Override global trading settings for individual positions to customize your exit strategy per token.

## What Are Position Settings?

Position Settings let you choose how each individual position is managed — independently from your global defaults. You can switch between three exit modes and customize Take Profit / Stop Loss on a per-position basis.

## Accessing Position Settings

You can access Position Settings from multiple places:

- **Live Dashboard**: Click the ⚙️ button on any position
- **Positions Menu**: Select a position, then tap "⚙️ Position Settings"
- **After Buying**: Settings button appears on the buy confirmation message

## Exit Modes

Each position can be in one of three exit modes. You can switch between them at any time without closing the position.

### ⚡ Simple Mode

Set custom Take Profit and Stop Loss for this position, overriding your global defaults.

- **Take Profit**: 1-10,000% — auto-sell when P&L reaches this percentage
- **Stop Loss**: 1-100% — auto-sell when P&L drops to -X%
- If not set, your global TP/SL/Trailing Stop settings apply
- Tap "🔄 Reset to Defaults" to clear custom values

### 📊 Plan Mode

Apply a multi-rule trading plan to this position. Plans execute staged exits automatically (e.g., sell 50% at +50%, trail the rest).

- Choose from built-in plans (Trench Snipe, Moonbag Runner, Profit Clipping), your saved plans, or **Disable Trading Plan** to go manual
- You can change the plan at any time — plan progress is preserved when switching plans
- Tap "📋 Change Plan" to select a different plan

### 📡 Copy Sell Mode

Only available for positions opened via copy trading. Mirrors the tracked wallet's sell signals.

- When the tracked wallet sells, your position sells the same percentage
- Shows the tracked wallet name and activation date
- Switch to Simple or Plan Mode anytime for local controls

## How It Works

### Default Behavior

Without custom settings, all positions use your global settings from the Settings menu:
- Global Take Profit (if enabled)
- Global Stop Loss (if enabled)
- Global Trailing Stop (if enabled)

### Override Mode

When you set custom values for a position:
1. Position uses your custom Take Profit and/or Stop Loss
2. Other positions continue using global defaults
3. Visual indicator (⚙️) appears next to the position in lists
4. Settings persist even if you buy more of the same token

### Resetting to Defaults

Tap "🔄 Reset to Defaults" to remove all custom settings and return to using your global settings.

## Visual Indicators

- **⚙️ Icon**: Appears next to positions with custom settings in position lists
- **Settings Display**: Shows "(custom)" or "(default)" next to each value
- **Dashboard Integration**: Settings button accessible without stopping the live dashboard

## Best Practices

- **High-Conviction Plays**: Use higher Take Profit targets for tokens you believe have more upside
- **Volatile Tokens**: Use wider Stop Loss ranges for tokens with high volatility
- **Cautious Positions**: Use tighter Stop Loss for tokens you're less certain about
- **Keep Most Defaults**: Only use custom settings for special situations to maintain consistency
- **Review Regularly**: Check custom settings as market conditions and your strategy evolve

## Important Notes

- Settings apply to **automated exit triggers only** (Take Profit, Stop Loss, Trailing Stop)
- **Manual sells always work** regardless of position settings
- Position settings **persist if you buy more** of the same token (position reopens with same settings)
- **Moon Bag Mode**, if active on a position, disables all auto-sell triggers regardless of settings (Basic Mode only)
- Custom settings are **independent per position** — changing one doesn't affect others
- Changing exit modes doesn't close your position — only changes how exits are managed

## User Interface Details

### Entry Points

Position Settings opens as a **new message** that doesn't interfere with your current screen:
- Live Dashboard continues running while settings are open
- Positions menu stays accessible
- You can navigate away and settings message remains

### Close Button

Tap "❌ Close" to dismiss the settings message. Your source screen (dashboard/positions) is still there.

### Multiple Positions

If you have multiple open positions:
- First screen shows a list of all positions
- Positions with custom settings show ⚙️ indicator
- Select a position to manage its settings
- "⬅️ Back" button returns to position list
- "❌ Close" exits completely

### Single Position

If you only have one open position:
- Settings screen opens directly (skips position selector)
- "❌ Close" button exits the settings

## Examples
