🎯 Features & Configuration
⚡ Trench Mode (1-Click & Forget)
What it does: Trench Mode is the fastest onboarding flow. One tap auto-configures your bot based on your deployer balance, funds the correct number of wallets, and starts trading automatically.
- Detect Balance: reads deployer SOL balance
- Choose Preset: picks the best preset for your available SOL
- Choose Wallet Count: uses a sensible wallet count for your balance
- Distribute: spreads SOL evenly across wallets (keeps a reserve)
- Auto Start: launches trading immediately after distribution
How to Use Trench Mode
1) Wallets → Generate wallets (10+)
2) Fund deployer with SOL (≥ 0.40 SOL)
3) Token → Paste your mint address
4) Main Menu → ⚡ Trench Mode
5) Review the preview (preset + wallets + per-wallet amount)
6) Tap "⚡ LET'S GO!" → VOLTA distributes + starts trading
- Bot must be stopped. If it's already running, stop it first.
- Token must be set (Mint address required).
- Minimum deployer balance: ~0.40 SOL (Micro baseline).
What the Preview Shows
- Auto-Preset: selected preset name (Micro/Small/Medium/Large/Aggressive)
- Wallets: how many wallets will be funded
- Per Wallet: approximate SOL per wallet after reserve
- Preset Settings: buy range, cycle time, sell fraction, slippage, and toggles (Moon/Crash/Smart)
Most users fail at setup because they miss one step (wrong preset, no distribution, too many wallets, etc.). Trench Mode removes that friction by picking a safe, balance-aware configuration automatically.

🧠 Smart Trading Mode
What it does: Smart Trading Mode is VOLTA's momentum-aware trading engine. Instead of blindly alternating buy/sell per wallet, it reads market conditions and adapts its behavior in real time — buying aggressively during pumps, selling hard during dumps, and protecting capital with trailing stops and profit targets.
Smart Trading Mode was designed after analyzing real trade data showing bots losing money by buying into crashes and selling too little at peaks. It solves five critical problems at once.
How It Works
Every cycle, the Smart Engine tracks the token price, computes a moving average over a configurable window, and classifies the market into one of three trend states:
| Trend | Indicator | Buy Probability | Sell Probability | Sell Fraction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 📈 ACCUMULATE (rising) | Price > 2% above MA | 85% | 15% | 15% (let winners ride) |
| 📉 DISTRIBUTE (falling) | Price > 2% below MA | 10% | 90% | 80% (protect capital) |
| ↔️ NEUTRAL (sideways) | Within ±2% of MA | 55% | 45% | 35% (standard) |
Key Features
- Trend Detection: Computes price momentum using a rolling moving average (configurable window size). Classifies into ACCUMULATE, DISTRIBUTE, or NEUTRAL.
- Adaptive Sell Fractions: Sells only 15% during pumps (to let profits run) but 80% during dumps (to preserve capital). No more fixed 35% regardless of market conditions.
- Trailing Stop: Tracks peak portfolio NAV (Net Asset Value). If NAV drops 15% from the peak, the engine triggers a full dump across all wallets to lock in gains.
- Profit Target: Automatically exits when NAV gains reach a configurable target (default: +50%). Takes profits at the right time instead of riding back down.
- Consecutive Down Protection: After 4 consecutive price drops in a row, the engine switches to sell-only mode until a recovery is detected.
Smart Trading vs Standard Mode
| Scenario | Standard Mode | 🧠 Smart Trading Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Price pumping +100% | Buys & sells equally (wastes upside) | 85% buy, 15% sell (rides the pump) |
| Price crashing -50% | Keeps buying into crash (bleeds SOL) | 90% sell, 10% buy (exits fast) |
| At the peak | Sells 35% (tiny exit) | Trailing stop dumps 95% if peak drops 15% |
| Slow bleed down | No detection (keeps trading) | 4 consecutive drops → sell-only mode |
| Hit profit target | No auto-exit | Auto-dumps at +50% NAV gain |
Configuration
Smart Trading Mode is enabled by default. All parameters are tunable via Settings → Advanced Config without restarting:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
smart_mode | true | Enable/disable Smart Trading Mode |
trend_window | 5 | Number of price samples for moving average |
trailing_stop_pct | 0.15 | Dump threshold: 15% drop from peak NAV |
profit_target_pct | 0.50 | Auto-exit at 50% NAV gain |
sell_fraction_pump | 0.15 | Sell only 15% during uptrend |
sell_fraction_dump | 0.80 | Sell 80% during downtrend |
consecutive_down_limit | 4 | Consecutive drops before sell-only mode |
Log Indicators
When Smart Trading is active, you'll see trend indicators in the bot logs:
📈 Smart: trend=ACCUMULATE momentum=+13.5% downs=0 sell_frac=15%
↔️ Smart: trend=NEUTRAL momentum=+0.2% downs=0 sell_frac=35%
📉 Smart: trend=DISTRIBUTE momentum=-8.5% downs=2 sell_frac=80%
🛑 SMART DUMP (trailing stop/profit target) — wallet 3
- Smart Trading Mode works alongside Moon Mode and Crash Protection — they complement each other.
- Moon Mode handles progressive profit-taking at fixed price milestones.
- Smart Trading handles real-time trend adaptation cycle-by-cycle.
- Crash Protection handles sudden catastrophic drops.
- To disable: set
smart_mode=falsein Advanced Config.
Toggle: Settings → Advanced Config → smart_mode=true/false
Moon Mode 🌙
What it does: progressively takes profits as price increases.
| Price Increase | Action |
|---|---|
| +25% | Sell 10% of holdings |
| +50% | Sell 15% of holdings |
| +100% | Sell 20% of holdings |
| +200% | Sell 25% of holdings |
| +500% | Sell 30% of holdings |
- Locks in gains during pumps
- Maintains exposure for further upside
- Requires minimal monitoring
Toggle: Settings → Moon Mode ON/OFF
Crash Protection 🛡️
What it does: detects severe adverse moves and can reduce exposure. If a crash is detected while the bot is running, the bot will automatically stop trading to prevent further losses.
Detection Signals (example)
- Gap drop: >15% in a single transaction
- Peak drawdown: >20% from local peak
- Velocity crash: >10% in 5 seconds
- Accelerating drops: 3+ consecutive negative ticks
| Score | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0–29 | OK | Continue trading |
| 30–49 | WARNING | Monitor closely |
| 50–69 | CRITICAL | Prepare to exit |
| 70+ | EMERGENCY | Auto-stop bot, reduce exposure aggressively |
When crash protection reaches EMERGENCY level, the bot automatically stops trading to prevent further losses. You'll receive a notification in Telegram. Review the situation and restart manually when ready.
Toggle: Settings → Crash Protection ON/OFF
🛡️ Jito MEV Protection
What it does: All VOLTA transactions are sent through Jito's MEV-protected bundle system, shielding your trades from sandwich attacks and front-running bots.
- Sandwich Protection: Prevents bots from front-running your buys and dumping after
- Bundle Submission: Transactions are submitted as Jito bundles, not to the public mempool
- Priority Tips: Small Jito tips ensure fast inclusion by validators
- No Configuration Needed: MEV protection is enabled automatically on all transactions
Without MEV protection, trading bots on Solana are vulnerable to sandwich attacks where a bot detects your pending buy, buys first to push the price up, then sells after you — costing you money on every trade. Jito bundles eliminate this by keeping your transaction private until it's confirmed.
Status: Always active. No configuration required.

- Spreads operational risk across wallets
- Allows configurable pacing across the set
- Improves resilience if individual wallets encounter issues
Smart Trading Fine-Tuning
For advanced users who want to customize Smart Trading behavior beyond the defaults:
- Tighter trailing stop (e.g.
trailing_stop_pct=0.10): exits earlier, locks in more profit but may trigger on normal dips - Wider trailing stop (e.g.
trailing_stop_pct=0.25): gives more room for recovery but risks larger drawdown - Lower profit target (e.g.
profit_target_pct=0.25): takes smaller profits more often - Larger trend window (e.g.
trend_window=10): slower trend detection, fewer false signals, but slower to react

3. If deployer is empty:
- Send SOL to deployer
- Then distribute
- Micro (10 wallets): ~0.4 SOL
- Small (25 wallets): ~1.0 SOL
- Medium (50 wallets): ~2.0 SOL
❌ "Trading wallets not funded"
Cause: deployer funded but distribution not executed.
1. Click "Distribute"
2. Review plan
3. Click "Confirm"
4. Wait 2-5 minutes
5. Try "Start" again
⚠️ "Bot Already Running"

- Click "Status" to check current config
Option 2: Stop and reconfigure
- Click "Stop" and wait for confirmation
- Make changes
- Click "Start"
⚡ Trench Mode: "Stop the bot first"
Cause: Trench Mode requires the bot to be stopped so it can safely apply a preset, distribute SOL, and start trading.
1. Click "🛑 Stop"
2. Wait for "✅ Stopped"
3. Click "⚡ Trench Mode"
4. Confirm "⚡ LET'S GO!"
⚡ Trench Mode: "No Deployer Wallet"
Cause: you haven't generated wallets yet.
1. Click "🔐 Wallets"
2. Click "Generate Wallets"
3. Return to "⚡ Trench Mode"
⚡ Trench Mode: "No Token Set"
Cause: token mint not configured.
1. Click "🪙 Token"
2. Paste the mint address
3. Return to "⚡ Trench Mode"
⚡ Trench Mode: "Insufficient Balance"
Cause: deployer SOL balance is below the minimum threshold for safe distribution and Micro preset operation.
Minimum: ~0.40 SOL on deployer
Fix:
1) Send SOL to deployer
2) Retry "⚡ Trench Mode"
⚠️ "Insufficient Funding for preset"
Option 1: Add funds
- Send more SOL to deployer
- Distribute
- Retry preset
Option 2: Choose a smaller preset
- Presets → select affordable option
🧠 Smart Trading: "trend=DISTRIBUTE" but I want to keep buying
Cause: the Smart Engine detected a downtrend and reduced buying. This is intentional — it protects your SOL.
Option 1: Wait for recovery
- The engine auto-detects when the trend reverses
Option 2: Disable Smart Trading
- Settings → Advanced Config → smart_mode=false
- The bot returns to standard alternating buy/sell mode
Option 3: Adjust sensitivity
- Settings → trend_window=10 (slower detection)
- Settings → trailing_stop_pct=0.25 (wider tolerance)
🧠 Smart Trading: Trailing stop triggered unexpectedly
Cause: portfolio value dropped 15%+ from its peak. This is a safety mechanism.
- Review the logs for the 🛑 SMART DUMP message
- Check if the token genuinely dropped or if it was a brief dip
- To widen the stop: set
trailing_stop_pct=0.20or0.25 - After a trailing stop, restart the bot to begin a new trading session
🔴 Bot stopped unexpectedly
- Ran out of SOL: add SOL and redistribute, then restart.
- RPC issues: wait briefly; if persistent, stop and start.
- Crash protection triggered: review status and market conditions. The bot auto-stops when a crash is detected.
- Smart Trading trailing stop: the engine exited to protect profits. Review PnL and restart when ready.
🔴 Transactions failing
1) Increase slippage:
/setslippage 500
2) Verify wallets have SOL:
- Check "Status"
- Redistribute if needed
3) Check liquidity:
- Very low liquidity can cause failures
💾 "Cannot change token while running"
1. Click "Stop"
2. Wait for "✅ Stopped"
3. Click "Token"
4. Paste new address
5. Click "Start"
🔄 Distribution taking too long
Normal: 2–5 minutes for 10–50 wallets.
- Wait; transactions may be queued.
- Check Status periodically.
- If still stuck after ~15 minutes, contact support.
🎁 Creator Rewards: "Cannot Claim Yet"
Cause: Unclaimed balance below 0.5 SOL threshold.
- Your creator vault doesn't have enough accumulated fees
- Possible reasons: no token launched from this wallet, rewards already claimed, or token hasn't generated enough trading volume
- Wait for more trading activity to generate fees
🎁 Creator Rewards: Wallet not recognized
Cause: Imported wallet isn't a pump.fun creator wallet.
- Verify this is the exact wallet that launched your token on pump.fun
- Check that you're importing the correct private key format
- The wallet must have launched at least one token on pump.fun
📞 When to Contact Support
- Bot won't start after troubleshooting.
- Distribution failed and funds appear missing.
- Critical bug or security concern.
Include: Telegram username, timestamp, screenshots, transaction signatures, and what you attempted.
❓ FAQ
General Questions
Q: Is VOLTA really free?
A: Yes! VOLTA is completely free to use. There are no subscription fees, no monthly charges, and no hidden costs. You only need trading capital (SOL) to fund your wallets for trading. By using VOLTA you agree to our Terms & Conditions.
Q: Is my SOL safe?
A: Use standard precautions:
- Wallets encrypted in the database.
- Private keys should never be shared.
- Secure your Telegram account (2FA recommended).
- All transactions are MEV-protected via Jito bundles.
Q: Can I trade multiple tokens?
1. Stop bot
2. Change token address
3. Start bot again
Q: Can I run multiple bots simultaneously?
A: Typically one bot per user at a time.
Smart Trading Questions
Q: What is Smart Trading Mode?
A: It's a momentum-aware engine that reads market trends in real time and adapts buy/sell behavior. During pumps it buys aggressively and sells small amounts; during dumps it stops buying and sells hard to protect capital. It includes trailing stops and profit targets.
Q: Can I disable Smart Trading Mode?
A: Yes. Set smart_mode=false in Settings → Advanced Config. The bot reverts to standard alternating buy/sell logic.
Q: Will Smart Trading guarantee profits?
A: No. Smart Trading significantly reduces losses from buying into crashes and missing sell opportunities, but no trading system can guarantee profits. Cryptocurrency trading is inherently risky.
Q: What happens when the trailing stop triggers?
A: The engine dumps 95% of tokens across all wallets to lock in remaining value. The bot continues running but enters a protective state. You can restart to begin a new trading session.
Trading Strategy Questions
Q: How often should the bot trade?
- Micro (180s): low fees, moderate activity
- Medium (120s): balanced
- Aggressive (60s): high activity, higher fees
Recommendation: start Micro, increase after observing performance and costs.
Q: Should I use Moon Mode?
A: Often yes, if your goal is disciplined profit-taking during upward moves.
Q: Should I use Crash Protection?
A: Generally recommended to reduce exposure during sharp adverse moves.
Q: How much SOL will I use in gas fees?

Creator Rewards Questions
Q: What is the 0.5% VOLTA buyback & burn?
A: Every time you claim creator rewards, 0.5% is automatically deducted and used to buy & burn VOLTA tokens. This supports the VOLTA ecosystem. You receive 99.5% of your claimed rewards.
Q: What's the minimum amount to claim?
A: 0.5 SOL. Your creator vault must accumulate at least 0.5 SOL before you can claim.
Q: Is Creator Mode required to use VOLTA?
A: No. Creator Mode is only for token creators who want to claim pump.fun fees. Regular traders should use the default Trader Mode.
Q: Can I use both trading features and Creator Rewards?
A: Yes! Creator Mode includes all Trader Mode features plus Creator Rewards. You can trade and claim creator fees simultaneously.
Q: What happens to my distribution settings if I switch modes?
A: Your settings are preserved. Switching between Trader and Creator mode doesn't affect your configured distribution percentages.
Technical Questions
Q: What blockchains does VOLTA support?
A: Solana only (current).
Q: What DEXs does VOLTA trade on?
A: Pump.fun (primary), using Jupiter for routing. All swaps are MEV-protected via Jito bundles.
Q: Can I see transaction history?
- In-bot summary via Status (includes PnL)
- Full transaction log with signatures in the database
- On-chain explorers (Solscan) using wallet addresses or transaction signatures
- Dashboard analytics (coming soon)
📈 Best Practices
1) Start Small, Scale Up
Day 1: Micro preset, 10 wallets, 0.5 SOL
Day 2: Monitor performance and PnL, adjust if needed
Day 3: Scale to Small preset if comfortable
Week 2: Scale to Medium if profitable
2) Monitor Regularly (First 24 Hours)
- Check status every 2–4 hours
- Watch the PnL indicator — is the bot making or losing?
- Watch for transaction failures
- Track SOL depletion rate
- Check Smart Trading trend indicators in logs
- Adjust slippage if needed
3) Keep Reserves
- Keep a buffer in deployer for retries and fee spikes (example: 0.05+ SOL).
4) Use Appropriate Presets
| Token Liquidity | Recommended Preset |
|---|---|
| < $1K | Micro only |
| $1K – $5K | Micro or Small |
| $5K – $20K | Small or Medium |
| $20K – $100K | Medium or Large |
| > $100K | Any preset |
5) Let Smart Trading Do Its Job
- Don't disable Smart Trading just because the bot is skipping buys — it's protecting your capital during a downtrend
- If the trailing stop fires, review PnL before restarting — it likely saved you from a larger loss
- Adjust
trailing_stop_pctandprofit_target_pctbased on token volatility
6) Security
- Enable Telegram 2FA
- Avoid sharing wallet screenshots publicly
- Use a dedicated funding wallet (not your main wallet)
- Withdraw profits periodically
7) When to Stop
- Liquidity deteriorates significantly
- You achieved your target activity/coverage
- You need to change tokens
- Smart Trading trailing stop triggered (review before restarting)
8) Creator Rewards Best Practices
- Set distribution before your first claim
- Consider burn strategy for long-term token value
- Monitor your creator vault balance periodically
- Use auto-claim if you want hands-off fee collection
🎓 Pro Tips
Tip 1: Ladder Your Entry
Instead of: 2.0 SOL at once
Do: 0.5 SOL → test → 1.0 SOL → verify → 2.0 SOL
Tip 2: Different Presets for Different Phases
Early launch: Higher activity preset (if liquidity supports it)
Mid-growth: Balanced preset
Maturity: Small/Micro to reduce costs
Tip 3: Smart Trading Config by Token Type
Volatile memecoins: trailing_stop_pct=0.15 profit_target_pct=0.30
→ Tight stops, quick profits
Steady tokens: trailing_stop_pct=0.25 profit_target_pct=0.75
→ More room to ride, higher targets
Pump.fun launches: sell_fraction_dump=0.90 consecutive_down_limit=3
→ Aggressive protection against rug pulls
Tip 4: Save Successful Configs
1. Screenshot settings
2. Note performance and cost profile
3. Reuse for similar market conditions
Tip 5: Creator Rewards Strategy
Early token: 0 50 50 → Heavy buyback + burn for price support
Growing token: 30 35 35 → Balanced approach
Mature token: 50 25 25 → Take more profits as SOL
