Token Sniping

Token sniping lets you automatically purchase tokens the moment liquidity is added. Get in early on new launches before the crowd.

How Sniping Works

1. Set up a snipe with token address and amount
2. Monitor for liquidity addition
3. Auto-execute buy when liquidity detected
4. Trade completes in the same block or next

Getting Started

Access Sniping

Via Telegram:

/snipe

Via Dashboard: Navigate to Sniping in the sidebar.

Create a Snipe

/snipe <token_address> <amount>

/snipe 0x1234...abcd 1.5

Snipe Configuration

Gas Strategy

Speed is critical for sniping. Gas settings determine your priority.

Gas Multipliers

Gas Tips

• Higher gas = faster execution but more cost
• For competitive snipes, use 2x or higher
• Monitor network conditions
• Consider cost vs. potential gain

Anti-Rug Features

Protect yourself from malicious tokens:

Honeypot Detection

Checks if token can be sold:

• Simulates sell transaction
• Blocks if sell fails
• Prevents buying unsellable tokens

Tax Check

Verifies buy/sell taxes:

• Set maximum acceptable tax
• Skip tokens with excessive fees
• Avoid tokens with hidden taxes

Liquidity Lock Check

Verifies liquidity is locked:

• Requires minimum lock duration
• Checks lock percentage
• Reduces rug pull risk

Ownership Check

Analyzes contract ownership:

• Renounced ownership preferred
• Checks for dangerous functions
• Warns on suspicious patterns

Auto-Sell Settings

Set automatic exit strategies:

Take Profit

Automatically sell at target:

Auto-sell 50% at 2x
Auto-sell remaining at 5x

Stop Loss

Protect against losses:

Sell 100% if drops 50%

Time-Based Exit

Exit after set time:

Sell if held > 1 hour

Trailing Stop

Lock in profits:

Trail at 20% from peak

Managing Snipes

Snipe Status

Status Indicators

Failure Reasons

• Liquidity added but sold out
• Price exceeded max
• Failed safety checks
• Insufficient gas
• Network congestion

Success Strategies

Research First

Before sniping:

• Verify contract source
• Check team reputation
• Review tokenomics
• Look for red flags

Set Realistic Expectations

Not every snipe will succeed:

• Competition can be intense
• Some tokens fail safety checks
• Network conditions vary

Manage Risk

• Only snipe what you can lose
• Use anti-rug protections
• Set stop losses
• Don't chase losses

Common Mistakes

1. Insufficient Gas

Problem: Snipe executes too slow, miss entry Solution: Use 2x+ gas multiplier

2. No Safety Checks

Problem: Buy honeypot or rug Solution: Enable all anti-rug features

3. No Exit Plan

Problem: Hold through dump Solution: Set auto-sell triggers

4. Too Much Size

Problem: Large loss on failure Solution: Start small, scale up

Advanced Techniques

Multi-Block Sniping

Try across multiple blocks:

Blocks to try: 3

Increases chance of execution but may get worse price.

Conditional Sniping

Only snipe if conditions met:

• Minimum liquidity amount
• Maximum holder count at launch
• Specific pair type

Portfolio Allocation

Dedicate specific wallet to sniping:

• W3: Sniping only
• Fixed balance for snipes
• Track performance separately
