Essentials
Trade size and the settings every bot needs before it starts.
Essentials is the first tab on a bot's Configure page. It sets how much each trade spends and holds the bot's basic behaviour.
Trade size
Per-trade size is the SOL the bot spends on each buy. A bigger size puts more at risk on every entry. A smaller one needs a bigger price move to cover its fees: see Bot Costs.
Bots trade in SOL. The trade size, the bot's balance and its PnL are all in SOL, even if you use USDC for manual trades.

Required before a bot starts
A bot will not start until each of these has been set or accepted by you.
| Setting | Tab | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Per-trade size | Essentials | SOL spent on each buy |
| Min holders | Entry Gates | Fewest wallets that must hold the token |
| Max top-10 holders % | Entry Gates | Most supply the top 10 wallets may hold |
| Min unique wallets | Entry Gates | Fewest different wallets that must have traded it |
| Min buy / sell ratio | Entry Gates | How far buys must outnumber sells |
| Min liquidity (USD) | Entry Gates | Smallest pool it will buy into |
| A take-profit step | Exit Strategy | At least one price to sell at |
| Max hold time | Exit Strategy | Longest it keeps any position |
| One price range | Entry Gates | Both ends of Curve progress or of Market cap. Migration bots use market cap. |
Required means you decide, not that the check must be on. Apart from the trade size and the take-profit step, each one can be switched off. The stop loss is optional.
