ARCHR offers two distinct approaches to automated selling: **Basic Mode** for straightforward exit strategies and **Trading Plan Mode** for advanced multi-stage exits.

## Manual Selling

Regardless of which mode you're using, you can always manually sell:

- **Percentage Sells**: Quick buttons for 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% exits
- **Custom Percentage**: Specify any exact percentage to sell
- **Sell All Positions**: Emergency exit from all holdings
- **Individual Position Sells**: Target specific tokens from your portfolio

## Exit Modes Overview

| Feature | Basic Mode | Trading Plan Mode |
|---------|-------------|-------------------|
| **Complexity** | Single triggers | Multi-stage rules |
| **Take Profit** | One target | Multiple targets |
| **Stop Loss** | One level | Configurable |
| **Trailing Stop** | Available | Available |
| **Moon Bag** | Global setting | Per-plan option |
| **Best For** | Set-and-forget | Advanced strategies |

## Basic Mode

Basic Mode uses your global settings to automatically exit positions. Each trigger operates independently.

### Take Profit
Automatically sells 100% when your position reaches your profit target.

- **Example**: Set to 50% → Position sells when P&L hits +50%
- **Access**: Settings → Trading Settings → Take Profit

### Stop Loss
Protects against losses by selling 100% when your position drops to your loss threshold.

- **Example**: Set to 25% → Position sells when P&L hits -25%
- **Access**: Settings → Trading Settings → Stop Loss

### Trailing Stop
A dynamic stop-loss that follows your position's peak profit, then sells if it drops by a set percentage from that peak.

- **Example**: Set to 18% → If position peaks at +60%, sells if it drops to +42%
- **Access**: Settings → Trading Settings → Trailing Stop
- **Note**: Only triggers after your position has been profitable

### Price Protection
Automatically sells if a token's price doesn't increase within 3 minutes of an auto-buy. Protects against rug pulls and failed launches on automated purchases.

- **Applies to**: Auto-buys only (not manual purchases)
- **Triggers**: 3 minutes after auto-buy if price ≤ entry price
- **Access**: Settings → Trading Settings → Price Protection

### Moon Bag Mode (Basic Mode)
When enabled, Take Profit and Trailing Stop execute a **partial sell** instead of 100%:

1. Recover your initial investment
2. Take a percentage of your profits
3. Keep remaining tokens as your "moon bag"
4. Auto-sells disabled for that position afterward

See [Moon Bag Mode](/docs/moon-bag-mode) for detailed settings and examples.

## Trading Plan Mode

Trading Plan Mode lets you create **multi-stage exit strategies** with different rules that execute at different price points. Rules are monitored simultaneously - whichever triggers first executes.

### How It Works

1. **Create or select a plan** with multiple rules
2. **Rules are grouped by type**:
   - 📈 **Profit Rules**: Take Profit, Trailing Stop
   - 🛡️ **Protection**: Stop Loss
3. **Rules execute independently** - first triggered wins
4. **Partial sells** let remaining rules continue monitoring

### Example Plan: "Scaling Out"

| Rule | Trigger | Action |
|------|---------|--------|
| 1 | TP +25% | Sell 25% |
| 2 | TP +50% | Sell 50% |
| 3 | TP +100% | Sell 100% (close) |
| 4 | SL -30% | Sell 100% (protection) |

In this plan:
- At +25% profit → Sell 25%, keep monitoring
- At +50% profit → Sell 50%, keep monitoring
- At +100% profit → Close position
- If price drops -30% at any point → Close position (protection)

### Built-in Plans

ARCHR includes 4 pre-configured plans (default: **Trench Snipe**):

| Plan | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Trench Snipe** 🎯 | TP +50% sell 50%, then TSL 25% sell rest |
| **Moonbag Runner** 🌙🏃‍♂️ | Moon bag at +50% (10% profit), then TPs at 75/100/150%, SL 50% |
| **Profit Clipping** ✂️ | Scale out at 25/50/75/150%, TSL 30% |
| **TTP Sniper** 🎯⤴️ | TTP at +50% activation / 15% drawdown, SL 30% |

You can also choose **Disable Trading Plan** (in signal-specific or position settings) to turn off automation and trade manually.

### Creating Custom Plans

1. Go to **Settings → Trading Plans → Create Plan**
2. Name your plan
3. Add rules one at a time (up to 10):
   - Choose trigger type (Take Profit, Stop Loss, Trailing Stop)
   - Set the trigger value
   - Choose sell percentage (or Moon Bag for first rule)
4. Click **Finish & Save Plan** when done

### Moon Bag in Trading Plans

The first rule of a custom plan can use **Moon Bag** mode:

- Triggers at your specified profit target
- Recovers investment + takes a percentage of profit
- Remaining rules continue monitoring the moon bag position

### Per-Channel Exit Strategy

You can assign different exit strategies to every individual signal source — each call channel, each DEX signal type, and each tracked wallet can have its own plan:

- **MadApes Calls** → e.g. Moonbag Runner plan
- **Golden Ticker** → e.g. Trench Snipe plan
- **Tracked Wallet** → Copy Sell (mirrors the wallet's exits) or any trading plan
- **Anime Gems** → Manual Only (no automated exits)

Configure per-channel exit strategy via: **Settings → Signal Preferences → [Select Channel] → Exit Strategy**

**Disable Trading Plan** (Manual Only) is available for every signal — select it to turn off all automated exits for positions from that source.

### Copy Sell (Tracked Wallets Only)

When using copy trading, the **Copy Sell** exit strategy mirrors the tracked wallet's sells proportionally. If they sell 50% of their position, the bot sells 50% of yours.

See [Copy Trading](/docs/copy-trading) for full details.

## Switching Between Modes

### Global Default (New Positions)
Set your default exit mode for all new positions:

**Settings → Trading Plans → Exit Mode**
- Choose **Basic Mode** or **Plan Mode**
- Select your default plan if using Plan Mode

### Per-Position Override
Change the exit mode for a specific position:

1. Go to **Positions → Position Settings**
2. Select the position
3. Choose **Exit Settings**
4. Switch between Basic/Plan mode
5. Configure settings for that position only
