PUMPKIN Token

PUMPKIN is a utility token on the Sui blockchain that grants access to Quant Dash.
  • Required: Hold $100+ worth to use the platform
  • Not spent: Just hold in your wallet, not consumed
  • Tradeable: Can be sold anytime on DEXs
PUMPKIN trades on Sui DEXs:
  1. Get a Sui wallet (Sui Wallet, Suiet, etc.)
  2. Buy SUI tokens (from CEX or bridge)
  3. Swap SUI for PUMPKIN on a Sui DEX
See the PUMPKIN Token Guide for step-by-step instructions.
Token-gating serves multiple purposes:
  • Prevents spam/abuse
  • Aligns user interests with platform
  • Creates sustainable development funding
  • Limits access to serious traders

Honest answer: Returns vary significantly based on market conditions, strategy, and settings.
  • Market making in good conditions: 0.1-0.5% daily
  • DCA in trending markets: Depends on entry/exit timing
  • Bad conditions can result in losses
Important:
  • Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results
  • Start small to understand behavior
  • Never risk more than you can afford to lose
Yes! You can run multiple bots simultaneously:
  • Different symbols on the same exchange
  • Same symbol on different exchanges (arbitrage)
  • Different strategies for diversification
Recommendation: Start with one bot, add more as you learn.
Check these indicators:
  1. Status: Green = running, Red = error
  2. Orders: Should see open orders in dashboard
  3. Logs: Trading console shows activity
  4. Positions: Track open positions and P&L
If orders appear and fill, the bot is working correctly.

​
Risk & Safety

Yes, trading involves risk.Possible loss scenarios:
  • Market moves strongly against your position
  • Liquidation if using high leverage
  • Extended drawdown before recovery
  • Black swan events (exchange hacks, flash crashes)
Mitigation:
  • Start with conservative presets
  • Use auto-hedging for protection
  • Never risk more than you can afford to lose
  • Diversify across symbols/strategies
If the bot disconnects:
  • Existing positions remain open
  • Open orders stay on exchange
  • No new orders placed until reconnect
  • Positions may not be managed (risk!)
Protection:
  • Set stop losses on exchange manually
  • Use auto-hedging for large positions
  • Monitor positions even when bot is off
The bot uses tiered loss management:
Loss LevelAction
0-1%Normal trading
1-3%Widen spreads, reduce size
3-6%Stop new entries, defend only
6%+Exit priority mode
10%Hard stop - close all
See Risk Management for details.
Liquidation = Exchange forcibly closes your position when margin is insufficient.Avoid by:
  • Using lower leverage (start with 10x or less)
  • Keeping wallet exposure under 30%
  • Enabling auto-hedging
  • Setting hard stop losses
  • Monitoring positions regularly

​
Technical Issues

Common issues:
  1. API Keys: Verify correct and have Trade permission
  2. Balance: Ensure funds in correct wallet (Futures, not Spot)
  3. Symbol: Check symbol is valid and tradeable
  4. Exchange: Verify exchange connection works
See Troubleshooting for detailed solutions.
Normal behavior:
  • Grid refresh repositions orders as price moves
  • Orders cancel when price moves too far
  • Rate limiting may cancel excess orders
If excessive:
  • Increase grid_refresh_interval
  • Reduce number of grid levels
  • Check exchange rate limits
