# What's the Pump.fun slippage and how to configure it?

OdinBot calculates the token price from the most recent on-chain updates, then includes your slippage tolerance when setting up the transaction. If later trades push the price above your slippage limit before the transaction settles, the trade will fail. If the price stays within your limit, the trade goes through successfully.

**Note:** If many people are buying at the same time, the price can jump quickly.

For examples of wallets that often create large price spikes, and may require a higher slippage percentage, please follow this guide:

## What's the best way to configure slippage settings?

* **Weigh Risk vs. Reward:** A higher slippage setting helps you enter highly volatile trades, but it can also make you pay more.
* **Observe Your Mirror:** Look at how much the price changes right after your mirror trades. Adjust your slippage based on that.

## When to configure a high slippage?

* **Early Bonding Curve:** Tokens early in their bonding curve can have big price spikes.
* **Heavily Copy-Traded Wallets:** If the wallet you mirror is heavily copy-traded, the sudden demand can raise prices quickly.
