Axiom

Settings that match the job

Three presets for axiom.trade. Numbers are starting points an admin can edit. They are not a promise of fills, and they are not advice.

Sniping new launches

For the first minutes of a mint, when the pool is thin and every retry costs you the entry. These are starting points, not a promise you will get filled.

Slippage: 20%; A new pool can move several percent between the click and the landing. Too tight and the swap reverts after you already paid the fee. Too loose and you buy the top of your own candle. 15 to 25 percent is the usual snipe window on Axiom.
Priority fee: 0.003 SOL; This is the compute fee you pay the validator so your transaction is ordered sooner. Snipes are a queue. The default fee is how you watch someone else get the fill.
Bribe / Jito tip: 0.01 SOL; The tip pays a block engine to include your transaction in a bundle. It does not make a bad coin good. It only raises the chance you land at all while the network is fighting over the same mint.
MEV protection: On; Bundles hide the buy from sandwich bots that would otherwise wrap your swap and dump into you. On a fresh mint an unprotected market order is an invitation.
Take profit: Sell 40% at 2x, 30% at 5x, leave 30%; Scaling out pays the risk even when the runner dies. The leftover is a moonbag, not a plan. Auto-sell only works if the transaction can land, so pair it with a fee that is still high enough after the launch cools.
Stop loss: -35%; Tight stops get wicked out on launches and you rebuy higher. A wide stop, or a manual invalidation when the dev sells or liquidity pulls, is more honest. This preset uses a wide stop so one wick does not eject you.
Position size: 0.5% of bankroll; Most launches go to zero. Half a percent means a total loss is annoying, not a story you tell for a year. If you need the trade to work, the size is already wrong.

Swing trading established memes

For coins that already have a pool, a chart, and enough liquidity that you are not the entire market.

Slippage: 2%; A liquid pair should not need a double-digit slippage setting. Two percent leaves room for a normal candle without handing a bot a blank check. If the swap will not fill, the pool is thinner than you thought.
Priority fee: 0.0005 SOL; You are not racing a launch. A modest priority fee gets you into the next few slots without lighting SOL on fire every time you scale out.
Bribe / Jito tip: 0, or 0.001 SOL if slots are packed; Tips matter when the chain is congested or your size is large enough to be sandwiched. On a quiet swing they are optional. Turn one on when transactions start expiring, not by habit.
MEV protection: On above about 1 SOL; Small clips are rarely worth a sandwich. Larger clips are. Protection costs a bit of speed and saves you from paying the spread to a bot.
Take profit: 25% off at +30%, 25% at +60%, trail the rest; Memes give back gains faster than they make them. Selling a quarter into strength means the trade can fail later and still have been worth taking. Trailing the rest is how you stay in a real trend without inventing a new target every hour.
Stop loss: -18% from entry; An 18 percent stop is wide enough for ordinary noise on a liquid meme and tight enough that a failed idea does not become a bag. Move it only when the structure changes, not because you are bored.
Position size: 2% of bankroll; Two percent lets a winner matter and keeps a stopped trade inside a normal week. If the coin is your whole personality, you sized it like a snipe and labeled it a swing.

Safe / low-risk

The slow setting. Still not safe. Memecoins can go to zero with perfect settings. This preset just refuses to hurry.

Slippage: 0.8%; If a coin cannot fill inside one percent, you are the liquidity. Skip it. Low slippage is a filter, not a trick to get a better price.
Priority fee: 0.0001 SOL or the wallet default; You are not sniping. Paying up for the next slot just means you arrive at a bad price faster. Use a default fee and let the transaction land when it lands.
Bribe / Jito tip: Off; A tip is a cost you pay to jump a queue. This preset does not jump queues. If the network is so busy that nothing lands, you wait. Waiting is the feature.
MEV protection: On; Turn it on and leave it. There is no size at which you want a bot trading around you when the goal is to not bleed.
Take profit: +12% sell half, +25% sell the rest; Small targets get hit. They will feel boring next to a screenshot of a 20x. Boring is how a low-risk book stays solvent. Auto-sell both levels so you do not renegotiate with yourself.
Stop loss: -8% hard; Eight percent is a real stop. If the wick hunts it, the setup was too tight for a meme and you learned that for the price of eight percent, not forty. Do not widen it after you are already in.
Position size: 1% of bankroll, liquid pairs only; One percent, and only where liquidity is several times your size so your own sell does not be the crash. If mint or freeze authority is still live, this preset does not apply. You are not in a low-risk trade.
