Technical Documentation
This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of every input parameter and setting within the PumpTrader desktop application — the premier Pump.fun trading bot and Solana sniper. Understanding these values is critical for building a profitable trading strategy.
1. Entry Filters (Signal Radar)
These filters define the conditions a token must meet to be picked up by the Signal Radar. Only tokens passing ALL active filters will trigger a trade candidate.
Defines the required liquidity pool size at the moment of the signal.
• Min Liquidity: Minimum pool size. Setting this too low increases rug-pull and high slippage risk.
• Max Liquidity: Optional upper limit. High liquidity often means lower volatility and slower price movement.
Defines the absolute 24-hour trading volume in USD at the moment of the signal.
• Min Volume 24h ($): Prevents entering highly inactive/dead tokens.
• Max Volume 24h ($): Helps filter out hyper-mature or overheated tokens.
The age of the token pair since creation.
• Min Age: Prevents buying bundle attacks or wash-traded tokens. (Recommended: >0.15h).
• Max Age: Focuses the bot on new tokens. Leave empty for no upper limit.
Price momentum over the last 5 minutes or 1 hour.
• Min Change: Ensures the token is currently trending upward.
• Max Change: Prevents buying the top of a token that has already pumped excessively.
A health metric comparing 24h volume to current liquidity. A very high VL ratio (>5.0) may signal either viral growth or inorganic manipulation/wash trading.
Composite confidence score. Higher scores indicate stronger signals, but extreme scores may indicate pump manipulation. Recommended: 65-95.
• Top-10 Hold (Min/Max): Filters tokens based on top 10 holders' supply concentration.
• Dev Balance (Min/Max): Filters based on the largest single holder's percentage.
• Holder Count (Min/Max): Ensures the token has a diverse holder base.
2. Strategy Parameters
Settings that control position sizing, capital allocation, and transaction execution.
Your virtual starting wallet balance for Paper Trading. Used for ROI calculations and session stop-loss checks.
The fixed SOL amount spent on every buy order. Ensure this is small enough relative to balance to allow multiple concurrent trades.
Max tokens held simultaneously. Bot ignores new signals once reached until a position is closed.
The primary full take-profit target percentage. Once a token's price increases by this percentage relative to your entry price, the bot immediately triggers a market sell order to close the entire position.
3. Risk Management
Safety protocols designed to protect your capital from market crashes and session-level volatility.
Session-level safety switches.
• Stop Loss: Shuts down if total balance drops by this %.
• Take Profit: Shuts down if target session gain is reached.
Immediate sell trigger if token price drops this % from entry. Your primary line of defense.
• Cooldown: Wait time before re-buying the same token.
• Time Exit: Force-close position if no profit is reached within this duration.
4. Exit Logic (Take Profit)
PumpTrader uses advanced multi-stage exit logic to maximize gains while securing profits early.
• Activation: Profit % where trailing stop becomes active.
• Distance: Allowed drop from peak before triggering sell.
Allows selling a fraction (Ratio) of your position at a specific target (%) to secure gains while letting the rest run.
• Exhaustion Min: Profit required before stall tracking starts.
• Stall: Seconds without a new high before selling.
5. System Integrations
Connection settings required for the bot to communicate with the blockchain and notification services.

Allows the bot to send real-time trade alerts (Buy, Sell, PnL) directly to your Telegram account.
