Tips and Tricks for Solana Shitcoin Trading
Check for Honest Developers
- Verify mint authority to ensure it's not "mintable."
- Make sure the developers hold only 2-5% of the total supply using Rugcheck.
Invest in Potential Tokens
- Look for tokens with strong narratives and mechanisms like burning to reduce supply.
Use Available Tools
- Regularly monitor token movements using tools like Birdeye or DexScreen.
Be Aware of Risks
- Watch out for domains prone to soft rugs: .xyz, .pro, .vip, .fun, .cc.
- Check if liquidity is larger than the market cap, which could indicate a soft rug.
- Be cautious if developers distribute tokens to many addresses without burning or renouncing them.
Slippage Tolerance
- Understand slippage tolerance to avoid failed transactions due to price changes. For example, if you set slippage at 10% and the price increases by 50%, the transaction will fail. Higher tips (0.005+) are better for snipers, while manual buys usually work well with 5-15%.
Limit Your Investment
- Given the high risk, I usually limit my investments to under $20. Secure your capital whenever the value doubles.
