Trench mode

Leaving the loop on

Trench mode means you leave OpenClaw on the book. The runtime does not wait for a fresh prompt before the next pass. It thinks, it buys the newest pair it is willing to use, it sells, and it rests, then it does that again. The command center is how you watch a loop you are not typing into.

Leaving it on is a decision, not a default you stumbled into. The other decision is a prompt for one route. Both are honest modes. Trench mode is the one you choose when the window is the work, and when you want the vault to keep meeting new names without you sponsoring each one.

A cycle

Each cycle begins in thinking. The feed requests the latest Solana profiles and then the pairs, and it keeps a Pump.fun pair if one is there. The phase moves to buying. A buy row is written with the symbol and the full contract. After the buy interval, the route settles. A win adds between 0.1 and 0.4 SOL. A loss removes between 0.5 and 1.1 SOL. The sell row carries the same contract and the SOL result.

Then the cycle rests until the minute has elapsed, and the next thinking line appears. You do not need to refresh the page to grant permission for that next line. The desk polls the feed. New console lines and new activity rows arrive because the loop wrote them.

The window

The window is the reason trench mode exists. A launch is most itself at the start. A desk that waits for a meeting will meet the name after the trench has moved on. The loop’s preference for the newest pair is the same idea expressed as a sort. Trench mode is that idea expressed as a policy: stay present while the window is open.

The window is not an excuse to ignore the vault. A fast loop that cannot see its own balance is just a spinner. The command center keeps the SOL figure next to the phase so you can watch speed and size together. If you want the social side of the same window, Fomo.family is the feed. If you want the tape, GMGN is the page.

When to leave it on

Leave trench mode on when you want a sequence of closes and you are willing to read them as a book, including the losses. Turn to a prompt when a single name matters more than the sequence. The switch is the whole product choice, and it is reversible. Routes from both modes share Activity, so you will not lose the record when you change your mind.
