* **mode:** Determines the trading strategy with preset values for different market conditions.
* **buyPercentage:** The percentage drop required to trigger a buy.

* **sellPercentages:** Profit percentages for executing sell orders.
* **buyVolumes:** Allocation of the total investment across the splits.
* **investmentPerBuy:** The total amount invested per buy operation.
* **sellActivateDistancePercentage:** The percentage drop needed to activate sell orders.
* **sellCancelDistancePercentage:** The percentage drop at which sell orders are visually removed but remain active in the background.

#### **How do I choose the best mode?**

Each mode is designed for specific market conditions. Experiment with different modes to find the one that aligns with your trading goals and risk tolerance. Mode 4 is a reliable starting point for most users.

***

#### **Can I trade assets other than PEPE/USDC?**

Yes. To trade a different pair, update the `baseAsset` and `quoteAsset` parameters. Ensure the pair is available on Binance and aligns with your strategy.

***

#### **What happens if I misconfigure the bot?**

Misconfigurations may lead to suboptimal trades or errors. Always double-check your settings and refer to the documentation for guidance. In case of issues, consult the [Troubleshooting](/optimization/uncoded-troubleshooting.md) section.

***

#### **Can I adjust the configuration while the bot is running?**

Certain parameters can be adjusted without restarting the bot, but for significant changes (e.g., `buySplits` or `sellPercentages`), a restart is required. Always back up your configuration files before making edits.
