Entry Strategies

Configure when and how your bot enters trading positions.

Filters

Liquidity

Set minimum and maximum liquidity requirements for token entries

  • From Amount: Minimum liquidity threshold (e.g., $10,000 USD equivalent)
  • To Amount: Maximum liquidity threshold (e.g., $1,000,000 USD equivalent)

Note: Liquidity values are displayed in USD for reference. The bot trades using SOL.

Purpose: Ensures your bot only trades tokens with adequate liquidity to prevent slippage and ensure smooth entry/exit execution.

Benefits:

  • Reduces risk of getting stuck in illiquid positions
  • Minimizes price impact when entering/exiting trades
  • Helps avoid tokens with manipulated prices due to low liquidity

Token Creation Cost

Verification of the token’s initial cost to avoid scams

Analyzes the cost associated with token creation to identify potential scam projects.

Purpose: Filters out tokens created with suspicious or minimal investment, which are often associated with rug pulls or low-quality projects.

Minimum LP Burn (%)

Minimum requirement of tokens burned in LP

Set the minimum percentage of LP tokens that must be burned before your bot considers trading.

Purpose: Ensures project commitment by requiring developers to permanently lock liquidity, reducing rug pull risk.

Deployed Supply

Verification that the token’s total supply is consistent with the project

Checks if the actual deployed token supply matches the project’s stated tokenomics.

Purpose: Identifies tokens with inconsistent or misleading supply information that could indicate fraudulent projects.

Max Holder / Top Holder (%)

Verification of token concentration among top holders

  • Max Holder %: Maximum percentage any single wallet can hold
  • Top Holder %: Maximum percentage the largest holders can collectively hold

Purpose: Prevents trading tokens with excessive concentration that could lead to market manipulation or major sell-offs.

Maximum Buy/Sell Tax

Cap on accepted taxes for buying and selling

  • Maximum Buy Tax: Highest acceptable tax percentage on purchases
  • Maximum Sell Tax: Highest acceptable tax percentage on sales

Purpose: Avoids tokens with excessive transaction fees that would significantly impact trading profitability.

Minimum Pair Age

Minimum number of blocks before investing

Set how many blocks must pass after pair creation before your bot can trade the token.

Purpose: Allows time for initial price discovery and reduces risk of trading immediately after launch when prices are most volatile.

Market Cap Range

Range definition to filter tokens by market capitalization

  • Minimum Market Cap: Smallest market cap to consider
  • Maximum Market Cap: Largest market cap to consider

Purpose: Focuses trading on tokens within your preferred market cap range based on risk tolerance and growth potential.

Honeypot Detection

Verification that the token can be sold after purchase (powered by CertiK)

CertiK-powered analysis to detect honeypot tokens that prevent selling after purchase.

Purpose: Protects against scam tokens designed to trap buyers by preventing them from selling their holdings.

How it works:

  • CertiK analyzes contract code for sell restrictions
  • Tests transaction simulation before actual trading
  • Real-time security screening on every token

Benefits:

  • Prevents permanent loss of funds in honeypot scams
  • Industry-leading detection by world’s top security firm
