Axiom Trade Best Settings
Most bad fills on Axiom trace back to a setting nobody looked at. Only a few settings really matter, and Axiom ships sensible defaults for most of them. This page explains each one, where it lives and a starting point you can adjust as you learn how your trades land. Code TradeNow lowers the one cost no setting can touch: Axiom's own fee.
Open Axiom (20% Off)
Axiom Trade Invite Code: TradeNow
The Axiom Trade invite code is TradeNow. Axiom calls it a referral code. Enter it when you sign up and your trading fee drops by 20% for the life of the account, from 1% to 0.8% a trade.
If you are looking for an Axiom Trade invite code, use TradeNow. Type it into the referral field on the sign-up screen, or open axiom.trade/@tradenow and it is filled in for you. It is one of the most used Axiom codes, and it still works.
Axiom Settings and Themes
What are the best Axiom settings?
There is no single best setup, but there is a sound first one: keep Axiom's recommended priority fee and bribe, use Secure MEV mode for buys, set slippage to the lowest value that still fills, and save three presets for quiet, normal and contested trades. Then switch on hotkeys so each preset is a keystroke away.
Everything else, from chart lines to themes, is about comfort rather than speed.
| Where settings live | Settings button, top right |
|---|---|
| Priority fee | Starts at 0.001 SOL |
| Bribe | Also 0.001 SOL to begin with |
| Recommended fees | Worked out by Axiom from live traffic |
| MEV modes | Off, Reduced, Secure (recommended) |
| Presets | Three, P1 to P3 |
| Hotkeys | Space plus a key, from Instant Trade |
Priority Fee and Bribe
The priority fee pays validators to put your transaction ahead of others. The bribe is an extra incentive on top of it, and it is also what MEV protection runs on. Each defaults to 0.001 SOL; Axiom reads recent transactions to suggest a figure for each, which is the right default for most trades.
Pay more only for contested moments, such as a launch or a migration half the market is watching, and keep that higher setting on a preset of its own. Launch-level fees on every ordinary trade are one of the quietest ways to bleed money on Axiom, since a tip is spent whether the trade was worth it or not.
Slippage
Slippage is how far the price may move between your click and the fill before the order cancels. Axiom takes it as a maximum percentage and lets it go very high: 1000% means accepting a tenfold move.
Use the lowest value that fills for the coins you trade. Tight slippage fails more often on fast coins, and loose slippage invites sandwich bots, which can push the price right up to your limit before you fill. Axiom's own advice ties the two settings together: if MEV protection is off, keep slippage low.
MEV Mode
There are three modes. Off broadcasts to Jito and to regular block leaders at once, the quickest route and an unprotected one. Reduced goes through Jito alone, which helps, though rogue validators can still get in. Secure only lets the transaction through once a whitelisted validator is available, so it can be slower, and it is the mode Axiom recommends.
Protection is needed on buys. For selling most tokens it is not, according to Axiom's docs, so a preset used for exits can run on a faster mode. The MEV protection page covers the modes in more depth, along with the privacy tools that sit beside them.
Three Presets
Presets bundle priority fee, bribe, slippage and MEV mode under P1, P2 and P3, which sit above the Pulse columns and in the trade panel, so a whole setup changes in one click instead of numbers being edited mid-trade.
A layout that suits most people: P1 for calm markets at Axiom's recommended fees in Secure mode, P2 for normal memecoin trading with a little more of both, and P3 for the rare launch you would pay to catch, set to the most you can afford to waste on a failed attempt. Sells can sit on a preset with protection off.
Hotkeys and One-Click Buys
Instant Trade puts buy and sell buttons beside the chart. Turn hotkeys on from its panel and each button gets a key: Space plus that key buys your set amount or sells a set percentage. In Pulse, the lightning bolt on each row buys at the preset size without opening the coin, and watchlist rows carry the same quick buy.
Chart and PnL Settings
The chart can mark your average entry and exit as lines and add lines for the top holders' buys and sells, with the number of holders adjustable. The trades panel can be cut down to the developer, tracked wallets or your own fills.
PnL settings let a position reset to zero when it closes, so a fresh entry is not coloured by an old one, and fees have been counted inside PnL since June 2025. Custom themes and Lighthouse, Axiom's market overview, are set from the same panel, as the video above shows.
Configuring Axiom From Scratch
Enter invite code TradeNow
Settings belong to an account, so create yours at axiom.trade/@tradenow first, with TradeNow in the referral field. The fee you tune everything around is then 0.8%, not 1%.
Open settings, top right
Note the recommended priority fee and bribe, and pick Secure for buys.
Save P1 to P3
Calm, normal and launch setups, each with its own fees and slippage.
Switch on hotkeys
Enable them in Instant Trade and learn the two or three you will really use.
Axiom Settings — FAQ
What slippage should I use on Axiom?
The lowest value that still fills for the coins you trade. Fast new coins need more room, and it should stay low whenever MEV protection is off.
How high should the priority fee and bribe be?
Start with the values Axiom recommends from current traffic; both default to 0.001 SOL. Raise them only on a preset kept for contested trades.
Which MEV mode should I use on Axiom?
Secure for buys, as Axiom recommends, accepting a short delay while it finds a whitelisted validator. Off is faster but open to sandwich bots.
Is MEV protection needed on sells?
For most tokens, no. Axiom's docs say protection is needed on buys, so an exit preset can use a quicker mode.
Where are the settings in Axiom?
Behind the settings button at the top right of the screen. Hotkeys are switched on separately, from the Instant Trade panel.
What are Axiom presets?
Three saved setups, P1 to P3, each holding a priority fee, bribe, slippage and MEV mode, so the whole configuration switches in one click.
