The Telegram Bot
Everything you need to trade is in one chat: your wallet, live token intel, buys and sells, standing orders, and settings. This is the full reference for the buttons and screens.

| Positions | Everything you hold, with live PnL |
| Orders | Your take-profit, stop-loss, and limit orders |
| Wallets | Create, import, rename, and export wallets |

The token card
Paste any Solana token address into the chat and Ape replies with its card. Reading the intel first is the whole point, so the card leads with it and shows the price underneath.
The three intel lines read like this:
- Risk, authorities, LP. A risk score, whether the token is Renounced (mint and freeze authority both revoked), and the share of liquidity that is locked. A
RUGGEDflag appears if the token has already been drained. - Concentration. How much the developer holds (and whether they have sold), the top-10 holders’ share, and the number of insiders and snipers.
- The crowd. Total holders and the 24 hour buy / sell count.
A dash (–) means Ape could not read that field. It is shown rather than hidden, because a blind spot is itself worth knowing before you buy.
Under the intel comes market cap, liquidity, and volume, then the price and 24 hour change, then your balance and which wallet the buy will route through.
Buying
From a token card:
- Tap a Buy preset (for example Buy 0.5) to buy that many SOL.
- Tap Buy X ✏️ to type a custom amount, then reply with the SOL figure like
1.5.
The wallet row above the buy buttons controls where the buy comes from: a single wallet, your whole Bundle, or the ⚙️ picker to choose one. Edit the preset amounts in Settings → Buy Settings.
Need more room on a fast mover? Tap Slip on the card to set a one-off slippage for the next trade on that token only, without changing your default.
Selling
Open a position (or the token card) and:
- Tap a Sell percentage (for example Sell 25%) to sell that share of your bag.
- Tap Sell X% ✏️ to type a custom token amount.
If you hold the same token across several wallets, a percentage sell sells that share from each holding wallet at once.
Turn on Sell Protection in Settings and Ape asks you to confirm before selling 100% of a position, so a fat-finger tap cannot dump the whole bag.
Positions and PnL
Positions lists what you hold, largest first, with profit and loss leading each line (🟩 up, 🟥 down) alongside your average entry and trade flow. Tap any token to open its card and trade it, or tap TP/SL on a row to arm an exit.
Settings you will actually use
- Confirm Trades: green asks you to confirm before every buy and sell; red fires the instant you tap.
- Sell Protection: asks before you sell a full position.
- Priority Fee: a small SOL tip that lands your transaction faster when the network is busy. Pick Eco, Fast, or Turbo, or set your own up to 0.1 SOL.
- Slippage: how far the price may move before a trade is rejected. The default is 15%.
- Account Security: set a passphrase to guard withdrawals and key exports. See Wallets & Security.
