# When to use Min Slippage (%)?

This is an advanced setting that will cause your trade to fail if your executed slippage is too low.

Applies exclusively to spot Pump.fun copy buys on Instant buy mode.

How it works:

* **0% (Default):** The feature is turned off. OdinBot buys normally, jumping in right behind your mirror even if nobody else buys in between.
* **Above 0% (e.g., 1%):** You are telling OdinBot, "Let someone else buy first." If you are the very next person in line after your mirror and the price has not moved, OdinBot cancels the trade. The trade only goes through if someone else buys in between, raising the price just enough to hit your minimum.

#### Example Strategy: Avoiding the "Bait and Switch" Trap

* **Configuration:** Set Min Slippage to a moderate value (e.g., 0.5%) and utilize a strict maximum Pump.fun Slippage (%).
* **The Edge:** Malicious developers sometimes use insider wallets as bait to trigger copy-trading bots, immediately dumping on the very next buyer in the block. By enforcing a minimum slippage threshold, you ensure your bot is never the direct sequential buyer.
* **Protection:** Your trade will only execute if other bots or traders fall for the bait first, pushing the price up slightly and absorbing the initial risk of a trap before your OdinBot enters the position.

#### Example Strategy: Validating KOL Market Impact

* **Configuration:** Set Min Slippage to a higher threshold (e.g., 1.5%) alongside a wider Max Pump.fun Slippage (e.g., 15%).
* **The Edge:** When mirroring a influential caller, you only want exposure if their buy actually triggers a retail rush. If the KOL buys and the market ignores it, your slippage remains at 0% and the trade safely fails, protecting you from a dead play.
* **Protection:** The trade only executes if followers swarm the token immediately after the mirror, pushing the price up and confirming actual volume and momentum.
