  • Priority Gas Fee: Choose between Fast (0.0015), Turbo (0.0075), or set a Custom fee.
  • Confirm Trades: If set to green, you'll need to click buy/sell to confirm. If red, clicking a buy amount or sell percentage will execute instantly.

Step 4: Start Trading

  1. Send a token contract address (CA), ticker, or link (Birdeye, Dexscreener, or Dextools) to the bot
  2. Select your buy amount and slippage
  3. If "Confirm Trades" is on, click the Buy button to execute the trade
Important: Always check the token information before buying to ensure it's the token you intend to purchase. Be cautious of tokens with similar names or tickers.

Basic Trading Operations

Master the fundamentals of trading with Trojan Bot

💰 How to Buy Tokens

Learn different methods to buy tokens, optimize your entries, and execute trades efficiently.

Methods to Buy Tokens

  1. Forward or send a contract address, ticker, or Birdeye/Dexscreener link to the bot
  2. Choose your buy amount from the preset options or enter a custom amount
  3. Set your desired slippage (default is 15%)
  4. Click Buy to confirm (if Confirm Trades is enabled)

Using Chart Preview

If enabled in settings, you can view a Dexscreener chart preview directly in the buy menu to help make more informed decisions:

  • Analyze price action before buying
  • Check current liquidity depth
  • View recent trading volume

Optimal Slippage Settings

Adjust your slippage based on token characteristics and market conditions:

  • Higher volatility or lower liquidity: Increase slippage (20-30%)
  • Tokens with taxes: Add at least 1-2% above the tax rate
  • Stable tokens with deep liquidity: Lower slippage (5-10%)

💸 How to Sell Tokens

Master the art of selling tokens, secure profits, and exit positions efficiently.

Methods to Sell Tokens

  • If getting "Slippage Exceeded" errors, increase your slippage settings
  • Set higher gas fees (Turbo or higher) for faster transaction execution

🤖 Auto Buy & Auto Sell

Configure automated buying and selling strategies for hands-free trading with predefined rules.

Setting Up Auto Buy

Auto Buy automatically initiates a buy when you send a token address or link to the bot.

  • Pre-set Buy Amount: Set the amount of SOL to use for each Auto Buy
  • Slippage: Set your preferred slippage for Auto Buy transactions
  • Min Liquidity Amount (Optional): Set a minimum liquidity threshold
  • Max Market Cap (Optional): Set a maximum market cap threshold

To reset any of these parameters, enter "none" in the respective setting.

Setting Up Auto Sell

Auto Sell automatically sets limit sell orders for any swap or Auto Buy based on your predefined strategy.

Configuration Options:

  • Click "Add Order" to add multiple orders to your strategy
  • Set a Stop Loss (S/L) using a negative percentage (-XX%)
  • Set multiple Take Profit (T/P) targets at different percentage increases

Security & Protection

Keep your transactions safe and secure on the Solana network

🛡️ Security & Protection Features

Protect your transactions from front-running and optimize your security settings.

MEV Protection

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) Protection shields your transactions from front-running and other forms of exploitation by validators and arbitrage bots.

How It Works:

  • Uses JITO Slots to make your transactions private
  • Ensures transactions can't be detected in the mempool and can't be front-run
  • Can be enabled separately for buys and sells

Enabling MEV Protection:

  1. Go to main menu (type /start) and click on "Settings"
  2. In Settings menu, enable MEV Protect for Buys and/or Sells

Considerations:

  • Only about 30% of validators provide MEV Protected private transactions
  • Can slow down transaction speed
  • Uses your gas settings to pay validator tips
  • May require higher gas settings in competitive conditions

Priority Gas Settings

Gas priority fees are paid to the network to prioritize your transactions for faster execution.

Available Options:

  • Fast: 0.0015 SOL per transaction - for regular trading in normal conditions
  • Turbo: 0.0075 SOL per transaction - for competitive trades or volatile markets
  • Custom: Set your own priority fee - for precise control over priority
Important: Gas priority fees are paid to the network even if your transaction fails. Always ensure you have enough SOL to cover your priority fee plus a buffer for network fees.

Wallet Security

Protect your funds and manage your wallets securely:

  • Export your wallet to external providers like Phantom or Solflare
  • Import external wallets using your private key
  • Never share your private key with anyone
  • Be cautious when approving token permissions
