# Sell Initial Button & Feature

The "Sell Initial" features works by logging your initial $SOL amount you put into the coin you purchased.

The bot tracks your initial entry amount, and allows you to 1-click this button, to sell that amount.

This only works if you are in PROFIT or break-even because you cannot sell your initial amount if your trade is negative.

Example:

1. You put 1 $SOL into a token
2. That token goes up, and it's now worth 2 $SOL
3. If you click "Sell Initial", the bot will sell 1 $SOL worth of the token because that is what you initially put into the token

**This can be a very powerful feature to help you always stay in profit, by allowing you to extract your initial amount of money and protect your capital.**
