Guide: Selling Tokens

How to sell a position cleanly using Return To BTC — market sells, partial sells, and best practices.

Prerequisites

• A position you want to exit (see Portfolio)
• The active wallet is the one holding the position

Step 1 — Open the Position

Tap Portfolio and tap the token you want to sell. You'll see:

• Balance
• Current price
• Average entry
• Unrealised P&L
• Quick actions row: Sell, Sell %, Limit Sell, Alert

Step 2 — Choose Sell Size

Tap Sell and pick:

• 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% presets
• Or Custom %
• Or Custom token amount

The bot returns a sell quote:

Selling 50% (920 SPK)
Receive:        0.00505 BTC
Avg fill:       $0.347
Price impact:   0.4%
Network fee:    $0.04
DEX fee:        0.30%
Integrator fee: 1.00%
You receive:    0.00499 BTC
P&L (this lot): +0.00041 BTC  (+8.9%)

Step 3 — Confirm

Tap Confirm Sell. The bot signs, broadcasts, and returns a receipt with:

• Tokens sold
• BTC received
• Realised P&L on this lot
• Remaining balance
• Tx hash

Realised P&L is added to your Portfolio → Stats.

Partial Sells (Laddering Out)

Rather than dump 100% at one price, ladder out:

Level	Size	Why
+50% from entry	30%	Lock in some win
+100%	30%	Free-roll the rest
+200%	20%	Trail the runner
Stop at break-even	remaining 20%	Risk management

Set each level as a Limit Sell Order and let the bot execute automatically.

Selling Into a Move

When a token is spiking:

• Default slippage of 1% may fail — bump to 3–5% if volatility is extreme.
• Watch for price impact on big sells — splitting a sell into two smaller trades can save 0.5–1%.

Tax Considerations

Each sell is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Return To BTC tracks:

• Sale date
• Cost basis (average method)
• Realised gain/loss in BTC and USD

Export from Portfolio → Export for CSVs friendly to most tax tools.

Common Mistakes

• Selling 100% at the first green candle. Ladder — partial sells preserve upside.
• Sell slippage too low during a dump. Order rejects, you miss the exit.
• Selling the wrong token. Always check the token name on the confirmation card.
