Profile Settings
Configure slippage, strategy defaults, and MEV protection for your trading profile.
After creating your trading profile, you can configure default settings that apply across your strategies. These defaults save time when creating new strategies — you can always override them per-strategy.
Access profile settings from your profile page by clicking Settings in the navigation.
Settings are split into sections in the left pane. Each section can be edited independently and saved with Save Settings.
Trading Configuration
Trading Configuration controls profile routing, token metadata, and default execution behavior.
Routing fields such as Network, Pool DEX, Execution Provider, and Pool Address are editable only while the profile is in draft, pre-launch, or archived. Once a profile is active, token and route identity stays locked so strategies, reporting, and live trading remain consistent.
Read-only fields show the resolved base token, quote token, decimals, total supply, and circulating supply. Use Refresh Supply if the token supply metadata needs to be re-fetched.
Default Slippage (%)
Maximum slippage tolerance for trades, measured in basis points (bps) where 100 bps = 1%.
Individual strategies can override this default with their own slippage settings.
Slippage Warning
Too low — Trades will fail frequently, especially in volatile markets or low-liquidity pools.
Too high — You become an easy target for MEV bots (sandwich attacks), which profit by front-running your trades.
A range of 50–200 bps (0.5%–2%) works well for most tokens.
Trade with Native
When enabled, Sumo trades with the chain's native asset (SOL, ETH, BNB) instead of its wrapped version. Enabled by default.
Max Tx Retries
Number of times Sumo will retry a failed transaction before giving up. Default is 3.
Private Relay
For EVM profiles, private relay routes eligible trades through private execution paths for MEV protection.
Fee on Transfer
For EVM profiles, enable this when the traded token charges a transfer tax or similar fee.
Market Alerts
Market Alerts notify traders when market or social signals cross thresholds for the profile.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Alert Mode | Choose pump alerts, dump alerts, both directions, or off |
| Window (Minutes) | Rolling time window used to evaluate the alert |
| Price Move Threshold (%) | Price move required before an alert can trigger |
| Cooldown (Minutes) | Minimum time before another similar alert is sent |
| Min External Gross Volume ($) | External volume required inside the window before alerts fire |
| Social Alerts | Ingest qualified X posts for the token and notify traders when a cue matters |
The social link fields are read-only metadata resolved from token and pair sources. Use Refresh Socials to re-fetch them when the pool has updated metadata.
Default Instant Buy / Sell Settings
Configure up to 6 presets each for instant buy and instant sell. Each preset defines an asset plus min and max amounts for quick one-click execution from the live trading page.
Presets can be denominated in USD, quote/native asset, or the profile token. Use the six slots to create different trade-size bands for quick buys and quick sells.
When you trigger an instant trade, Sumo picks a random amount between the preset's min and max to make the trade less predictable on-chain.
Default Counter Trade Settings
Defaults are configured separately for Default Counter Buy Into Sell and Default Counter Sell Into Buy strategies:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger Asset | Asset used to express the trigger size, such as native, quote, token, or USD |
| Trigger Min | Minimum external trade size that triggers a counter trade |
| Trigger Max | Maximum external trade size to counter (leave empty for no cap) |
| Min Capture (%) | Minimum percentage of the detected trade to counter |
| Max Capture (%) | Maximum percentage of the detected trade to counter |
| MEV Exclusion | When enabled, automatically excludes known MEV bot wallets from triggering counter trades |
Default DCA Settings
Defaults for both DCA Buy and DCA Sell strategies:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Trade Asset | Asset used to express the per-trade amount, such as native, quote, token, or USD |
| Trade Amount | Amount per DCA trade |
| Interval (Seconds) | Time between each DCA trade |
| Timing Jitter (%) | Randomizes the interval by this percentage to make trade timing less predictable |
| Amount Jitter (%) | Randomizes the trade size by this percentage for the same reason |
MEV Wallet Blacklist
Manage wallets that should be ignored by your counter-trade strategies. This prevents your bot from counter-trading against known MEV bots or other wallets you want to exclude.
- Manual — Add wallet addresses directly, one per line
- Auto — Wallets added automatically by your counter-trade strategies over time as they detect MEV activity
The blacklist shows counts for manual, auto, and total blocked wallets.
