Setting your slippage and why it is important.

Slippage in crypto trading occurs when the price you intend to buy or sell a token at differs from the actual price when the transaction is completed. This usually happens in volatile markets or with tokens that have lower liquidity. Setting a slippage tolerance allows you to control how much price change you are willing to accept during a trade.
If your slippage tolerance is set too low, your transaction may fail if the price moves beyond your limit. Conversely, setting it too high can expose you to unexpected and potentially large changes in price, potentially costing you more than expected. Properly adjusting slippage tolerance helps ensure successful trades while managing price risks. To simplify it a little, if the token you are buying carries a 5% tax, then it is necessary to set your slippage to 5% or very slightly above. If your token carries a 0% tax, it is important to ensure your slippage is set to close to 0% i.e. .5% - 1% for example.
**If you manually set your slippage, the trade will only execute based on your manual setting, this may result in failed transactions if you require more slippage.
By default, DeepBot transactions will automatically set the slippage to 'AUTO' unless you have manually updated. You can reset to 'AUTO' by setting your slippage to ZERO '0'
