AI Summary

This video presents a strategy for identifying and purchasing newly deployed Solana-based tokens (Ninklins) before they gain widespread attention, aiming to capitalize on early price surges. The creator demonstrates a specific filter setup on the Axiom trading platform to screen for promising low-market-cap coins and discusses optimal entry timing to avoid common pitfalls.

[00:00]
The Core Problem

99% of people buy Ninklins after they pump, which is why they lose money. The video promises a strategy to find and buy these tokens before the hype starts.

[00:14]
Platform Setup

The strategy requires a trading terminal/platform, specifically Axiom (with a referral link offering 40% off fees). The focus is on 'new pairs' or newly deployed tokens.

[00:26]
Filter Configuration

Detailed filter settings are shown: enable 'pump', 'bonk', and 'bags' quote tokens; enable 'SOL', 'USDC', 'USD1' quote tokens; set 'recent visitors' to 10, 'age' to 15 minutes, 'holders' minimum to 8, and 'dev migrations' minimum to 1.

[00:54]
Metrics and Socials

Set market cap minimum to $4,000, global fees paid to $0.03, transactions to $4, and require at least one social link. These filters help eliminate 'trash coins' and identify tokens with genuine buying activity.

[01:11]
Rationale for Filters

Market cap above $4,000 indicates the coin is getting buys (spawns at ~$2,500). Global fees paid and transactions confirm real activity. Recent visitors (at least 10) show current interest. Holders (at least 8) ensure some distribution.

[02:08]
Applying Filters

The creator applies the filters and notes that 'pump', 'bonk', and 'bags' are the current 'training platforms'. He promotes his Discord for real-time entries and an AI scanner.

[02:21]
Entry Timing and Mistakes

The creator discusses entry timing, using a Doge coin example that migrated and went from ~$10k to a $7M market cap, illustrating a potential 7x return if bought early.

[03:19]
Avoid Buying in the 5k-7k Range

Avoid buying in the $5k-$7k market cap range because a single large holder (e.g., 3%) can easily dump and crash the chart. This is a common mistake.

[03:44]
Preferred Buying Zones

The creator's favorite buying range is above $15k market cap, or around $10k-$14k, especially after dips. This provides more stability than the lower ranges.

[04:15]
Paper Trading Example

The creator shows a paper trading account (challenge: 100 SOL to 1000 SOL) where he bought 5 SOL and is already up 108%, demonstrating the strategy's potential.

[05:08]
Real-Time Example

A coin went to a $110k market cap and then dropped. The creator's paper trade is up 108%, showing a $400 investment turning into $530 (a $130 profit).

[05:49]
Importance of Narratives

Emphasizes buying coins with good narratives (e.g., Twitter trends) rather than 'trash coins'. The example coin had a strong narrative, contributing to its success.

[06:01]
Conclusion

The video concludes by summarizing the strategy: find low market cap coins with good metrics and narratives, buy at the right time, and avoid common mistakes.

The video provides a specific, filter-based strategy for identifying early-stage Solana tokens with high growth potential, emphasizing the importance of entry timing and avoiding common mistakes. The creator promotes his tools and community for further guidance.

[00:00] 99% of people buy Ninklins after they pump and that's exactly why they lose. In this video I'm going to show you how to find and buy Ninklins before the hype starts using a simple strategy that most people completely ignore. Alright guys the first step to this is actually having a trading terminal

[00:14] slash platform that you can actually trade on. So this is Axiom here and I'm going to have the link in the description to this. It's 40% off fees. It's the best link in the description that you could possibly use. So what we're going to be looking at is newly deployed tokens which is on

[00:26] this side right here which is new pairs. In this section here we're going to want to make sure that we have good settings which is filters and we're actually going to pass on the filters here and then we're going to make sure that pump bonk and bags are turned on and at the quote tokens down

[00:39] here soul usdc and usd1 are also turned on for audit we're going to have recent visitors on 10 age 15 minutes and then we're also going to have the holders on a minimum of eight and then for dev migrations we're gonna have this at a minimum of one so then we're gonna go to metrics the

[00:54] The market cap lowest is going to be $4,000. Global fees paid is going to be $0.03. Transactions is going to be $4. And for socials, we're just going to have at least one social. Now I'm going to break down why I have each one of these selected. For at least one social, this will totally get rid of all like trash coins that don't have anything linked and that were just made as swap.

[01:11] Now when we go to metrics, market cap above $4,000. All of these coins spawn in at a $2,500 or $2,700 market cap. If it's above $4,000, that means it's getting buys. So that means that we're going to want to look at those coins that are getting buys.

[01:23] For global fees paid, this is going to make sure that the coin is not actually a trash coin and you know it actually getting real buys For transactions we just going to want to have it at 4 This also is just going to get rid of most of the trash Recent visitors this is going to be this eye logo you see here with the eyes next to it And there like 14 and there 10 here We going to want to make sure

[01:42] that there's at least 10 people looking at it. This is basically going to show you, you know, what everyone is looking at in new pairs and what they're interested in right now. For holders, we're going to want at least eight holders. You could bring this down to five. I don't think it would make a huge difference, but for holders, you're going to want to have this down at eight.

[01:56] so then we can see all these as you can see this one just spawned in out of 10k and it's kind of in the crazy you know and then dev migrations we're gonna have this at one just so we see coins that actually have been made by a good developer the reason we have these on is that these are just

[02:08] the training platforms right now bags pump and vault so we're gonna apply these real quick if you guys want to see the exact trades i'm taking before i explode check out my vgc discourse i post real-time entries early new coin narratives and then ai scanner i used to find these plates

[02:21] before the cloud shows up but the community is constantly dropping alpha so you're never trading blind i'm serious about leveling up your trading the biq link is in the description i'll see you inside all right now we'll talk about entry timing and common mistakes that a lot of people you know make so we can see this doge one just kind of spawned in here and it totally just migrated

[02:36] and it's low-key one kind of crazy right now those just open dogecoin financial solutions you know about this or oposern yeah i mean like we just saw this down at like 10k this is a perfect example guys uh we just saw this down at 10k like all the way down here i think it was around here

[02:52] in this range and it just went to a 7uk market cap so you can just like mark this where you could have sold um you can see that if you would have bought down here just when you saw it come out you would have made like a 7x so if you put like one silver that like 7x which is like a hundred dollars in the 700 which is kind of crazy um that a good example of what just happened and yeah this looks like a pretty good coin as you can see it just running but let talk about what we were about to talk about which was entry timing

[03:19] and common mistakes that a lot of people are looking at so for entry mistakes i would definitely avoid buying in the range of i would say from around 5k to 7 in this range here this is

[03:31] definitely the range where you would buy like right here and then someone sells in a sense the chart all the way down here we're definitely not going to want that because you know one big sell if we're looking at holders like someone's holding like three percent i can just totally send

[03:44] the chart down so we're gonna want to be looking at maybe buying up in you know like the 12 10 14 range my favorite place to buy around you know this range basically like 60 to migration like for example this coin let's see if this is a real coin yeah this is a real coin so my favorite place

[04:00] to buy is in the the range of you know above 15k above that range um it's a decent place to buy and we actually just made this video on paper trading i'm going to enter into this year or we could have just entered into that uh i would want to be the bottom bill down here especially after dips as

[04:15] well that is the perfect time to buy so make sure you guys are getting good entry timing on these coins and you're not making these mistakes thank you to soul foam for sponsoring today's video go pump is a top on chance one game platform that i like using especially when markets are slow and

[04:52] when the markets are quiet, head over to Soul Pump and use my code to sleep. Now, let's get back to the video.

[05:08] went down. It went to a 110k market cap and totally just went down. As you guys can see, I bought five sole paper trading and I'm already at 200. So I mean, guys, trading in England is not that hard. A lot of people like to overcomplicate it. You know, getting good entries,

[05:21] like making a zone down here. This is not that hard. Finding the zone and selling. I just engine into this and you guys can see that we are up 108. This is on the paper trading account, which I'm doing like a challenge, like 100 sold to 1000. And you guys can see,

[05:34] like we're up pretty decent right now so it's 150 and yeah i mean let's just see what happens here also make sure that you guys are buying good narratives when they come out and not just like trash coins like some of these are just garbage like you knew we're going to want to be waiting on the actual you know twitter players and you actually come up with good narratives like one

[05:49] that we just saw so i mean boom we just made 130 on that um if we were trading real money and buying five sold down here would have just made 130 investing 400 to make 130 is not bad so yeah

[06:01] Yeah, that's basically today's video on how to find these coins that are actually low market caps that can go up very high. I hope you guys enjoyed this one. This is just something simple. Make sure you guys use my Axiom Referral link. It is right here. It is just sleeper.
