# Getting Started

Welcome! This guide walks you through setting up your bot and making your first automatic purchase.

***

## Step 1 — Start the bot

Open the conversation with the bot on Telegram and send:

```
/start
```

The bot automatically creates a Solana wallet for your account and displays your address.

> This wallet is used exclusively by the bot. You can deposit and withdraw SOL at any time.

***

## Step 2 — Deposit SOL

For the bot to buy, your wallet must contain SOL.

1. Copy your address from the **👛 Wallet** menu
2. Send SOL from Phantom, Backpack, or any other wallet
3. Wait a few seconds — the balance updates automatically

**Recommended starting amount:** 0.5 SOL minimum

***

## Step 3 — Configure the Sniper

Open the main menu, go to **🎯 Sniper**, and set these 4 essential parameters:

| Parameter      | Recommended starting value |
| -------------- | -------------------------- |
| 💵 Buy Amount  | 0.05 – 0.1 SOL             |
| 📈 Take Profit | 100%                       |
| 🔒 Stop Loss   | -50%                       |
| ⛽ Priority Fee | 0.003 SOL                  |

***

## Step 4 — Enable the Sniper

Press the **AUTO-BUY: OFF** button to turn it on.

The bot immediately starts monitoring new token creations and buys automatically whenever a valid signal is detected.

***

## Step 5 — Monitor your results

As soon as a purchase is executed, you receive a Telegram notification with the token bought, the amount spent, and the entry price.

View your active positions at any time via **📊 Positions** in the main menu.

***
