Trading
Presets & Settings
Save slippage, fees and MEV protection once, then trade with one click.
Trenchers keeps three trading presets, PRESET 1, PRESET 2 and PRESET 3 (P1–P3 for short). Each one stores how your trades land, and every manual trade uses one of them.
Edit a preset
Open the editor
Click the PRESET chip in the bottom bar to open Trading Settings. On a token page, the PRESET 1–3 tabs under the trade panel open the same editor.
Pick a preset
The tab you pick becomes your active preset for the trade panel and Instant Trade.
Change the values
Edits save as you type and follow you to your other devices.
The settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Slippage | How far the price may move against you before the trade fails. |
| Priority | A fee in SOL that gets your transaction processed sooner. |
| Bribe | A Jito tip in SOL that helps your transaction land in a busy block. |
| Auto Fee | Sets priority and bribe from live network fees, up to Max fee. Your own values return when you turn it off. |
| MEV Mode | Off is fastest, with no protection. Reduced also sends through a protected route. Secure uses private routes only: the best guard against sandwich attacks, sometimes a little slower. |
| Preset | Slippage | Priority | Bribe | MEV Mode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | 10% | 0.005 SOL | 0.01 SOL | Secure |
| P2 | 20% | 0.005 SOL | 0.01 SOL | Off |
| P3 | 30% | 0.005 SOL | 0.01 SOL | Off |
All three start with Auto Fee off and Max fee at 0.1 SOL.
When to change them
- Buys fail with Slippage too high: raise slippage, or switch to a looser preset.
- Trades do not land in a busy market: raise Priority and Bribe.
- Small buys: the default priority and bribe cost 0.015 SOL per trade, so lower them or try Auto Fee.
Trenches columns and Discover keep their own P1–P3 pick for quick buys. Limit, DCA and auto-sell orders keep the values they were placed with. With Auto Fee, they lock in the live fee at that moment, up to Max fee.
