Choose the job before the tool
A recurring buy executes a schedule. A limit order waits for a price condition. A trading agent follows its configured strategy. These tools automate different jobs, even when all three can result in a purchase.
Start with a plain description of the action, amount and endpoint. “Buy $50 weekly for eight weeks” is a schedule; “buy once at this price” is a conditional order. More complex rules need additional scope and repetition controls.
Understand what stays active
A signed on-chain order or recurring plan can remain active after you close the assistant that created it. An activated agent also has its own lifecycle. Keep identifiers and activity records for each automation.
TRUE supports Jupiter-backed spot limit orders and recurring buys, plus agent drafts and agent-management tools. Cancelling one object does not automatically stop the others.
Review permissions and costs
Check which account supplies funds, what the strategy may trade and how much it may allocate. Inspect slippage and the effect of repeated transaction costs on small orders.
Automation makes execution repeatable; it does not make every rule profitable. If the rule is wrong or the market changes, consistent execution can consistently produce an unwanted result. That is why a clear pause or cancellation process matters.
A practical first workflow
Write a simple rule, review its draft and authorize it through the relevant TRUE app flow. Compare the first execution with the intended behavior. Then set a review point based on time, spend or a change in market conditions.
Keep existing positions in that review. Pausing new activity is different from selling holdings or closing exposure. An automation plan should explain both how it starts and how you intend to stop it.
