## Should I use the bot if token has "anti-bot protection"?

Be careful ! Antibot protections cannot be bypassed. But we have implemented many parameters to avoid them.

## General advices

* **Be careful with "super hyped listings"**\
  Because of front-run bots, be really careful if you choose to snipe a super-hyped listing : front-run bots will kill the listing... 80% of the time you'll lose money here.<br>
* **BUYPRICE : don't set it too low**\
  Don't try to buy exactly at the listing price : always keep a margin for your trade.\
  \--> if the IDO price of a token was 0.15$, for instance, set the buy price at 0.25$ or more (depending of the listing "hype")

**How to set up the bot to snipe a coin launch if I dont know the price?**\
\
Many people ask this question. It's a difficult question to answer.

Of course, if you don't know the price, you cannot set up a "normal" price in the bot. You need to set up the bot to "buy at any price".

For this, simply put **"BUYPRICEINBASE": "100"** for instance. It will buy your tokens if price of 1 token < 100 BNB/ETH.
{% endhint %}

* **SELLPRICE : don't be too greedy**\
  Don't put too much difference between Buy and Sell price. My advice is : Sell 75 percent on a double. Keep 25 percent for moonbag.<br>
* **SLIPPAGE : make it high**\
  It's very important to have a huge slippage on listing... If it's a "hyped" listing, my advice is to put... 49%

{% hint style="warning" %}
We also introduced an **UNLIMITEDSLIPPAGE** option in the bot. If you want the bot to buy tokens no matter what slippage will be, use this option. Be careful slippage could be very high!
{% endhint %}

* **GAS price : be generous**  :fuelpump:&#x20;

  Mostly on ETH, Gas price is very important. There's a lot of transactions in the same block, so be generous! \
  The best way is to use GAS = BOOST option. Chainsniper recommend to use a 30% boost.\ <br>

{% hint style="info" %}
**And remember : it's also a matter of luck**

Sometimes your buy price will be too low, sometimes your sell price too high...&#x20;

Front-run bots often manipulate the price so much that the listing is wasted...

Be patient, do some research, select carefully your listings, and don't lose faith: you'll make it!

## How to check a token contract?

If you want to check if a contract does not contains malicious code, here are a few useful websites:

{% hint style="info" %}
We've added a **RUGDOC\_CHECK** option in the bot : set it to "true" and the bot will use RugDoc API to check if token is likely a honeypot before buy.

{% embed url="<http://detecthoneypot.com>" %}

{% embed url="<https://rugdoc.io/>" %}

{% embed url="<https://bscheck.eu/>" %}

## Here is a list of good Telegram Channels where you will find new listings:
