Learn how to setup your volatility bot

Step 1: Open the Volatility Bots Section

Go to the Bots section and click on New Volatility Bot to start creating one, or go here.

Step 2: Basic Settings

  • Bot name: choose a name so you can easily find it later

  • Buy amount: set a buy amount. You can also use or customize the quick amount buttons

Most traders use 1–5% of their wallet balance

  • Example: if you have 10 SOL, set the buy amount to 0.05 SOL

Step 3: Price Drop (Buy Trigger)

Set how much the price must drop to trigger a buy.

  • Example: 10% drop over 15 minutes. The bot will continuously monitor prices every block. If the price drops more than 10% compared to 15 minutes ago, the bot will buy.

Step 4: Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) (Optional)

DCA helps reduce your average entry price by buying more if the price keeps dropping.

  • Example setup: additional buys at 10% and 20% drops

  • DCA amounts are usually the same as the initial buy or slightly higher

How it works:

  • Price drops 10% → first buy

  • Drops another 10% → second buy

  • Drops another 20% → third buy

This lowers your average entry price and makes take profit easier on a rebound.

Most users use 0–2 DCA levels

Step 5: Take Profit (Optional)

Set when the bot should sell after a rebound.

  • A good rule is to set take profit slightly lower than the buy drop. Example: buy at -10%, sell at +8%

This setup is safer because prices often rebound slightly less than they dropped.

Most users use one take profit level

Step 6: Stop Loss (Optional)

You can add a stop loss to limit downside risk. The bot will automatically sell if the price drops of the defined percentage. You can enable Freeze Token After Stop Loss so the bot stops trading that token for 7 days if a stop loss is hit. This helps you to avoid to repeadetly trade a falling token.

Many users don’t use one, or set a high stop loss (for example, -50%)

Step 7: Gas & Slippage

Review gas & slippage. Read more here.

Step 8: Wallet Selection

Select the wallet to trade from. Make sure it has enough funds for:

  • Token buys

  • DCA levels

  • Gas fees

At the top right, you’ll see the worst-case scenario, showing how much SOL the bot could use if all buys and DCAs are executed. This helps you understand how much SOL you should have available.

Step 9: Token Selection

Choose which tokens the bot can trade. You can:

  • Select tokens manually from Research or other tools

  • Use a preset. Read more here.

After saving, you’ll see the selected tokens listed. Review it.

Step 10: Basic Risk Controls

  • Auto-retry: keep this enabled to retry to execute an order if it fails

  • Maximum open trades: set a limit (for example, 10) to control risk. This will limit the maximum number of open trades that can be open at the same time, to a defined number.
