One-Click Trading

The APE Button

Every signal card has an APE (or BUY) button. Clicking it initiates a token swap using the buy size and input token you've configured in the header.

There's no confirmation step by default — the trade executes immediately. This is by design: speed matters when acting on alpha.

Setting Your Buy Size

The buy size selector lives in the header bar. Configure it before you start trading.

Choosing SOL or USDC

Use the toggle in the header to switch between SOL and USDC as your input token. This determines what asset you're spending to buy the signal token.

• SOL is the native Solana token — most pools have SOL pairs
• USDC is a dollar-pegged stablecoin — useful if you want to control your USD exposure precisely

Your current wallet balance for the selected token is shown next to the selector so you always know how much you have available.

Preset Amounts

Select a preset buy size with one click:

Custom Amount

You can also type a custom amount directly into the input field next to the presets. Any positive value is valid.

What Happens When You Click APE

When you click the APE button on a signal card:

1. Quote Request — Lexor calls the Jupiter Ultra API to get the best available swap route from your input token (SOL or USDC) to the target token. Jupiter scans all Solana DEXes and aggregators to find the optimal price.

2. Transaction Signing — The swap transaction is constructed and sent to your embedded Privy wallet for signing. This happens automatically — you don't manually approve a transaction popup like in MetaMask. The signing is seamless.

3. On-Chain Execution — The signed transaction is broadcast to the Solana mainnet. Solana's ~400ms block time means confirmation is fast.

4. Trade Recorded — The trade is recorded in your Lexor account (token, amount, price at time of trade, USD volume). This is what powers the Holdings Panel and PnL tracking.

5. Confirmation Toast — A notification appears: "Sniped $TOKEN!" with a link to the transaction on Solscan. You can verify the trade on-chain immediately.

Jupiter Ultra API

All swaps are routed through Jupiter Ultra API — the leading liquidity aggregator on Solana. Jupiter scans every major DEX (Raydium, Orca, Meteora, etc.) and aggregates routes to find the best price for your swap.

You don't choose the route or set manual slippage — Jupiter handles this automatically to optimize price execution.

What Can Cause a Trade to Fail

Trades can fail for the following reasons:

• Insufficient balance — you don't have enough SOL or USDC in your embedded wallet to cover the buy amount plus transaction fees. Always keep a small amount of SOL for fees (0.01–0.05 SOL is usually sufficient).
• Slippage exceeded — the price moved between when the quote was fetched and when the transaction confirmed. Jupiter sets slippage tolerance automatically.
• Network congestion — during extremely high Solana network activity, some transactions may time out. Retry if this happens.
• Token not tradeable — some tokens may have frozen trading, very low liquidity, or other on-chain restrictions that prevent swapping.

If a trade fails, a toast notification will indicate the error. Your balance is not affected — failed transactions do not deduct funds.
