## **Noob Mode**

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a beginner-friendly preset that enables all essential settings and protections for safer trading. In this mode, transactions may be slightly slower, as the bot thoroughly checks the contract’s legitimacy before making a purchase. This added layer of security helps beginners trade with confidence, minimizing risks from suspicious or unsafe tokens.
