Advanced Trading Guide

How the Algorithm Works

SolGather uses machine learning to identify arbitrage opportunities across Solana's liquidity pools:

  1. Monitors 312,000+ pools in real-time
  2. Analyzes price discrepancies
  3. Calculates profit potential
  4. Executes trades via Jito validators
  5. Completes in 2.4 seconds average

Understanding Returns

How Profits Are Calculated:
Gross Trade Profit - Gas Fees - SolGather Fee (2%) = Your Net Profit

Example: $100 profit → $2 gas → -$1.96 fee = $96.04 net gain

Risk Management

  • Position sizing based on your deposits
  • Automatic stop-losses on losing trades
  • Daily profit caps to limit over-trading
  • Circuit breakers during market volatility

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MEV and why does SolGather snipe it? ▼
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the profits available from reordering or inserting transactions. SolGather identifies and captures these opportunities automatically, profitable arbitrage for you.
Can my funds be stolen or lost? ▼
No. We use secure multi-signature wallets and never access your private keys. We carry $1M insurance per user. Your funds remain under your complete control.
How often does the bot trade? ▼
Frequency depends on market conditions and your settings. On average, expect 5-15 snipes per day. During high volatility, could be 20-50+ daily.
What's your fee structure? ▼
We charge 2% on profits only. No deposit fee, no monthly fee. If we don't make you money, you pay nothing. Gas fees (~$0.50-2) come from profits.
Is this guaranteed to make money? ▼
No. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Markets can be unpredictable. During bear markets, profits may reduce or losses could occur. Always invest only what you can afford to lose.
Can I withdraw anytime? ▼
Yes! Withdrawals are instant. Just go to the bot, tap "Withdraw", enter your amount, and confirm. Funds arrive in your wallet within seconds.
What happens if there's a network outage? ▼
SolGather uses multiple validator nodes for redundancy. In rare network issues, trading pauses automatically. Your funds are always safe; no trades execute if the network isn't fully operational.
How do I change settings after I start? ▼
Open the bot anytime and tap "Settings". You can change risk level, snipe frequency, profit targets, and more. Changes take effect immediately.
