**Go to the “Settings”** section in the bot’s main menu, then **tap “Slippage”** to set your custom slippage values.

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price.

A higher slippage increases the chance that your transaction will be confirmed faster — but it also raises the risk of MEV attacks such as frontrunning or sandwiching.\
💡 Setting slippage too low may cause your transaction to fail.

**Tap the** **Slippage** button to adjust your slippage tolerance separately for **buy** and **sell** transactions.
