## Creating a New Strategy

After tapping <kbd>**+ Add Strategy**</kbd> and a new form will appear displaying three options to set trigger values: :heavy\_plus\_sign: `TP/SL` , :heavy\_plus\_sign: `MCap`, and :heavy\_plus\_sign: `Dev sell`.

<figure><img src="/files/9w9JczC8ZGZX3xnJCWS2" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Tapping any of these options will display a new row with the details of the step orders. These are:

* **Type**: TP/SL, MCap or Dev sell.
* **Trigger**: The condition that activates the order.
* **Amount**: How much of your position will be sold when triggered.

Let’s walk through some examples of how to create automated orders.

### :heavy\_dollar\_sign:TP/SL

* **Set Trigger:** Use percentage changes from your buy price to activate Take Profit or Stop Loss orders.
  * Example: `+20%` for take profit, `-50%` for stop loss.

*The Type column automatically switches to SL when you enter a negative percentage (e.g., -50%).*

* **Set Amount:** Choose the percentage of your position to sell when the trigger is hit.
  * Example: `25%`  sells a quarter of your holdings, `100%`  exits the full position.

### :trophy: MCap

This option only works as Take Profit orders.

A trophy icon (:trophy:) appears in the Type column to distinguish it from regular TP/SL orders.

* **Set Trigger:** Use raw numbers like `500K` or `500000`. Once the token's market cap reaches this number, the bot will automatically execute the Take Profit order.
  * Examples: `12M`, `0.5M`, `1.5B`.
* **Set Amount:** Just like with TP/SL orders, choose what percentage of your position to sell.
  * Example: `50%` to sell half of your token holdings.

### &#x20;:construction\_worker: Dev sell

The bot will automatically trigger the order if it detects the devs have started selling.

* **Set Trigger:** No value input needed.
* **Set Amount: S**et the percentage of the token holding you want to sell.

Combine all these order types as you need.&#x20;

💡 You can define **up to 10 steps** per strategy!
