How to build a memecoin trading routine

Pre-session preparation

• Confirm your burner wallet has trading-only capital plus a SOL fee buffer.
• Note the current narrative/meta money is rotating into.
• Set or review your risk-per-trade cap and total exposure limit for the day.
• Make sure your alerts are running and notifications are on.

Screening and selection

• Triage candidates (from alerts or discovery) with a fast rug screen.
• Lead with liquidity and unique buyers, not price or volume.
• Verify authorities and LP; reject any non-negotiable failure.
• Check holder concentration and launch behavior.

Sizing and entry

• Size to your risk cap and to pool depth (small fraction of liquidity).
• Avoid chasing parabolic candles; favor early, broadening demand.
• Set an appropriate slippage for the specific pool and size.
• Enter decisively once the setup and checks align.

Trade management and exits

• Have take-profit targets and an invalidation set before entry.
• Ladder out into strength; recover initial cost early.
• Exit fast if liquidity drains or insiders distribute.
• Execute the plan on trigger without renegotiating.

Post-session review

• Log every trade: setup, size, result, and what you felt.
• Tag recurring mistakes (oversizing, late entries, no stop).
• Note which alert types actually made money; mute the rest.
• Adjust one rule at a time based on the data, not vibes.

Why the routine compounds

A routine turns each trade into a data point instead of a one-off thrill. Over time, the review loop surfaces your edges and your leaks, and tightening rules against the leaks is what slowly moves you from the losing majority toward the disciplined minority.
