This step controls how much price movement you’re willing to accept when a copied trade is executed. It decides how flexible PolyGun should be if the market price changes quickly. Step 6 of 7
🎯 What this step does
Slippage tolerance defines the maximum difference between the price you expect and the price your trade is actually filled at.
Markets can move fast. If the price shifts too much:
With low tolerance, the trade is skipped
With higher tolerance, the trade still goes through
This setting balances execution success vs price protection.
⚙️ Available options
You can choose a preset percentage:
1%
2%
5%
10%
Or type your own value:
Example: 12 or 12%
Special modes:
🎯 Exact Price
Only execute if the price is exactly what the trader entered. No slippage allowed. Safest, but trades may fail more often.
⚡ Any Price
Execute regardless of price movement. Maximum flexibility. Highest risk.

⚠️ Important notes
Low slippage = safer pricing, fewer filled trades
High slippage = more filled trades, worse pricing risk
Exact Price is strict and may miss many entries
Any Price removes price protection entirely
💡 Good to know
Use lower slippage in stable markets
Use slightly higher slippage in fast-moving or volatile markets
Combine with price range for best protection
Good rule of thumb
0.5%
Best for deep, liquid markets.
Clean execution with minimal price impact.
1%
More aggressive, but still solid for most markets.
Good balance between fills and price quality.
2% or more
Use when you’re trading bigger size or the market is thin
Just understand you’re accepting worse execution to make sure the trade goes through.
