Manual Scalping Tools

BozoBot includes powerful manual scalping tools that allow you to execute quick trades with precise control. While the bot excels at automated trading, these manual features give you the ability to respond to market opportunities in real-time.

Key Scalping Features​

Quick Sell Options​

BozoBot provides pre-configured sell percentage options for fast execution:

# Scalping
SCALPING_SELL_OPTIONS=10,25,50,75,90,100

These percentage values appear as quick-access options during trading, allowing you to sell specific portions of your position with a single command.

Quick Buy Options​

Similarly, you can configure quick buy amounts:

# Scalping
SCALPING_BUY_OPTIONS=0.01,0.025,0.05,0.1,0.25,0.5

These values represent SOL amounts that you can quickly deploy when you want to buy more of a token.
