# Manual Transactions

### How can I buy a token manually?

Paste the token's contract address into the bot, then use the [buy menu](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu) to manually buy. You can also adjust the _Slippage_ and _Gas Price/Delta_ of your manual buys and switch between your connected wallets directly in the same panel.

### How can I sell a token manually?

Paste the token's contract address into the bot, then use the [Buy ↔️ Sell](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu#buy-sell) button to open the [sell menu](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu) to manually sell. You can sell your holdings of the token in the bot even if you acquired them externally. You can also adjust the _Slippage_ and _Gas Price/Delta_ of your manual sells and switch between your connected wallets directly in the same panel.

### Can I automate buying pasted contracts?

Yes. You can configure the `Me` channel to initiate auto-buys on pasted contracts. This is detailed [here](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/auto-buy-on-pasted-contract).

### If I bought a token inside the bot, can I sell it outside?

Yes.

### If I bought a token outside the bot, can I sell it inside?

Yes. Paste the token's contract address into the bot, then use the [Buy ↔️ Sell](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu#buy-sell) button to open the [sell menu](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu) to manually sell.

### What gas settings do manual buys/sells use?

Manual buys and sells use your [wallet's gas settings](/docs/sniper/global-settings). This can be overridden for specific transactions by manually changing the slippage and/or the gas price/delta in the [token's buy menu](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu) or [trade monitor menu](/docs/sniper/trade-monitor/trade-monitor-menu).

### How can I make my buys/sells go faster?

Your gas price/delta determines your transaction's priority on the blockchain. If you want more speed, please increase your gas price/delta.

### What if I try to buy an amount bigger than max buy?

The bot automatically adjusts your buy amount to match the max buy of the contract. The only case where we don't do that is 0-block-delay [Liquidity ](/docs/sniper/auto-snipe#liquidity-sniping)and [Method ](/docs/sniper/auto-snipe#method-sniping)sniping through _Auto Snipe_ on Arbitrum.

### Can I buy a specific amount of tokens?

Yes. Paste the token's contract address then use the [_Buy X Tokens_](/docs/sniper/pasted-contracts/token-report-menu#buy-x-tokens) button.

### Why can't I buy or sell a token?

Please refer to the [Transaction Error Messages](/docs/sniper/faq/transaction-error-messages) section for further explanation on the received error when attempting to buy or sell.
