# Profiles / Settings

Crypto trading isn’t one-size-fits-all. Buying a high market cap token isn’t the same as wading into the waters of newly launched meme coins. Use Trade Settings profiles to **create** and **customize trading profiles** for any strategy and switch between them instantly, **tailoring your experience** to match your goals and risk tolerance.&#x20;

## Trade Settings

* When you first open Trojan's Terminal, you will see three preset Trade Settings. You may keep these as-is, or edit them as you see fit.&#x20;

* Click the Settings icon <img src="https://929272793-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7NS5fH98vYksfOLmRuJn%2Fuploads%2F6lpKalxeXBtwS4lQoWBT%2Ftrade%20settings%20icon.png?alt=media&#x26;token=08cf8d98-e29d-4c26-b909-5fe6fa0791ac" alt="A very small depiction of the button to press to edit trade settings profiles." data-size="line"> to edit an existing profile.

When editing settings, remember to toggle from Buy to Sell and fill in both!

\*
Edit the **Preset Name** for your profile if desired.

* Set **Quick Suggestion** (i.e. preset) amounts. SOL amounts for Buys. % of holdings for Sells.
* In Buys, set **Clipboard Quick Buy** amount. See [clipboard-buy](https://docs.trojan.com/trading-on-trojan/trojan-swaps/clipboard-buy "mention") for details.
* Set the **Priority Fee** - higher priority fees for quicker confirmations.
* Set the **Bribe** amount used for MEV protection. It helps ensure fast, private transactions, while safeguarding against MEV attacks.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll also pay a one-time \~0.002 SOL fee to the Solana network to create token storage in your wallet, refundable after selling the token.
{% endhint %}

* Set your **Slippage - s**lippage is a percentage you choose that reflects **tolerance for price changes during txn execution**. **Snipe Slippage** typically requires a higher percentage to handle rapid price movements during sniping.
* **Spam Buy -** enables **one-click rapid-fire purchases** of up to 10 separate transactions. For example, setting spam buy to 5 with a 0.1 SOL purchase results in 5 transactions totaling 0.5 SOL. This reduces MEV risk by splitting a larger buy into smaller, less noticeable transactions. **Spam Sell** is similar, but with Sells.
* **MEV Protection -** enabling MEV Protection <img src="https://929272793-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7NS5fH98vYksfOLmRuJn%2Fuploads%2FtrRjc5jk7enT681BU41m%2FMEV%20on%204k.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8eab0cbf-3df0-462e-a855-9bad6e634187" alt="The MEV protection indicator. When it is green, MEV protection is active." data-size="line"> protects your buys and sells from MEV attacks. Disabling may increase speed but reduces protection.
* **Auto Sell** - creates **limit orders at the moment of purchase.** To use Auto Sell, check the box to the Left to enable, then press **Add order** to add orders. Fill **Price** and **Sell** % fields. Click **Add order** to add additional Auto Sell limit orders.
* When you are satisfied with your profile settings, click **Save Changes** and you're done!

{% hint style="info" %}
**Slippage in simple language:**  It's an active market - prices change rapidly, so there might be some difference between the price you submit and where the trade executes, even if that only takes a second or so. Slippage is a setting (expressed in a percentage) of how much of a difference you will accept, if needed. In most cases, this difference will change the amount of tokens you receive, but in the case of some launchpads, the price paid in SOL will change instead.
