[Testing/Log] 48-Hour Run with Automated Trading Bot (0.78 ETH to ~3 ETH)

[jeffcormier]

I spent the last couple of days testing out an automated trading bot setup to evaluate execution speed, gas limit settings, and slippage management.

Run Summary:

Starting Balance: 0.78 ETH

Timeframe: 48 hours

Final Balance: ~3 ETH

The initial script configuration required tweaking gas limits so transactions didn't drop during volatility spikes. I followed the walkthrough video from the emmydev1 channel, which you can watch here:

For anyone running similar setups on EVM chains: what parameters are you using for slippage tolerance to protect against front-running?
