Getting Started

Get from zero to your first automated trade in a few minutes.

Connect your wallet

Open whalesx.trade and connect with Phantom. Connecting signs a message (no transaction, no gas) to prove you own the wallet and logs you in.

Fund your trading wallet

WhalesX generates a dedicated trading wallet for you. Its private key is encrypted and stored in a secure vault — WhalesX uses it to sign your trades, but you can export it anytime from Wallet → Wallet Security → Export Private Key.

Send some SOL to your trading wallet address to cover buys, fees and priority tips.

⚠️

Only deposit what you’re willing to trade with. This is a hot wallet used for automated execution.

Pick a trading mode

Decide how you want WhalesX to act:

Copy Trading — follow one or more leader wallets.
Sniping — auto-buy new launches that pass your filters.
Manual — trade yourself with one-click presets.

Configure your presets

In the footer, open the PRESET pill to set up P1/P2/P3. Each preset holds your slippage, priority fee, bribe/tip, send mode (RPC / Astralane / Falcon) and a quick-buy amount. These power the one-click buy buttons on every token card.

Presets are saved per user — they sync across every device you log in from.

Set up Smart Exit

Open the Snipe panel → Smart Exit tab and tune how positions auto-close (stop-loss, trailing stop, breakeven, profit-lock…). Hit Save & Apply.

Smart Exit applies to all your open positions — snipe, copy and manual alike.

Trade

You’re live. Buy from any token card, follow a leader, or let the snipe engine work. Track everything in Wallet → Open Positions (tabs: All / Snipe / Copy / Manual) and close from there at any time.
