## Summary

The video documents a trader's experiment starting with $10 (0.13 SOL) to determine if profitable meme coin trading is viable in the current market. Using a strict full-port strategy with 2x profit targets and narrative analysis, the trader executes three trades on Solana-based new pairs. The experiment ends with a profit of 0.5 SOL, demonstrating that discipline and narrative-driven decisions can turn small capital into gains.

### Key Points

- **Challenge Setup** [00:02] — Starts with $10 (0.13 SOL) to test if tiny bankroll can be turned into real money in today's meme coin market.
- **Fee and Slippage Settings** [00:56] — Sets priority fee and tip to 0.001, slippage to 25%, and disables MEV protection for small trades.
- **Trading Strategy Defined** [01:24] — Plan: trade only new pairs, full port each coin, sell 100% at 2x to compound gains. Aim to reach 0.4-0.5 SOL before adjusting.
- **Filter Configuration** [02:15] — Sets filters: min market cap 6500, min fees 0.25, min holders 15, max recycled Twitter accounts 2, top 10 holders max 40%.
- **First Trade: Trencher** [03:28] — Invests 0.1 SOL into Trencher at 6K market cap due to 4th of July narrative. Sells at 3x for 0.2 SOL profit (not following the 2x plan but justified by strong narrative).
- **Second Trade: Mog Bull** [07:36] — Buys Mog Bull at 17K market cap after dip, sells near 2x at 30K for 0.16 SOL profit. Notes that OG coins have better staying power.
- **Third Trade: Tech Cat** [10:03] — Invests 0.3 SOL in Tech Cat at 13K market cap due to trending cat meta. Sells at 20K for 0.14 SOL profit.
- **Final Results and Learning** [11:11] — Ends with 0.5 SOL profit (~$40). Emphasizes that FOMO and emotional trading lead to losses, while following a plan and learning from missed entries can improve skills.

### Conclusion

The trader successfully turned $10 into $40 by executing three disciplined trades, validating that with a solid strategy and narrative analysis, small capital can grow in the meme coin market.

## Transcript

the black pool coin at around 50k market cap, you would have made over $80,000. So that got me thinking, how much money can you actually make trading meme coins with just $10 in today's market? I ran this exact challenge around 6 months ago
using only 0.1 Solana, which is roughly the same as $10. That video got over 80,000 views, but the market back then was completely dead. Now, everything has changed. A $400 million plus runner has brought the trenches back to life.
Volume is exploding. New opportunities are everywhere. And if there was ever a time to run this challenge back, it's now. So today I'm starting with just $10 to find out one thing. Can you actually turn a tiny bankroll into real money in
today's market, or is it a complete waste of time? Let's find out. Right now, 10 US dollars buys us around 0.123 of Solana. Let's round it up to 0.13, my trading platform wallet. First of all, if you're trading with something
like this, if you're just learning, if you just want to test meme coins, you priority and right fees, I usually trade with something like this, 0.001 for both. But today, we're broke as once again, so we have to add an extra zero,
so the fees don't eat us up. The slippage at 25 is all right. Let's keep single time, make sure that your MEV protection is off. It's not recommended. if you're trading with 0.1 Solana. Forget about it. Nobody's going to MEV
you with 0.1 Solana. Now, our strategy. Our strategy for today's video is very simple. First of all, I will adjust some filters in the new pair section in a bit because we're going to be trading new pairs today. There's absolutely no point
trading migrated tokens with only 0.1 Solana because for us to make money in the migrated section with this port, it will take us, I don't know, like a year. tokens are more risky than the migrated
Meme coins are risky. Only invest what you can afford to lose. I think the most reasonable way of approaching this challenge is finding decent tokens with beginning we have to full port them, but we will be selling at a 2x every single
time. Let me do my mathematical analysis. If we manage to catch a 2x five times full porting the whole thing, we have a chance to walk away with $320. Probably we're not going to full port the whole thing, but we're going to full
sure. But until we get to at least like 0.4 or 0.5, we have to we have to take right, let's cook the filters up. As always, pump and dump. Let's put the market cap to minimum 6,500. Total fees paid, this is an important one for me.
Let's put the minimum at 0.25. By the way, I'm trading on a brand new trading if you're trading on Axiom, GMGN, Terminal, everything in this video well. Let's put at least 15 holders. Then, we do not want coins with recycled
Twitter accounts because they're usually very low effort and therefore extremely [ __ ] So, let's put the maximum of two and the top 10 holders of maximum 40. So, we're not filtering anything aggressively. What is this bonky coin?
this, I want to say click my follow button or I bonk your head. Very persuasive. Also, as I said, today is the 3rd of July and tomorrow is the 4th Day. So, yeah, probably this video is going to come out in around a week or
two, but uh yeah, we have to use the fact that tomorrow is uh national holiday because as I always say, seasonal demand for like holidays, events that happen rarely have a huge impact on what can run today. Trencher,
perfect runner for the 4th of July. Sending fees to veterans, ex-trenchers. exactly what I've been talking about. All right, let's throw in 0.1 into this All right, let's throw in 0.1 into this one. Our average entry is 6K.
strategy and we're going to sell 100% here. This is not a 2x, this is a 3x. We're already up 0.2 Solana, 3x on the first coin. And yeah, I know I should have probably held it a bit longer. I should have sold maybe 50% here. But
choose a strategy for a specific trading day, I follow it. But honestly, I do not regret my execution at all. The narrative is pretty strong. Again, as I said, tomorrow is Independence Day and everybody knows that meme coin traders
trachers are obviously veterans and also Ansem just tweeted this. Obviously with a black bull in the background. Not surprised at all. Then a cheeky little airdrop hint in the background as well. Great narrative analysis and it's really
after I talked about Independence Day coins. Subscribe. What have we got here? It already migrated though, but this dip. You know, I like dips. OpenAI dev just posted new OpenAI merch featuring a frog
called Codex. They have used an AI detector for the post and determined that the image is apparently 95% real. But a big red flag is I have no idea who this guy is and I have no mutual follows. America 250. Guys, there's a
new normie scam coin going viral on TikTok. They're promoting American 250 coin on Meteora. >> Launch of America's digital currency, >> [laughter] >> I mean, it didn't migrate yet. [ __ ] it.
is a good time to buy if it goes anywhere close to 13. immediately selling it off. When you're entering a coin, you need to determine goes below that point, you have to immediately sell. Like that's how I
bounce back, I do not regret selling it. Personally, before I ape into any coin, profits and where I'm going to cut my losses. It doesn't have to be a specific how much you're willing to risk on this specific coin. And on this specific
much. The narrative was decent, but not very strong, you know, like people on TikTok I I watched all these TikToks. They were saying that apparently Trump is going to launch a national coin named America 250. Also, apparently in
Simpsons, as always, they predicted this coin. But yeah, we got what we got. Also, I see a lot of people falling to this trap. When they see Elon Musk's looking. In this case, for example, the tweet just says Grok 4.5 has the best
real-world ROI. That's it. And this genius dev here called the coin ROI Retards on Internet. You can clearly see that he's forcing it. You can clearly nothing to do with the tweet itself. But, some people just see Elon Musk's
tweet and ape. Don't do that. If you watched any of my previous trading live trading sessions, you probably know that I'm against tech coins. Because usually 99% of these tech coins are low-effort [ __ ] coins that nobody cares
they have a road map, but it's not even funny. It's just a coin about some to implement, and it doesn't even entertain you. Like, what the [ __ ] What's the point? But, this coin right here, the X Soul coin, sounds very
promising. I watched a bit of the live here. I spotted it at like 7K. What he's promising. Actually, you know what? I think I'm going to wait until the happens. As soon as the coin migrates,
lot of traders immediately sell. So, look, right right now there might be a dip down to like 25K. And as you can see, as I predicted, a dip did happen. coin, because I only have 0.2 Soul, and honestly, it's at 25K, so it's a bit too
X Soul, and X Soul is basically like a a new Twitter bot. So, apparently, you can like open a Twitter post and just type the X Soul bot. So, for example, someone years old, they have no idea what Pump Fun is, they have no idea what meme
coins are, and they can literally just tag X Soul. Apparently, I did not verify yeah, they can tag X Soul and just type in like, "Create me a Solana wallet." command. I have no idea how it works. Not sure if it's even true or not, but
the guy here on the live stream does sound convincing. So, yeah, if I If I probably look into this project. Let's add it to the watch list and just keep an eye on it throughout the rest of the video. Mog Bull, Mog Dog and Mog Cat.
Well, Ansem is mogging everyone. I think Mog Bull makes the most sense. simple. It's easy to understand and I think we're still amazing. I like simple coins. Don't tell me that it's not going to dip. Just dip
a bit. Just a slight dip. Bro, come on. Okay, I'm buying this dip. A small dip a mental thing, you know. Bro, my average entry is way too high. It's 17 average entry is way too high. It's 17 k. I'm not happy with that.
strategy and sell once at a 2x like we planned at the beginning of the video. for the exact 2x. So, yeah, at around 30, 32, I'll probably be selling it off.
my strategy. Not quite a 2x. Almost a 2x. So, we bought in at 17, sold at 30. 2x. So, we bought in at 17, sold at 30. Our PNL for this coin is 0.16 Solana, which is like 12 bucks. Look at my Hasbulla PNL cards. Very creative,
isn't it? Let's move on. Let's move on to another coin. But another reason why I didn't want to hold this Mog Bull coin is just look Look how many of them there are. This is not an OG coin by any means. So, the risk does increase, but
pump. You need to understand that OG coins have a much better chance of securing their position at the top. They have a much better chance of pumping and staying staying pumped. The XOL coin, by the way, ended up peaking at 35 k and I
think we were about to enter at like 20. So, we would have made some money. Not a 2x. Nowhere close. But still. Was it worth the risk? I don't think so. For coin that I want to buy into and then for some reason I don't end up aping
to the watch list and coming back to it in like half an hour. This way you without actually buying into it without risking your own money. And when you so much from it. You can learn so much
the position you wanted to enter at. And doing this over and over again can because the fear of missing out in meme coins will ruin your trading experience. You just need to understand that emotional trading will turn your trading
into gambling. Another easy narrative, let's throw in 0.3 into this one. That's I'm not going to do it. I'm sorry, but follow your gut and now I just couldn't resist it. Uh so the the whole point of
the coin is tech spelled backwards is ket and ket sounds like cat and um cats at the moment are trending a lot because of cash cat obviously. So I think that It has like a website attached. The website is pretty cool.
at 2x would be at 26, but honestly with this narrative, not sure I'm going to hold that long. I'm probably going to sell it off at around 20. sitting 100% and look, we already made 0.5 SOL. On this coin our PNL is 0.14
wasn't for cash cat, if it wasn't for the trending cat meta, I would not have is a skill that has a lot of factors combined in it. Like you have to analyze have to follow your gut. And that's exactly what I did here. I do not like
blasting this coin if you remember. The execution was great. Look, right after really like this round number on my money you can start trading, experimenting, learning about meme
showed that with only 10 bucks in your account, making life-changing money is the best way to learn. After when you make like 0.5 or 1 Solana, you'll already know what to do with it. If you are new on this channel and if you don't
