Launch your first sniper bot

Goal: a conservative Pump.fun launch sniper with strict filters and automatic exits.

Prerequisites

• A dedicated wallet for sniping (create one — don’t snipe from your main wallet) funded with SOL for several buys plus fees.

Step 1 — Create the bot

On the web, open Sniper bot → New. Name it, pick the sniper wallet, and choose the profile — for this tutorial, Pump.fun launches.

Step 2 — Size the buys

• Buy amount: small — e.g. 0.05 SOL. You will lose some races and some tokens will rug; size so ten losses don’t hurt.
• Gas / Jito tip: above default — snipes are races, and a buy that lands late often buys the top. The Jito bundle route also gives MEV protection.

Step 3 — Set strict filters

For a first bot, require a lot:

• ✅ Twitter/X and Telegram present
• ✅ CA ↔ Twitter handle match (dodges impersonators)
• ✅ Unique ticker/name (skips copycats)
• Optional: KOL involvement above a SOL threshold — fewer, higher-conviction snipes

Strict filters mean the bot fires rarely. That’s the point — loosen gradually once you trust it.

Step 4 — Attach exits

Give every sniped position an automatic exit:

• Take-profit: e.g. +100%, sell 100%.
• Stop-loss: e.g. −40%.
• Timed auto-sell as a backstop (e.g. a few hours), so nothing is held forever by accident.

Step 5 — Arm it and watch

Enable the bot. Each snipe arrives as a Telegram notification with one-tap actions (Sell 50% / Sell initial / Token info). The bot’s page shows its stats — attempts, wins/losses, realized PnL — and current holdings.

Variations

• Graduation sniping: same setup with the graduation profile — buys tokens completing their bonding curve, generally less rug-prone than fresh mints but more competed.
• Specific address: know a token pre-graduation? /sniper → buy specific address pre-arms a buy that fires the moment it migrates.
