Trading
Return To BTC's trading engine routes orders across Spark DEXs and aggregators to give you the best possible fill — instantly, from a Telegram message.
Order Types
Three primary order types are available from the Trade menu:
Market Buy / Sell
The default. You pick an amount, the bot fetches a fresh quote, you confirm, and the trade executes at the current best price.
- Best for fast entries and exits
- Settles in a single block on Spark
- Quote refreshes every ~3 seconds
Swap (Token → Token)
Skip the BTC round-trip. Pick an input token and an output token; the bot finds the best multi-hop route.
Limit & DCA
Covered separately — see Limit Orders and DCA.
Smart Routing
Every market order is split, sized, and routed across Spark venues to minimise:
- Price impact on thin pools
- Slippage vs. the displayed quote
- Network fees by avoiding unnecessary hops
You don't have to think about which DEX has the best liquidity — Return To BTC does that for you.
Slippage
Default slippage is 1%. Adjust from Settings → Slippage:
| Setting | When to use |
|---|---|
| 0.1% – 0.5% | Deep-liquidity blue chips |
| 1% (default) | Most tokens |
| 3% – 5% | Volatile or low-liquidity tokens |
| Custom | New launches, sniping |
If the trade can't fill within your slippage limit, the bot cancels and refunds gas immediately.
Fees
Each trade pays:
- Network fee — paid to Spark validators; varies with network load
- DEX fee — protocol fee on the venue used (typically 0.25–0.30%)
- Integrator fee — 1% flat, charged by Return To BTC
Fees are shown in the quote before you confirm, so you always know the net.
Trade Receipts
Every fill produces a receipt in chat with:
- Trade pair and direction
- Amount in / amount out
- Average fill price
- Total fees paid
- Transaction hash (linked to Spark explorer)
- New balance
Receipts are also stored in Portfolio → History.
Safety Checks
Before any buy, Return To BTC runs a quick scorecard:
- Mint authority renounced?
- Liquidity locked?
- Honeypot simulation passes?
- Top-10 holder concentration
A warning banner is added to the quote if a check fails. You can still trade — it's your money — but you've been warned.
