Sumo
Getting started

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.

Trading Configuration

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.

Default Instant Buy / Sell Settings

Configure up to 3 presets each for instant buy and instant sell. Each preset defines a min and max USD amount for quick one-click execution from the dashboard.

PresetDefault MinDefault Max
Preset 1$100$300
Preset 2$300$500
Preset 3$500$700

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 for both Counter Buy Into Sell and Sell Into Buy strategies:

SettingDescription
Trigger Min ($)Minimum external trade size (USD) that triggers a counter trade
Trigger Max ($)Maximum external trade size to counter (leave empty for no cap)
Max Counter ($)Maximum USD amount for a single counter trade
Counter Amount (%)Percentage of the detected trade to counter
MEV ExclusionWhen enabled, automatically excludes known MEV bot wallets from triggering counter trades

Default DCA Settings

Defaults for both DCA Buy and DCA Sell strategies:

SettingDescription
Default Trade Size ($)USD 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.
