What it is

Trading defaults: default slippage tolerance, gas strategy, MEV protection, auto-approval threshold, default order types.

How to think about it

These defaults populate every trading form. You can override per-trade.

Step-by-step

1. Default Slippage

   0.5% default. Higher for memecoins (1-3%), lower for stablecoins (0.1%).

2. Gas Strategy

   Standard (median fee), Fast (above-median), Aggressive (top of mempool). Aggressive costs more but confirms faster.

3. MEV Protection

   On by default. Routes DEX trades through Flashbots private mempool. Reduces sandwich attacks.

4. Auto-approval Threshold

   Trades below this USD amount skip the manual confirmation modal. Default $50.

5. Default Order Type

   Market vs Limit for CEX orders. Default: Market (fastest fills).

Tips & pitfalls

• MEV protection should always stay on — there's no downside.
• Auto-approval threshold $50 prevents friction for small trades but adds a confirmation step for larger ones.
• For volatile tokens, increase default slippage to 1-2% to reduce reverts.
