Trailing Stop

The trailing stop is designed to let winning trades run while protecting your gains. It activates after a token reaches a certain profit level, then follows the price up and sells when it drops.

How it works

1. You set an activation percentage (e.g. 30%)
2. You set a drop percentage (e.g. 5%)
3. When your position's profit reaches the activation level, the trailing stop turns on
4. From that point, the bot tracks the highest price the token reaches
5. If the price drops by the drop percentage from the peak price, the bot sells

Example: Big winner

Settings: Trailing activation = 30%, Trailing drop = 5%

• You buy a token at $1.00
• Price rises to $1.30 (+30%). Trailing stop activates.
• Price keeps climbing to $1.80. Bot tracks $1.80 as the new peak.
• 5% drop from peak: $1.80 x 0.95 = $1.71
• Price drops to $1.71. Bot sells.
• Result: You sold at +71% profit instead of selling at +30%

Example: Quick reversal

Settings: Trailing activation = 30%, Trailing drop = 5%

• You buy a token at $1.00
• Price hits $1.30 (+30%). Trailing stop activates. Peak = $1.30.
• 5% drop from peak: $1.30 x 0.95 = $1.235
• Price drops to $1.235. Bot sells.
• Result: You sold at +23.5% profit

WARNING

The drop percentage is calculated from the peak price, not from your entry price. A 5% drop from a $1.80 peak is $0.09, not $0.05.

Trailing Activation

What it does: The profit percentage at which the trailing stop turns on.

Accepted range: 1% to 1,000%

Suggested: 30%

TIP

Set this higher than your take profit if you want trailing to only kick in on big moves. Set it lower if you want trailing to activate early.

Trailing Drop

What it does: Once trailing is active, the bot sells when the price drops this percentage from its highest point.

Accepted range: 1% to 100%

Suggested: 5%

Range	Style	Best for
1-3%	Tight	Locking in gains fast, less volatile tokens
5-10%	Moderate	Most trading styles
15%+	Loose	Highly volatile tokens that swing a lot

Trailing stop vs profit buffer

Both features let profits run, but they work differently:

	Profit Buffer	Trailing Stop
Activates at	Your take profit level	A separate threshold you set
Tracks	Peak price after TP is hit	Peak price after activation
Sells when	Price drops buffer % from peak price	Price drops trail % from peak price

WARNING

Both can be active at the same time. Whichever triggers a sell first wins. Make sure your settings do not conflict.
