⚠️ Risk Warning: Trojan Bot is non-custodial and uses Solana wallets it generates (or that you import). Use a dedicated trading wallet only — never connect or import keys from a wallet that holds your main assets. Solana memecoin trading is extreme-risk territory; losses can happen in seconds. Only use capital you can afford to lose entirely. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
📋 How we built this settings guide: Pulled from the official Trojan documentation and the Trojan Terminal interface at trojan.com, cross-checked against Solana Trading Bots and Telegram Trading reporting for current Arena cashback tiers and BOLT execution claims, with practical settings derived from active testing on Pump.fun migrations during March–May 2026. Settings reflect Trojan’s May 2026 feature set including BOLT Pro, the Arena loyalty system, Hyperliquid perps integration, and the 5-layer referral program. Last verified May 15, 2026.
Trojan is the highest-volume Solana Telegram trading bot in 2026 — $25B+ in lifetime processed volume, 2M+ users, sub-2-second BOLT execution, and Arena cashback that can drop effective fees from 1% to around 0.55% at the Titan rank. It’s also the bot with the most settings to get wrong. Default Trojan with no tuning is fine; optimized Trojan with the right slippage, Jito tip, quick-buy presets, and copy-trading filters in place is meaningfully better. Here are the settings that actually matter, the values to use, and the trade-offs behind each one.
If you’re still deciding which bot to use, the BonkBot review and Banana Gun review cover the broader picture. This guide assumes you’ve picked Trojan and want to dial it in.

Setting-by-setting breakdown
Slippage — the most-broken setting on Solana
The single setting people get wrong most often. New Pump.fun launches need 15–20% slippage. Established tokens need 5–8%. The reason: brand-new launches have thin, volatile liquidity — by the time your transaction lands, the price has often moved 10%+ already. Low slippage means your transaction reverts; you pay gas, you get nothing, and the pump window closes. Higher slippage means your trade actually fills. Trojan’s default MEV protection (private mempool routing) reduces the sandwich-attack risk at 15–20% slippage that would otherwise make those numbers dangerous on an unprotected bot — that’s genuinely the case where Trojan’s infrastructure earns its keep.
Don’t set slippage above 25% — at that point you’re telling the bot “execute at any price.” For most established tokens, the right answer is 5–8%; for stable swaps (SOL ↔ USDC), 1–3% is enough.
Jito tip — calibrate to congestion
The Jito tip is what gets your transaction included in the next block during congestion. Standard cadence (most trades): 0.005–0.01 SOL. Competitive launches where hundreds of sniper bots are bidding for the same first block: 0.05–0.1 SOL. The math: 0.005 SOL costs you roughly $1 at SOL = $200; 0.1 SOL costs you $20. For a 0.1 SOL trade, paying 0.1 SOL in Jito tips is half the trade size and probably wrong; for a 5 SOL trade on a competitive launch, 0.1 SOL is reasonable.
Trojan’s MEV protection means you don’t need extreme tips just to avoid sandwiches the way you would on an unprotected bot. Tip for inclusion, not for protection.
BOLT Pro — the 50 SOL threshold
Trojan’s BOLT execution engine has two tiers. Standard BOLT delivers sub-2-second execution for everyone. BOLT Pro auto-activates when your trading wallet holds 50+ SOL, pushing execution to near-zero failed transactions even during peak congestion. This isn’t a fee — it’s a balance threshold. If you can park 50 SOL in your trading wallet (note: in your trading wallet, not your main wallet), you get the faster tier automatically. If you can’t, standard BOLT is still strong enough for almost everything.
One trade-off: keeping 50 SOL in a Telegram-connected wallet increases your blast radius if anything goes wrong. Decide whether the speed gain is worth the exposure.
Quick-buy presets — eliminate hesitation
Configure your three quick-buy buttons at 0.1 / 0.25 / 0.5 SOL for standard cadence. The point is to remove the moment of “wait, how much should I send?” during launches where seconds matter. Pick three sizes you’ve already decided are reasonable risks and let them sit there as one-taps. Don’t set any preset larger than you’d be okay losing on a single trade. If a 1 SOL one-tap loss would change how you feel about the day, your preset is too big.
Copy trading — filter aggressively
Trojan supports copy trading up to 10 wallets. Use 3–5. Quality over quantity — five well-filtered wallets generate far better signal than ten random ones. Filter criteria worth applying:
- Minimum 15 trades — anything less is just luck so far
- Minimum 7-day history — single-day moonshots aren’t edge
- Win rate above 50% — momentum, not gambling
- Average position size 0.5–5 SOL — too small means you’re copying a tester, too large means you can’t scale
Copy size: 10–20% of the source wallet’s trade. Setting a fixed SOL amount kills the signal — you want the source’s position sizing to inform yours proportionally. Set TP and SL filters per copied wallet so you exit on your terms, not theirs.
Take-profit and stop-loss — set before you enter
Trojan’s auto-sell rules execute server-side, so they run even when Telegram is closed. Set them before you enter a position, not after — once you’re in the trade, your judgment is compromised by P&L emotion.
Take-profit: 2X is the conservative anchor — your initial capital comes off the table, the rest is house money. 5X is the aggressive target for meme plays where the thesis is “this either goes parabolic or to zero.” Set scaled TPs (sell 50% at 2X, 30% at 5X, let the last 20% ride) if Trojan’s order ladder supports it on your setup.
Stop-loss: -40% minimum. Below -40% on most Solana meme coins, you’re holding a token that’s either rugged or about to rug, and recovery is rare. The classic mistake is “I’ll wait, it might bounce.” It usually doesn’t. The whole point of a stop is removing that decision from yourself.
Arena cashback — the lever that compounds
Trojan’s Arena loyalty system is the most significant fee advantage in the Solana bot category. The mechanic: every $1 you trade earns 1 Gold; Gold determines your rank; higher ranks give higher cashback in SOL after every completed trade. Cashback starts at roughly 10% at Degen rank and reaches up to 45% at Titan rank. Add the 0.9% referral rate (vs the 1% standard) and active traders see effective fees drop from 1% to around 0.55% — the lowest base+cashback combination of any major Solana bot.
Two additional reward streams worth knowing about:
- Daily Jackpot: 10% of Trojan’s daily fees go to one winner per day. At Trojan’s volume, that pool is substantial during active markets.
- Daily SOL distributions: Trojan currently distributes 1 SOL to 30 active traders daily as part of Arena rewards.
- 5-layer referral program: Up to 47.5% revenue share across five referral layers deep. $65M+ has been paid out to referrers historically. If you have a network, this stacks meaningfully.
MEV protection — leave it on
Trojan’s MEV protection routes transactions through Jito’s private mempool. It’s on by default and there’s essentially no reason to turn it off. The only edge case is if you’re trading something so illiquid that the MEV routing causes consistent transaction failures — at which point you should probably reconsider trading it at all rather than disable the protection.
Trojan Terminal vs Telegram — when to use which
| Use case | Best surface | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fast snipe on a live Pump.fun launch | Telegram bot | One-tap quick-buy, no browser tab needed, fastest from notification to execution |
| Multi-position monitoring | Trojan Terminal (web) | Multi-tab portfolio view, charting, position grid |
| Setting up copy trading | Trojan Terminal | Easier to filter and configure wallets in the web UI |
| Limit orders / DCA | Either | Both surfaces have full server-side execution; pick by preference |
| Hyperliquid perps | Trojan Terminal | Perps integration is web-only; Telegram bot is spot-focused |
| Arena rank tracking | Trojan Terminal | Volume dashboard and tier progress live in the web UI |
The two surfaces share the same wallet and balance. Open a position on Telegram, close it from the web. Set up automations on the web, execute snipes from Telegram. The synchronization is real-time — no reconciliation step.
💡 Expert tip — maximizing Arena cashback compounding: Arena resets monthly. The compounding play: (1) track your cumulative volume in the Trojan Terminal dashboard daily, (2) if you’re close to the next tier in the last week of the month, batch a few legitimate trades you’d run anyway to clear the threshold — the cashback applies retroactively to the whole month’s volume, (3) combine the 0.9% referral rate (always on, doesn’t require tier progression) with whatever Arena tier you reach for the lowest effective fee. Over 6–12 months of consistent active trading, the difference between Degen-tier (~10% cashback) and Gold-tier (~25%) compounds into real money — the math at higher tiers is even better. Don’t fake volume just to chase tier; the bot fees you’re paying to inflate volume will exceed the cashback gain. But if you’re trading anyway, plan it around the month-end threshold.
Settings to avoid
- Slippage above 25%. You’re telling the bot “execute at any price.” Bad outcome on a thin-liquidity token.
- Jito tip equal to or larger than your trade size. Common on tiny positions — if your 0.05 SOL trade has a 0.05 SOL tip, you’re losing money the moment you enter.
- Stop-loss below -50%. Lower stops mean “I’m hoping this bounces.” On meme coins, it almost never does.
- Copy trading more than 5 wallets. Signal degrades fast; noise dominates.
- Copy trade size at fixed SOL amount instead of percentage. You lose the source wallet’s position-sizing signal entirely.
- Using Trojan with your main wallet. Always import or generate a dedicated trading wallet. Fund what you intend to trade; nothing else.
- Turning off MEV protection. Almost never the right call. Sandwich attacks on Solana meme coins can wipe 5–10% off a trade.
