Swap Configuration

Learn what each setting on the swap page does.

What is swap?

Swap is the most direct way to place a manual trade. You first search for the target token, confirm the pool information, then choose buy or sell, fill in the size and trading parameters, and submit the trade immediately. It is suitable for quick entries, reducing positions, manual handling after take-profit or stop-loss, and fast actions on a single token.

How to use the swap page

  1. Enter the token address and search.
  2. Confirm the token name, market cap, price, and DEX information.
  3. Choose buy or sell.
  4. Select the wallet and fill in the size.
  5. Set slippage, mode, priority fee, and tip fee.
  6. If you are buying, you can also configure take-profit and stop-loss at the same time.
  7. Click the button to submit the trade. The system will automatically poll the order status and notify you of the result.

Settings explained

Token search and information check

  • Enter token address: Enter the address of the token you want to trade and click search.
  • Recently traded tokens: The page lists tokens you traded recently. Clicking one will auto-fill it and start the search, which is useful for quick repeat actions.
  • Token info card: After a successful search, the page shows the following information to help you confirm that you selected the correct target:
    • Token address: The token currently prepared for trading.
    • Market cap: Used to quickly judge the scale of the project.
    • Price: The current reference price.
    • DEX: The on-chain platform where the current pool comes from.
    • Progress bar: Internal-launch tokens show progress information to help you judge the current stage.

Trade direction and size

  • Buy / Sell: Switch the trade direction for the current order.
  • Wallet: Choose the wallet that will actually send the transaction. The trade cannot be submitted if no wallet is selected.
  • Buy amount: Shown only in buy mode. The unit is SOL and it represents how much capital you plan to use for this trade.
  • Sell percent: Shown only in sell mode. It sells a percentage of your current holdings, ranging from 1% to 100%.

Trading parameters

  • Max slippage: Controls the maximum allowed deviation between the expected execution price and the actual fill price. Lower values keep fills closer to expectation; higher values make fills easier.
  • Fast mode and anti-MEV mode:
    • Fast mode: Prioritizes the fastest possible on-chain submission speed.
    • Anti-MEV mode: Submits trades through anti-MEV services to reduce sandwich attack risk.
  • Priority fee: The fee paid to validator nodes. Higher values make it easier to get earlier inclusion priority.
  • Tip fee: The fee paid to anti-MEV services and transaction relays. Higher values usually improve your ranking inside the service.

Take-profit and stop-loss configuration

Take-profit and stop-loss settings are shown only in buy mode. They are useful when you want to set your exit plan at the same time you open the position.

  • Take-profit settings: You can add up to 3 tiers. Each tier includes:
    • Price increase: How much price must rise relative to your buy cost before the rule triggers.
    • Sell quantity: The percentage of your current position to sell when triggered.
  • Stop-loss settings: You can add up to 3 tiers. Each tier includes:
    • Price decrease: How much price must fall relative to your buy cost before the rule triggers.
    • Sell quantity: The percentage of your current position to sell when triggered.
  • Add rule: You can continue adding take-profit or stop-loss rules separately, up to 3 on each side.
  • Delete rule: Any rule you no longer need can be removed individually.

Practical tips

  • Confirm token information after searching: Pay special attention to the name, price, and DEX to avoid trading the wrong pool or a token with a similar name.
  • Focus buys on cost and sells on execution: For buys, you can keep slippage more conservative. For sells, you can loosen it moderately depending on volatility.
  • Use tiered take-profit and stop-loss for more flexibility: Compared with selling everything at once, staged exits are often better for volatile markets.
  • Reuse recently traded tokens for repeated rounds: This reduces the time spent entering token addresses again.
