🌊Slippage Tolerance

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.


🛠 How to complete this step

  1. Choose one of the preset percentages, or

  2. Type a custom percentage, or

  3. Select Exact Price or Any Price

Once selected, PolyGun moves you to the final step.


⚠️ 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.
