AI Summary

This video provides a complete, step-by-step strategy for trading meme coins with a small budget of 0.1 SOL. It covers setting up trading filters, analyzing coins before buying, and implementing exit strategies to maximize gains and minimize losses.

[00:02]
Introduction to the Strategy

The video promises a full strategy from scratch, including terminal setup, filters, coin analysis, and exit strategies, all with a 0.1 SOL budget.

[00:42]
Sponsor: rugs.fun

Sponsor segment for rugs.fun, a meme coin experience where rugging is the point. Includes features like buying/selling, shorting, side bets, and games.

[02:18]
Filter Setup: New Pairs

Filters: max age 20 minutes for new pairs, global fees paid at least 1 SOL, and at least one social selected.

[02:33]
Filter Setup: Final Stretch

Final stretch filters: max age 167 minutes, market cap minimum $300k, global fees paid 1, at least 100 transactions, and at least one social.

[03:54]
Filter Setup: Migrated Coins

Migrated coins: at least one social, market cap minimum $15k, and high global fees paid.

[04:09]
The 30-Minute Rule

Wait 30 minutes before trading to analyze the market, understand the narrative, and avoid buying into coins that are already rugged or abandoned.

[05:16]
Analyzing Coins: Vibes and OG Check

Check the vibes: look at the meta, see if there is an OG coin (if so, it's a vamp and likely won't run), and assess the narrative's strength.

[06:50]
Analyzing Coins: Holders and Fees

Check holders' average entry and global fees paid (high fees are a good sign). Ignore bundler stats at low market caps.

[07:45]
Analyzing Coins: Volume and Expectations

Set realistic expectations based on volume. For slow-moving coins, set a time-based exit (e.g., 20 minutes) regardless of profit or loss.

[08:49]
Exit Strategy: Fast-Moving Coins

For fast-moving coins, use a 5-minute pump window or a 50% dump stop-loss. Vamps are not guaranteed to fail, but most do.

[10:55]
Position Sizing and Settings

Set buy and sell settings with 20% slippage and low priority. Position size: buy with 0.03-0.05 SOL when you have 0.2-0.25 SOL.

[10:26]
Final Tips: Avoid Holding Too Long

The biggest mistake is holding coins too long, which turns profits into losses. Consistency comes from discipline, not conviction.

[00:02] with 0.1 Solana and it actually worked out pretty decent. So this video is the how, completely from scratch. I'm going to show you how to set up your trading terminal, the exact filters I use, you can just copy them straight from my

[00:15] screen, then how to actually read a coin before you touch it, what you're looking at and more importantly what you're ignoring because most of it is just noise. And then the part nobody talks about, which is getting out. Your entry,

[00:28] your exit, your position size, your fees, all of it. If you've got 0.1 Solana and a terminal open, by the end of this video you'll know exactly what to do with both. But before we get into filters, I want to thank rugs.fun for

[00:42] sponsoring today's video. Rugs.fun is basically this, the meme coin experience except rug is the whole point. You get a chart, you buy in and sell before it

[00:54] contract to check, no holders to scroll through, no sitting there wondering if the dev is about to send it to zero because he is. That's guaranteed. That's the entire premise. But here's the part I actually like. You can buy and sell

[01:09] dip and sell for a little bit of profits. And not only that, you can also decide to short the coin, just like that I shorted Oh, bang! There we go. That's one Solana right there. This right here is more control than you get on an

[01:23] actual meme coin. They've also got side bet. You can genuinely bet if the chart is going to rug in the next 10 seconds. And if you are correct, you get a clean 5x on your balance. They also have multiple other games, somewhat of a coin

[01:36] flip right here. There's also candle flip. You can also play clusters. And as you continue playing these games, you get a lot of rewards in terms of crates. You can just open the crate and get a bunch of rewards. There we go, free

[01:49] Solana or otherwise you just lose. Link is in the description, use code gravy, and obviously it's a game so only play with what you're fine losing. Now, back guys can do is have a good set of filters. Configuring these filters are

[02:04] join the Discord from the link in the of them. Just paste them right here, and you would be good to go. Or if you just look at the screen, see what I do. On the audit section, the max age should be

[02:18] sitting in the new pairs for more than 20 minutes, it's probably not going to run as well. For metrics, we'll just have global fees paid set to one because you see on the new pairs. And for the ones that are left, you can just decide

[02:33] just need to have at least one social selected. For final stretch, we're going to start over again. Audit is going to be 167 minutes max. Now, you can keep this according to you. If you think the market is not favoring CTO-ing like 30

[02:48] or 1 hour-old coins, then set this to a lot lower, maybe like 30 minutes. This is the max age. So, if a token hits, let's just say 30 minutes, it will visible. It might still appear on the new pairs tab, but not on the final

[03:03] rewarding slow runners, then you can have it set about 160 or or [ __ ] 167. Then we go on to metrics. 300k market cap minimum. I don't know why the [ __ ]

[03:16] Oh. Oh, I know why I have this. Some coins that reach the final stretch, they will be at 23k market cap. You wait an hour, and they're at 2k market cap. And now, what these KOLs do, they decide to bundle the coin, so getting a lot of

[03:30] supply at the bottom and create a momentum push on the coin. And it just migrates out of nowhere. So, this is for keeping an eye out for the coins that looked good, but didn't really send at all. So, you can just go ahead and buy

[03:42] them. Global fees paid is still one. You can make it a bit higher, but that's what I roll with. At least 100 transactions minimum is also at least one social. Migrated is pretty simple. We're going to have at least one social

[03:54] here. Now, the metrics we'll have a $15,000 market cap minimum and the global fees paid is going to be high. There we go. So, now you have my what amounts do you buy with? Once you're here with let's just say 0.2 0.1

[04:09] Solana, how are you supposed to navigate this market? First thing that I want you to do is not trade for the first 30 minutes. Just do not click a coin. Even if something is running to a hundred billion dollars in market cap, do not.

[04:22] First 30 minutes, you guys are going to analyze the market. Like, what is the narrative? What is running? And there are reasons for that. One, the pretty market. You know what to expect in a runner and that is really, really good.

[04:35] But also, if there is enough volume where they're sending coins to 200k market cap, then there is going to be enough volume for a one more coin to go to 100 day market cap. So, the best bet is to wait. And also, what if this coin

[04:49] right here goes to zero and then everybody forgets about it and then they launch one more Jonah Hill coin. Since it's a good coin because it ran, you're don't know it has already been made. You buy into the coin, you get rugged, you

[05:02] lose your balance. Or if the coin is good, people are going to find the OG and run with that. And you wouldn't have known because you were not on when the your eyes at all. So, then how can you remember it? So, please wait for 30

[05:15] minutes before starting to trade. I'm going to give you a protocol on how to thing is the vibes. You look at these coins. You know the meta is something stupid like this. Maybe the FOMO memes. Could be anything, right? So, you look

[05:28] at what could run. This animal is catching some volume. We just saw it in chart. What is happening? Okay, not the healthiest chart if I'm being honest and first thing we need to do is check if there is an OG. And boom, there we go.

[05:43] We have an OG. So, why would this coin run? That would be your first thoughts, but if you look at the charts, it is still going up. But would I be interested in buying this coin? Even though it is catching volume, I would

[05:55] say no, because this coin, this vamp essentially is good because they're donating, which is very, very nice. And that's one thing that the other coin did not have. So could this vamp the coin, which is basically sitting at 750k in

[06:09] market cap? You would think no, and you would be correct. This is not vamping. So this coin, according to our strategy, is not eligible to be bought. Okay, Kimchi is going pretty popular in the normie social media and also the meme

[06:22] coin social media. So could this coin run? Let's just look. But I would assume this is a TikTok with Kimchi in it. Now would do TikToks hold that much motion? Does Kimchi hold that much motion yet? That is for you to decide. And for me,

[06:35] Kimchi's meme is kind of dying. There is no way they run this to multi-100k market cap. And that is how you look at all of these coins. Once you find right? Let's just say you find this coin good cuz it is catching slow momentum,

[06:50] it is getting slowly bundled. If you like this coin, what do you need to check? Number one thing I would say is just scroll down here, look at the holders, look at their average entry. So 7k, 9k, like it is pretty bought up,

[07:04] right? Top 10 holders have 25% of this coin, which at this low market cap is very normalized now. So this is not what we're worried about. And one more very legit thing about this is this has 15 Solana paid in fees, which is a

[07:19] really good sign. Although bundlers are looking pretty high, but I personally like to ignore this stat right here because at lower market caps, every single multi-wallet is going to look like a bundle. Though I could be wrong,

[07:31] don't know how accurate this thing is, but I don't use it. I just look at the global fees paid, and that is all I care about. The second thing is volume. So you have to put realistic expectations when buying a coin. Since the last

[07:45] transaction was 40 seconds ago, it is very unlikely that this is going to be a fast-moving chart. It's going to catch slow volume, maybe migrate, maybe volatile for a bit, and then it decides whether to go up, whether to go down,

[07:57] right? That's just how much FOMO it generates and how good the narrative is, right? So, this coin we cannot expect to instantly send up or instantly send down. But, it is more likely for it to go down than up because the narrative,

[08:11] as we discussed, is not that strong. So, if you do decide to buy this coin right here, you should have a set time that you would sell it in. Maybe in 20 minutes if it does not catch any volume and the price is all the way down at,

[08:24] let's just say, 6K market cap. It should not matter how much conviction you have. there. That's how you should be cutting losses in these slow-moving coins. Now, the reason why we don't have a set stop

[08:36] loss is because in the 20 minutes this could go to zero, then get CTO'd back up again. That that is something we don't know. But, in 20 minutes, whether or not if it's in a loss or in a profit, we're going to go ahead and sell this coin.

[08:48] The last thing is the fast-moving coins. For example, something like this, this pew coin right here. I think this has been done before, so a quick little coins made. Why would this one be running in particular? Does not matter

[09:01] because now our guard is up and you're not going to buy a coin that is eventually going to go down to zero. And if a vamp like this does go really, really high, then you can decide later whether or not to buy because if it did

[09:13] not run to even 10K then and it run to a million right now, it's surely going to 10 million. So, you can wait on these type of coins. The vamps are not guaranteed to fail, but but most of them do. That is how you analyze fast-moving

[09:26] coins. Mix up the identification of coins, what to read in them, how to go your trading style. Combine all of those together and you get a set formula. For just say 5 minutes for it to pump and then you sell as a stop loss or maybe or

[09:43] maybe if it dumps 50% right? On slow runners, I told you set it to 20 minutes or whatever you have set for a filter right here. So you need to have a set selling strategy in meme coins because I've ran up 0.1 sol, I've ran 0.07 sol

[09:58] and I've even dealt with balances starting with five sol, three sol right? I do consider myself skilled enough but the one thing that I go wrong in is holding coins for a lot longer. That is the reason why I cannot make money with

[10:11] meme coins very consistently because from point two I would be at 1.4 sol and then I see a good runner I park 1.4 sol in it overnight and that initial sol has turned into 0.5 something like that right? So that is the thing that I need

[10:26] conviction. You should be aiming to not just trench the coin so buying at 2K selling at 10K but also be interested in that, it's not going to last you an overnight whole session most likely

[10:40] unless it's really really good but that is very very rare. The next thing that keeping the buy settings and the sell settings. I would just do this 20% slippage very little priority very little bribe sell settings the exact

[10:55] do want to get out of coins when you want to just as simple as that. And how much do you buy with is also very simple. If I have 0.2 25, I would buy simple. If I have 0.2 25, I would buy with 0.05 or 0.03 solana. That would be

[11:09] my limits no more than that and no less than that either. You have to play a bit risky. Anyways man, that is going to be it for the video. Anything you would I'll answer it. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you in the next one.

[11:22] watching. I'll see you in the next one. Bye-bye.
