to purchase in the "Buy OM" box * There will be a positive or negative price impact depending on whether your purchase improves or reduces the balance of tokens in the pool * The price impact will be shown in the "Buy OM" box * If the pool is mostly balanced, a large purchase may result in a large negative price impact, to avoid this, select the "Pair" option and buy the OM token with an equal USD amount of long token and short token --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
