Risk & Execution · Trenchers Docs

These settings decide how a bot's orders land, how much it holds at once, and when it may buy. They sit on more than one tab, so each one says where.

Slippage and retries

Setting	Tab	What it does
Buy slippage	Essentials	How much worse than the quoted price a buy may fill.
Sell slippage	Essentials	The same for sells. A take-profit step can set its own.
Buy retries	Risk & execution	If a buy misses on price, it tries again this many times, letting the limit climb to the Buy slippage ceiling.
Sell retries	Risk & execution	If a sell misses on price, it tries again at the same limit.

Higher slippage fills more often in fast markets, at a worse price.

Priority fee (Risk & execution) is an extra bid that helps a trade land when blocks are busy. Live trades always bid at least 0.00001 SOL, and also pay about 0.0002 SOL to land whatever you set. See Bot Costs.
Max price impact (Entry Gates) skips a token when your own buy would move its price more than this.

Max open positions is the most tokens the bot holds at once. While it is full, new buys are skipped. 0 means no limit.
Allow re-entry off means the bot never buys a token again after trading it. Leave it off unless your strategy re-enters on purpose: on, a token that still passes can be bought back seconds after a sale, paying fees both ways. Manual buys are always allowed.

The Trading hours row on Essentials sets when the bot may buy. Off, it buys at any hour.

Add up to 4 windows a day. Asia, Europe and US add common sessions as windows.
All windows use the bot's one time zone, which it keeps if you travel. Clock changes are handled for you.
The start time is included and the end time is not. A window can run overnight, such as 22:00 to 06:00.
Outside every window the bot buys nothing, but its sells keep running all day. Your manual buys are not limited.
Off-hours, the bot's card reads SLEEPING with the time it buys again.
