If slippage is too high why not trade less?

[nlordell]

I have encountered the silly situation where the trading bot will not trade because I gave it too many funds in the same token.

This happens because we have a maximum slippage tolerance. The bot checks this by comparing the price it gets when trading all of its balance in a token versus the price it would get if it traded only 1% of the balance. If the price in the full balance case is worse by too much it will not trade.

This feels wrong to me because it is likely that if the bot had fewer funds in the first place then the slippage wouldn't be a problem. The solution could be to trade low amounts by default instead of using the full balance.
