You can have up to 8 active trades at any time (20 for Premium users). All your active trades will be summarized in a single Trade Monitor for efficiency. Only one of the trades can be considered a *Primary Trade*, and the rest of your trades will be relegated to the *Other Trades* portion. Figure 13 shows the monitor in action. We’ll use $Catchy, BUSD, and USDT to demonstrate this functionality.

13. Trade Monitor in action.

We’ll break Figure 13 down in two parts. We will first explain the message above the buttons: * *First Row*: * *Token Name* - Name of the token being tracked. * *Profit/Loss* - Profit or Loss percentage before sell tax. * *Time Left* - The Trade Monitor will keep tracking each token for 24 hours (72 hours for Premium users). This reflects how much of the 24 hours is left. * *Initial* - How much you spent to buy the token. * *Worth* - How much your token is currently worth. * *Time elapsed* - How much time has gone by since the buy. * *P/L w/tax* - Profit/Loss after sell tax. * *Price impact* - The effect of your sell on the chart. * *Expected Payout* - How much BNB/ETH you will receive when you sell. This factors in both taxes and price impact, and can be written as: $$\text{Initial}*\left(1 +\text{P/L w/tax}\right)*\left(1+\text{Price Impact}\right).$$ * *Price | MC* - Current price and market cap of the token. * *Other Trades* - This section will show your other trades. You can see the same information as that in the *First Row*. However, “Disabled” trades won’t show any information. Trades can become disabled if the trade lasts longer than 24 hours, if you sell all your tokens, or if you press the *Stop* button, which we explain below. This message will update (by editing itself) **whenever your balances change** for the 24 hours (96 hours for ⭐️Premium users), giving you the latest price values as fast as possible. To extend monitoring to more than 24 hours, you can use the *Reset* and *Resume* buttons. We will explain these two buttons below. The Trade Monitor gives you complete control over your investment, and even attempts to protect your holdings in case of a rug. Some closing words: * The Trade Monitor message will update itself for 24 hours. *Auto Sell* settings will also be active for 24 hours. After 24 hours pass, the trades become disabled and can no longer benefit from *Anti-Rug* and *Auto Sell*. If you want to extend this duration, simply use *Refresh* button, which gives you another 24 hours on the trade. ⭐️Premium users enjoy the benefits of 96-hour Trade Monitors. * You can only have 8 active trades in your Trade Monitor. After you reach 8 active trades, any additional purchases will not be tracked in the Trade Monitor. You do NOT need to clear “disabled” trades manually, as the bot will handle that automatically. ⭐️Premium users enjoy the benefits of 30 concurrent trades in their Trade Monitors. * If you have multiple trades of the same token running (let’s say 3 trades of $Catchy coming from the same wallet), and you want to combine them into one trade, you can *Delete* 2 of the trades then *Reset* the one remaining. The bot will then combine the three trades into one. * The Trade Monitor attempts to grab autosell settings from a call channel when available. When these settings are unavailable, it will default to the global wallet settings set in Section 2 * **Always make sure that *****Auto-sell***** has a green checkmark next to it on the Trade Monitor if you want the bot to autosell for you.** * You can use the *Track* function in Figure 8 to utilize autoselling features for any token you own, regardless of whether you bought it through the bot or not. Simply paste the token’s contract address into the bot and *Track* it. The bot will detect your current balance and open a Trade Monitor, giving you access to selling and autoselling options.
