What to do when you get a sudden surge of alerts on one token
A practical playbook for one of the situations every memecoin trader eventually faces: when you get a sudden surge of alerts on one token.
How to read the situation
A flood of alerts on a single token can mean a genuine surge — or a noisy, wash-traded coin spamming your feed. The job is to triage fast and not let alert volume become a buy signal by itself.
Lead with whether unique buyers are actually broadening on stable liquidity, and apply a cooldown so one coin cannot dominate your attention.
What to do right now
- Check whether unique buyers are truly broadening.
- Confirm liquidity is stable or rising, not draining.
- Run a quick rug screen before any action.
- Apply a per-token cooldown to cut the spam.
- Decide with your plan, not the alert count.
What not to do
- ✗ Treating alert volume as conviction.
- ✗ Acting before a safety screen.
- ✗ Letting one token monopolize your feed.
- ✗ Chasing without checking unique buyers.
Reading the chart is step one. Getting pinged in real time is step two.
