# Create a Sniping Task

Creating a sniping task involves two steps: entering the sniping address and setting up the relevant trading parameters.

**Step 1: Enter the Sniping Address**

Unlike the copy trading function, the entered address should be the contract address of the token to be sniped. Depending on whether liquidity has been added to the token, there are two subsequent buying modes:

* **Scenario 1: Normal Buying Mode**
* &#x20;If the token already has a liquidity pool, the system will proceed with the normal buying mode.

* **Scenario 2: Sniping Buying Mode**&#x20;
* If the token does not yet have a liquidity pool, the system will initiate the sniping buying mode. When liquidity is first added to the token, the system will automatically execute a purchase for the user at the earliest opportunity.

**Step 2: Configure Relevant Parameters**

Confirm the task creation by setting up the relevant parameters. The "Single Purchase Amount" is a required field, while other parameters can be left at their default values.
