For my small fries battling the trenches
1. Conviction vs. Gambles
Know your "Why." Are you betting on a long-term runner or is this a quick 1.5x–3x? In this market, focus on stacking 50%–200% gains to build your bankroll. Don't treat every coin like a "moonshot" until you can afford the risk or it absolutely shows the signs (even then, it doesn’t “have” to go)
2. Buy Dips, Don't "Topblast"
Flip your psychology: Be eager to buy support levels and fearful of buying green candles.
• Wait for the setup: Use previous support/resistance levels and Fibonacci retracements(Trenches don’t have to respect these levels, but it’s good practice vs just topblasting with no plan).
• Avoid FOMO: If you buy the top, accept that a 50%–80% drawdown is likely before any potential pump, and be ready to accept a loss because majority won’t make it.
3. Take Initials & De-risk
Never fall in love with a ticker.
• Mandatory: Pull your initial investment as soon as possible.
• Take Profit (TP): If the chart looks gassed at an All-Time High, sell. You can always buy back in on the higher-low.
4. Respect the Weekend
No trading on Saturdays and Sundays. The liquidity is thin, the rug-pulls are frequent, and your mental health is more valuable than a weekend pump. Go outside.
5. Avoid "Derivative Wars"
When a meta gets crowded (10+ tokens with the same theme), liquidity fragments and vamps bleed out. If you aren't in the first few tokens of a new meta, you're playing slots. Period. Stay away.
6. Practice Emotional Detachment
• Red Flags: Don't ignore them just because you want to be part of a community or think the token is so good it has to run. If it's dead, or community is vocalizing a lot of concerns, or Dev disappeared, cut the loss.
• The Screenshot Rule: If you’re excited enough to screenshot your gains, it’s time to take P. Don't roundtrip a winning trade back to zero.
7. Pre-Set Your Exit Strategy
Before you hit "Buy," have a plan for:
• Stop Loss: Your absolute "get out" price.
• TP Levels: Where you pull initials and where you take profit(can be multiple levels, 10% here, 25% there, let the runners run but take P on the way up)
Logic builds bags; emotions empty them.
8. Quality Over Quantity (The "High-Conviction" Filter)
Turn your trading frequency down to turn your PnL up. You don't need 100 trades a day; you need 3 that actually make sense.
• Stop Micro-Rinsing: Trading 100 "shitters" at 0.1 SOL each just drains your bag through fees and slippage.
• Size Up on Quality: Cut your trade volume by 80% and increase your position size on high-conviction setups.
• Patience is Profit: Sitting on your hands is a valid trading strategy. 1-3 well-timed, higher-size trades will always outperform 20 frantic gambles. Remember: we aren't trading with whale-sized bags—make every SOL count.
