Slippage in crypto trading refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed.

This usually occurs in fast-moving or low-liquidity markets, where prices can change rapidly between the time a trade is submitted and when it's confirmed on-chain.

Setting a proper slippage tolerance helps ensure your trade executes, even if the price fluctuates slightly — but setting it too high can result in buying or selling at a much worse price than intended.

Setting Your Default Slippage

XeroGravity allows you to set a default slippage percentage that will apply across most trading features.

To configure this:

  1. Go to Settings > Slippage
  2. Choose your preferred slippage tolerance

This setting applies to all supported platforms:

  • Raydium
  • Orca
  • Pumpfun
  • Moonshot
  • Limit Orders

Slippage in Auto Sell Settings

For more granular control, you can also configure slippage individually within each Auto Sell feature:

  • Take Profit Zones
  • Stop Loss
  • Trailing Stop Loss
  • Advanced SL/TSL Settings

Each of these can have its own slippage tolerance, giving you flexibility to manage risk on a per-strategy basis.
