Limits and safety
Your limits are enforced on your server, by the bot itself, at the moment it buys or sells. They don't depend on the web app being open, on your phone, or on AllenHark.
The limits you set
| Limit | What it does | When it's on |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | Never more than this much SOL in open trades at once, across every launchpad. A buy that would go over is skipped. | Optional. Off until you set it. |
| Daily loss limit | Once today's closed trades have lost this much, buying stops until midnight (your local time). Selling carries on. | Optional. Off until you set it. |
| Stop loss | A token that falls this far below what the bot paid is sold in full. | On every bot that holds tokens; see Stop loss on each bot. |
| Most tokens at once | The bot holds at most this many tokens; set by your Style. | Always. |
| Spend per token | Each buy costs this much. With a budget, at most a quarter of it. | Always. |
These are the limits of the bots that buy and hold tokens. The Solana Arbitrage Bot holds none, so it has its own limits.
Stop loss on each bot
| Bot | Stop loss |
|---|---|
| Solana Block-0 Sniper | On from the start (−30 % on the Balanced starter). Simple keeps it between 1 and 99; in Expert settings, 0 turns it off for a launchpad or for all of them. |
| Solana Momentum Sniper | Always on; it can't be turned off. Its rug checks can sell before the stop loss is reached. |
| Solana Graduation, MC Breakout and Dip Snipers | Always on; the widest it goes is −99 %. |
| Solana Wallet Copy Trader | One of your Exits, a list checked in order. The starters and Simple put a stop loss in it; in Expert settings you can remove it, so check your exits if you edit them by hand. |
| Solana Arbitrage Bot | None: no token is held between trades. Each trade fails instead of landing under your minimum profit. |
Strategy shows the worst case for your settings as one number, "Max at risk", the most SOL that can be in trades at once. Without a budget the app says so plainly: "No limit on how much can be in trades (set a budget)".
A stop loss is not a guarantee of the price you get. A new token can drop a long way between two price updates, and a token can be impossible to sell at all (a rug). The stop loss limits most losses; it can't limit all of them. See the risk disclosure.
The Solana Arbitrage Bot's limits
Every round trip starts and ends in SOL in one transaction, so there is no budget, stop loss or open position to manage. Instead:
- Minimum profit per trade is written into each transaction: it fails rather than land with less, and a failed trade costs only its network and priority fee.
- Per-trade cap: the most SOL one round trip puts in.
- Fees and tips per day at most and Failed trades' fees per day at most: trading stops for the day once either is reached. Off (0) to start with.
- Trades per minute at most.
- Stop after this many failed trades in a row: trading stops until you start the bot again. Off (0) to start with.
You set them within the ceilings your plan allows. See Solana Arbitrage Bot.
Pausing and stopping
Every bot page has Pause buying as its main action. Stop sits in the "⋯" menu, so it can't be pressed by accident.
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Pause buying | The bot stops buying and keeps managing what it holds: stop loss, take profit and the rest still run. Resume any time. |
| Stop and sell everything | The bot sells every open position at the market price, then stops. Asks you to confirm. |
| Stop and keep tokens | The bot stops. Tokens stay in your wallet and show under Tokens held, where you can sell each one, or hand it back to the bot when you start it again. |
Pause all, at the top of every page, offers the same three choices for every bot at once. Use it if you want everything to stop now.
The app also asks you to confirm before other big actions: going live, a budget above half of your wallet, and turning a launchpad on.
If your plan lapses
Nothing is cancelled behind your back, and nothing you own is destroyed. If a plan isn't renewed, it winds down in three steps. Billing, Home and your alerts show the exact dates in advance.
| When | What happens | What you can still do |
|---|---|---|
| Plan ends | Your bots stop buying. | Everything except new buys. |
| First 72 hours: only selling | The bots keep selling what they hold by your rules, so nothing is left unmanaged. | Sell by hand, withdraw, renew. Renewing starts buying again. |
| Then 7 days: trading stopped | The bots stop completely, including automatic selling. | Sell by hand and withdraw your SOL. Renew to start again. |
| After that: suspended | The server is suspended. It is never destroyed, and your wallet stays on it. | Renew, or contact us, to bring it back. |
Withdraw your SOL during the 7 days if you don't plan to renew. Because only your server holds the key, AllenHark can't send it to you.
You get an alert on Telegram or Discord before the plan ends, when buying stops, and when trading stops (if you connected alerts).
