# Trade Setup

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Presets" %}
Presets allow you to **pre-configure your trade settings** for faster execution.

In Trench, you can create and manage **multiple presets directly from the footer navbar**, making it easy to switch between different trading setups instantly.

Each preset includes:

* Slippage
* Priority fee
* Bribe (Tip)
* Custom RPC (optional)

***

### How It Works

<figure><img src="/files/nhq0bjiXYPR5iAqV1RJV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This lets you adapt quickly depending on the situation — for example:

* Low-risk trades → lower slippage, lower fees
* Fast entries → higher slippage, higher priority

Presets help you **react faster and stay consistent** without manually adjusting settings every time.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Custom Strategies" %}
Custom strategies allow you to define **how your trades are managed after entry**.

You can create multiple strategies with **custom labels**, and choose them based on the token or market conditions.

Each strategy can include:

* Multiple Take Profits (TPs)
* Stop Loss (SL)
* Predefined exit conditions

***

### How It Works

You can create and manage your strategies from the **bottom navbar** by selecting *Strategy* and defining your preferred setup.

To use a strategy:

* Select your saved strategy from the **Quick Buy panel** on Alpha or Radar
* Or apply it directly from the **token page** before entering a trade

Once applied, your **targets and exits are automatically managed** based on your predefined conditions, removing the need for manual monitoring.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Quick Buys" %}
Quick Buy allows you to **enter trades instantly** without manually setting up each order.

It is available across key sections like **Alpha & Radar**.

***

### How It Works

You can set a default Quick Buy configuration in the header:

* Trade amount
* Preset (fees, slippage, RPC)
* Strategy (TP/SL setup)

<figure><img src="/files/5fxQGeo9TBrfIFOsLmFg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Alpha Page</p></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/B3mVBjpb7GSY4qLKQ4y2" alt=""><figcaption><p>Radar Page</p></figcaption></figure>

Once configured, every token will show a **Quick Buy button**.

***

### Using Quick Buy

1. Set your Quick Buy amount and preferences
2. Find a token in Alpha or Radar section.
3. Click **Quick Buy**

Your order is placed instantly using your predefined settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trenchexchange.gitbook.io/trench-docs/terminal-guide/trade-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
