# what instant trade is on axiom, and how its hotkeys work

Instant Trade is a popup beside the chart that buys and sells with a single click. To turn on hotkeys, click the hotkey button, then press Space along with the key for the action you want, like buy x SOL or sell x%.

## what's in the panel

The panel, top to bottom:

- **P1, P2, P3** and a pencil. Axiom doesn't explain them for this panel. What Axiom says about presets elsewhere: [presets P1 to P3](/axiom/pulse-filters/).
- **A wallet picker.**
- **Buy**, with four amount buttons.
- **Sell**, with 10%, 25%, 50% and 100%.
- **A settings line under each row**, plus an Adv. box and Sell Init.

## switch hotkeys on

1. Click the hotkey button. It's a keyboard icon, at the left of the P1 row.
2. Hold Space and press the key for the action.

Axiom doesn't list the default keys, or how to change them.

> [!warn] One click is the trade. Axiom describes no confirm step, for a button or a hotkey. Set your amounts before the panel is open on a chart you care about.

## what axiom doesn't explain

- **Adv. and Sell Init.** Shown, not explained.
- **The wallet picker.** Axiom documents switching between wallets. It doesn't describe buying from several at once, so this page doesn't either.
- **Fees on a one-click buy.** Axiom doesn't tie the settings line to a preset. Slippage and priority are on [where to change slippage on axiom](/axiom/slippage/) and [where the priority fee is](/axiom/priority-fee/).

## related questions

- **What does Axiom actually charge?** Platform fee starts at 1% of the fill, plus priority you set, plus impact. A referral is a fee cut on the account if the field shows the code. Gas is separate.
- **How do I use Pulse filters on Axiom?** Click the filters button in a column's header. The panel has a tab per column, chain icons across the top, include and exclude keywords, and Protocols, Audit, $ Metrics and Socials tabs. Axiom's docs don't say what Apply All covers, so check each column after.
- **I swapped on Axiom and the token is gone** Check the tx on a Solana explorer first. Destination address and mint are the ground truth. Then enable that mint in the wallet. Do not swap again to find it.
