Trading Settings

Configure your trading parameters to optimize performance and manage risk. This guide covers all trading settings available in TokenLab.

Trading Modes

TokenLab offers two primary trading modes that can be switched instantly: Trading Settings Panel

Buy Mode

Purpose: Automatically purchase tokens using selected wallets

  • Executes buy orders based on configured parameters

  • Uses random amounts within specified ranges

  • Applies variable slippage to avoid detection patterns

  • Coordinates across multiple selected wallets

Sell Mode

Purpose: Automatically sells token holdings

  • Liquidates existing token positions

  • Supports partial or complete selling

  • Enables quick exit strategies

  • Provides "Sell All" functionality for rapid response

SOL Amount Configuration

Configure the SOL amounts for each transaction to balance impact and diversification:

Min Sum (SOL)

  • Default: 0.1 SOL

  • Range: 0.01 - 10.0 SOL

  • Purpose: Minimum SOL amount per transaction

  • Strategy: Lower amounts for stealth, higher for impact

Max Sum (SOL)

  • Default: 1.0 SOL

  • Range: 0.01 - 10.0 SOL

  • Purpose: Maximum SOL amount per transaction

  • Strategy: Must be greater than Min Sum

Random Amount Selection: The system randomly selects amounts between Min and Max for each transaction, creating natural trading patterns that avoid detection.

Example Configuration:

Slippage Configuration

Slippage tolerance determines how much price movement you'll accept during transaction execution:

Min Slippage (%)

  • Default: 1%

  • Range: 0.1% - 50%

  • Purpose: Minimum slippage tolerance

  • Impact: Lower values reduce price impact but may cause failures

Max Slippage (%)

  • Default: 5%

  • Range: 0.1% - 50%

  • Purpose: Maximum slippage tolerance

  • Impact: Higher values ensure execution but cost more

Dynamic Slippage Benefits:

  • MEV Protection: Random slippage helps avoid MEV extraction

  • Pattern Avoidance: Varied tolerances prevent detection

  • Execution Guarantee: Higher max ensures transactions complete
