Volume

Keep your token trading with timed buys or sells, or a fast mix of both, across your wallets.

The Volume task form: the volume style, the trading plan and the buy amount per trade. No task is created.

Volume makes your wallets trade the token again and again. Each trade is a real buy or sell, so the chart shows activity and volume. You choose one of two styles.

  • Scheduled — one side, fixed interval — only buys, or only sells, one wallet per trade, on a timer.
  • Mixed — fast random buys and sells — each trade picks a side, a wallet and a size at random. It can run several trades at the same time.

You cannot change the style after the task is created.

Before you start#

  • The token is live and can be traded.
  • Your wallets hold SOL for buys and fees. For sells, they also hold the token.

Set up Volume#

  1. Open the token in the terminal. In Tasks, press New task.
  2. Under Task type, pick Volume.
  3. Choose a Volume style, and fill in its settings (below).
  4. Pick the wallets. The task takes turns between them, so more wallets show more traders.
  5. Press Create task, then Start.
The Volume form with its volume styles

Volume has no Preview. It trades for real from the moment it starts.

Scheduled settings#

  • Trading plan — Bullish — scheduled buys or Bearish — scheduled sells. The names say what the task does. They do not predict the price.
  • Buy amount per trade — SOL for each buy. Default 0.01 SOL.
  • Total buy budget — the most all wallets spend on buys together. Default 0.1 SOL. Fees come on top.
  • Tokens to sell per trade — for sells, the share of the wallet's tokens to sell each time. Default 10%. Wallets with no tokens are skipped.
  • Time between trades — default 60 seconds.
  • Maximum trades — default 10. Trades that fail still count.
  • Stop after (under Advanced) — a time limit in minutes, counted from each start or resume. Default 60.

The task stops at Maximum trades, the time limit or the budget, whichever comes first.

Mixed settings#

  • Buy power and Sell power — how often it buys versus sells. 50 / 50 is even. 70 / 30 buys more often. 100 / 0 only buys.
  • Buy sizing — Random size in a band buys between Min buy and Max buy (default 0.01–0.1 SOL). Reach a volume target in a window aims for a Target volume in SOL Within a number of minutes.
  • Min sell and Max sell — each sell takes a random share of the wallet's tokens. Default 10–50%.
  • Shortest wait between trades and Longest wait between trades — the wait before the next trade is sent. Default 1000–5000 ms (1 to 5 seconds).

Under Advanced:

  • Trades at once — how many trades may be on their way together, each from a different wallet. Default 1, up to 50.
  • Most trades on one side in a row — after this many buys in a row, the next trade sells, and the other way round. Default 3. 0 turns it off.
  • Net-buy cap — the most SOL the run may spend on buys beyond what its sells bring back. At the cap, every trade sells. 0 turns it off.
  • Min SOL reserve — SOL each wallet always keeps. Default 0.
  • Maximum trades — 0 (the default) runs until you stop it.
  • Look like trading bots — Solana only. Pick bots such as Photon or Axiom. Each trade then also sends 0.00000001 SOL to that bot's fee wallet, so explorers label the trade as made through the bot.

Settings in both styles#

  • Slippage (under Advanced) — default 5%.
  • Maximum supply per wallet (under Advanced) — skips buying with a wallet that already holds this share of the supply. 0 means no limit.
  • Dev wallet trades — off by default, so your dev wallet does not trade.
Every trade costs money

Each trade pays the network fee and the platform fee. Each sell also gets back a bit less than its buy cost, because of the price move and slippage. A fast Mixed run can make hundreds of trades a minute. Set Maximum trades, a volume target or a time limit before you start. See Real funds & confirms.

Going fast

For 10 or more trades a second, set the waits to 50–100 ms, Trades at once to 10 or more, and pick at least that many wallets.

Troubleshooting#

  • Sells are skipped — those wallets hold none of the token. Buy first, or use the Bullish plan.
  • Buys stopped early — in Scheduled, the Total buy budget is spent. In Mixed, a wallet may be down to its Min SOL reserve.

Every setting#

Every option on the Volume form

volume
  • Volume stylechoicedefault Scheduled — one side, fixed interval
    Scheduled trades one side on a fixed interval. Mixed picks a side, a wallet and a size at random every trade, and can keep several trades in flight at once. The style cannot be changed after the task is created.

  • Buy amount per tradenumberrequireddefault 0.01 SOL
  • Total buy budgetnumberrequireddefault 0.1 SOL
    Maximum spent on buys across all selected wallets. Network and platform fees are additional. The final buy may be smaller to stay within the budget.
  • Tokens to sell per tradenumberrequireddefault 10 %0.01–100 %
    Percentage of the chosen wallet’s remaining tokens, each time. Empty wallets are skipped; this plan never buys.
  • Time between tradesnumberrequireddefault 60 seconds1–86400 seconds
  • Maximum tradesnumberrequireddefault 101–10000
    One wallet per trade. Submitted attempts count even if they fail. Stops at this limit, the time limit, or the buy budget, whichever comes first.
  • Wallet rotationchoicedefault Take turns
    Uses the wallets selected above. Wallets without spendable funds or tokens are skipped.
    Take turnsRandom wallet
  • Stop afternumberrequireddefault 60 minutes1–10080 minutes
    Time limit each time the task starts or resumes. The trade count and buy budget continue from the saved progress.
  • Buy powernumberdefault 50
    Relative weight of buys vs sells: 50 / 50 is even, 70 / 30 leans long, 100 / 0 only buys. At least one must be above 0.
  • Sell powernumberdefault 50
  • Most trades on one side in a rownumberdefault 3
    After this many buys in a row the next trade is a sell, and the other way round, so the feed never shows a one-way run. 0 = off.
  • Net-buy capnumberdefault 0 SOL
    The most the run may be net long (bought minus sold). At the cap every trade is a sell until it is back under, so the chart stays level and the wallets keep their SOL. 0 = off.
  • Buy sizingchoicedefault Random size in a band
    Target: every buy is sized from what is still missing over the fires the window allows — re-sized from the ledger each tick, so it catches up when behind and stops on the target.

  • Min buynumberdefault 0.01 SOL
  • Max buynumberdefault 0.1 SOL
  • Target volumenumberdefault 1 SOL
    Printed volume to reach: buys count what they spend, sells what they bring back.
  • Withinnumberdefault 30 min
    The run ends when the target is printed or the window closes, whichever comes first.
  • Size jitternumberdefault 30 %0–90 %
    Each sized buy swings ± this much so the ticks do not all look alike.
  • Min sellnumberdefault 10 %0.01–100 %
    A sell takes a random share of the chosen wallet’s tokens within this range.
  • Max sellnumberdefault 50 %0.01–100 %
  • Shortest wait between tradesnumberdefault 1000 ms
    The wait before the NEXT trade is sent — not until the last one lands. For 10+ trades a second: waits of 50–100 ms, 10 or more trades at once, and at least that many wallets.
  • Longest wait between tradesnumberdefault 5000 ms
  • Trades at oncenumberdefault 11–50
    How many trades may be on their way at the same time, each from a different wallet (a wallet never carries two). 1 = one at a time. Every trade pays its own network and platform fees.
  • Slippagenumberdefault 5 %0.01–50 %
  • Min SOL reservenumberdefault 0 SOL
    Keep at least this much SOL in each wallet (for gas); a buy that would breach it is clamped or skipped. 0 = off.
  • Stop after repeated errorsnumberdefault 5
  • Look like trading botschoicesdefault
    Every trade also sends 0.00000001 SOL to the picked bot's fee wallet. Explorers and trackers then label the trade as made through that bot. Each wallet sticks to one bot. Pick none to turn this off.
  • Maximum tradesnumberdefault 0
    0 = run until stopped.
  • Maximum supply per walletnumberdefault 0 %0–100 %
    Skip wallets already holding this share of the token supply. 0 = no limit.
