AutoBoy prices tokens by calculating the effective market cap of a buy. This is the market cap a user is effectively paying when you account for fees that reduce how many tokens they actually receive - most importantly sniper taxes, but also LP fees. Here’s an example of a calculation:
  • Token A is a Clanker launch with an absolute market cap is $200k.
  • It’s currently within the sniper tax period: swaps in the next block incur a 50% sniper tax, meaning half of the user’s swap goes to sniper fees, not to buying the token. Swaps for this token are effectively paying twice the price.
  • AutoBoy therefore calculates the effective market cap as $400k.
  • Any orders with a max market cap of $400k or higher are valid and AutoBoy will attempt to execute them.
This calculation is re-run as the effective MCap changes.
