Trading Settings

Basic Configuration

• Auto-Trade: Master switch for all auto-buys (signals and copy trade). Toggle from the main menu 🤖 Auto control panel or Settings. Turning this on alone does not make auto-buy ACTIVE — see gates below.
• Buy Amount: Fixed SOL amount (default: 0.01 SOL) or percentage of balance
• Slippage Tolerance: 1-100% (default: 20%) - price movement tolerance during trades

Auto-Buy Control Panel

Tap 🤖 Auto on the main menu for a consolidated view of signal auto-buy, execution wallets, and copy-trade readiness.

Use 🔍 Diagnostics in the panel for a per-signal and per-wallet blocker list. Full gate details: Buy Options.

Auto-Buy Protection

Prevents duplicate auto-buys of the same token, protecting you from unintentional position stacking.

How It Works

• When a signal fires for a token you've already purchased (open or closed position), the auto-buy is skipped
• You'll receive a notification explaining why the auto-buy was blocked
• Manual buys are not affected - you can always buy manually if you choose

Why Use It

• Multiple signals: DEX + Call channels may fire for the same token
• Multiple callers: Different call channels may call the same token
• Re-entries: Prevents accidentally re-buying a token you've already traded

Settings

• Location: Settings → Auto-Buy Protection
• Default: ON for all users (recommended)
• Toggle: Enable or disable at any time

Buy Again Flow

When an auto-buy is blocked, you'll receive a notification with:

• Token name and address
• Your existing position status (open or closed)
• Buy Again button - manually purchase if you want to add to your position
• View Position button - see your existing position (if open)
• Protection Settings button - quickly access the setting

Low-Balance Auto-Buy Protection

Soft-pauses signal and copy-trade auto-buys when the execution wallet wouldn’t keep enough SOL after the next buy to cover sell fees for open positions.

How It Works

• ARCHR reserves ~0.01 SOL per open auto-sell-eligible position, plus the same amount for the new buy
• If wallet balance − buy amount would fall below that reserve, the auto-buy is skipped
• You receive an “Auto-Buy Paused — Low Balance” alert with a Deposit shortcut
• No settings are changed — auto-buy resumes automatically when balance is sufficient again
• Manual buys are not blocked by this gate (they still need the normal fee buffer)

Why Use It

• Prevents stacking new auto-buys that leave you unable to exit existing positions
• Especially important with many open positions or a small wallet balance relative to buy size

Where You’ll See It

• Auto-Buy Control Panel / Diagnostics may list a low-balance blocker
• Alert notification when a signal or copy auto-buy is paused for this reason

Per-Signal Buy Amount & Exit Strategy

You can override your global buy amount and exit strategy for each individual signal source (call channel, DEX signal type, or tracked wallet). This is configured in Settings → Signal Preferences — tap any channel to access its settings.

• Buy Amount: Global default, fixed SOL, or percentage of balance — per signal
• Exit Strategy: Trading Plan, Basic Mode, or Manual Only — per signal
• If left on "Global," your main settings apply

See Signal Preferences Configuration for full details.

Exit Mode & Trading Plans

• Basic Mode vs Plan Mode: Choose your default exit strategy under Settings → Trading Plans
• Basic Mode: Single Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Trailing Stop (global or per-position)
• Plan Mode: Multi-rule plans (built-ins: Trench Snipe, Moonbag Runner, Profit Clipping, or your custom plans). Default plan is Trench Snipe. You can set Disable Trading Plan per signal or per position to trade manually.
• See Sell Options for full details on both modes.

Advanced Sell Settings (Basic Mode)

• Take Profit: Automatically sell when profit target is reached
• Stop Loss: Automatically sell to limit losses
• Trailing Stop: Dynamic stop that follows price up — sells when P&L drops X% from peak
• Trailing Take Profit (TTP): Like a trailing stop with a safety gate — only activates after your position reaches a minimum profit threshold, then trails the peak with a configurable drawdown percentage. Two parameters: Activation (5–1000%) and Drawdown (1–50%). See Risk Management for details.
• Price Protection: Auto-sell if price doesn't increase within 3 minutes (applies to auto-buys only)
• Moon Bag Mode: Partial profit-taking that keeps upside exposure (see Moon Bag Mode)
