Automated limit orders are a powerful tool for traders seeking precision and efficiency in decentralized markets. By setting specific price points, you can buy or sell tokens automatically when market conditions align—without needing to monitor charts 24/7. This guide walks you through every step of creating and managing automated limit orders using the DBot trading platform, ensuring your strategy remains both secure and effective.
Whether you're trading on Ethereum, Solana, or Binance Smart Chain, understanding how to configure parameters like slippage, gas fees, and execution modes is crucial for optimal performance. Let’s dive into the process.
Creating a New Limit Order Task
To begin, navigate to the DBot dashboard and select Bot – Limit Order. Click the “New” button in the top-right corner to start setting up your automated trade.
This interface allows you to define precise conditions under which your buy or sell order will execute. You can create both limit buy and limit sell orders simultaneously—or disable either based on your current strategy.
Configuring Your Trading Parameters
Each setting plays a vital role in determining the success and safety of your transaction. Below is a breakdown of all key configuration options.
1. Basic Settings
Token/Pair Contract Address
Enter the contract address of the token pair you wish to trade. Once input, DBot automatically runs a token safety check, analyzing critical factors such as:
- Whether the token has貔貅 (貔貅 refers to suspicious ownership controls)
- Liquidity pool burn status
- Minting capabilities
- Wallet freezing permissions
- Top 10 holder distribution
This real-time audit helps protect against scams and rug pulls.
My Wallet
Select the wallet connected to DBot that will be used for executing purchases or sales. Ensure it holds sufficient balance in ETH, SOL, or BNB depending on the network.
2. Buy & Sell Configuration
These settings allow granular control over entry and exit points.
Buy Price
Set the exact price at which you want to purchase the token.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the built-in Price Calculator (available after entering the contract address) to base your limit order on market cap or percentage price change.
Buy Amount
Specify how much ETH/SOL/BNB you’d like to allocate for the purchase.
Expiration Time
Define how long the order remains active. After this period, unexecuted orders expire automatically.
Auto Buy at Expiry
Enable this if you want the bot to execute the purchase even if the target price wasn’t reached by expiration. Useful for catching early pumps.
Auto Sell at Expiry
Similar to Auto Buy, but for selling. If enabled and no trigger occurs, the bot sells your holdings at market price upon expiry.
Anti-Slippage (Anti-Wick)
When enabled, the system uses the median price within a 1-second window as the trigger point. This reduces false triggers caused by short-term price spikes (“wicks”), though it cannot guarantee 100% protection.

3. Execution & Speed Optimization
Speed matters—especially in volatile markets. These advanced options help ensure your trades go through fast and efficiently.
Priority Fee
This fee incentivizes validators or miners to prioritize your transaction. Higher fees mean faster confirmation.
⚠️ During high network congestion, consider switching from Auto Priority Fee (a cost-efficient default) to Custom Priority Fee for better control.
High-Speed Mode
In this mode, DBot splits your priority fee across multiple optimized routing channels. When combined with 0slot submission (available when total fee ≥ 0.0002 SOL), transactions are pushed with minimal latency.
- Default gas: 0.00005 SOL
- Remaining amount goes to 0slot channel
Ideal for time-sensitive trades like moonshots or new launches.
Bribery Fee
An optional extra payment directly to validators to further accelerate processing—especially useful on Solana where validator incentives play a big role.
Anti-Front Running Mode
Uses private mempool nodes to hide your transaction from public view before confirmation, reducing the risk of front-running bots detecting and exploiting your move.
Note: While privacy nodes improve security, final consensus still depends on global node agreement—so absolute protection isn't guaranteed.
4. Risk & Transaction Control
Fine-tune these settings to balance speed, cost, and execution reliability.
Slippage Tolerance
Controls how much deviation from your target price you're willing to accept:
- 50% slippage = up to 2x price difference
- 100% = no restriction
⚠️ High slippage increases risk of poor fills, especially with low-liquidity tokens.
📌 Pump and Moonshot tokens default to 50% max slippage but can be adjusted in Settings > General.
Gas Increment (Gwei)
Adds a fixed amount above the current average network gas. For example, if average gas is 20 Gwei and you set an increment of 5, your transaction uses 25 Gwei.
Max Gas (Gwei)
Sets an upper limit on gas spending. Transactions won’t proceed if required fees exceed this cap.
Retry Count
Determines how many times the bot retries after a failed attempt. Set to 0 for no retries.
Concurrent Nodes
Choose how many blockchain nodes broadcast your transaction simultaneously. More nodes increase chances of successful execution during peak traffic.
5. Sell Settings
Sell Price
The target price at which you'd like to sell your tokens.
Sell Percentage
Define what portion of your holdings to sell when triggered:
- 25% = quarter of balance
- 50% = half
- 100% = full position
Perfect for scaling out of positions gradually.
Managing Active Orders
Once saved, your limit order task is active by default but can be manually paused or stopped anytime.
Order Status Overview
- Active: Order is live and awaiting execution
- Completed: Trade successfully executed
- Expired: Failed to trigger before timeout
You can filter tasks by status for better organization.
Organizing with Limit Order Groups
For users managing multiple strategies or portfolios, custom grouping is available:
- Create named groups (e.g., “High-Risk Moonshots”, “Blue-Chip Accumulation”)
- Filter tasks by group
- Perform bulk actions: one-click close or delete
Also supports:
- Batch disabling of tasks
- Mass deletion for cleanup

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use limit orders for both buying and selling at the same time?
A: Yes. You can configure simultaneous buy and sell triggers, allowing full-cycle automation from entry to exit.
Q: How does anti-wick protection work?
A: It uses median pricing over a 1-second interval to avoid triggering on brief price spikes. While highly effective, extreme volatility may still cause unexpected executions.
Q: Is high-speed mode only available on Solana?
A: Currently, features like 0slot and bribery fees are optimized for Solana due to its validator incentive model, but similar speed enhancements exist across other chains.
Q: What happens if my wallet doesn’t have enough funds?
A: The order will remain queued until funds are available—but if it expires before then, it will fail silently. Always verify balances beforehand.
Q: Can I modify an order after creation?
A: Yes. Edit any active task except its contract address. Changes apply immediately unless disabled first.
Q: Does DBot support limit orders for new token launches?
A: Absolutely. Combined with fast execution modes and token safety checks, it's ideal for participating in fair launches and presales securely.
