Best Practices
Do's
- •Verify token address on Solscan or Birdeye before buying
- •Check RugCheck risk score (aim for low scores under 1000)
- •Verify liquidity is adequate (min 10-20 SOL recommended)
- •Start with smaller amounts for testing new tokens
- •Use higher priority fees during network congestion
- •Review quote before confirming transaction
Don'ts
- •Don't buy tokens with mint/freeze authority enabled
- •Don't trade tokens with extremely low liquidity (<5 SOL)
- •Don't ignore high slippage warnings (>5% is risky)
- •Don't rush - take time to research before buying
- •Don't skip checking contract source on blockchain explorer
- •Don't trade immediately after token launch (high volatility)
Trading Tips
Speed
Use higher priority fees (0.005+ SOL) for faster execution during high network congestion.
Safety
Always check Rugcheck score and verify token contract before buying. Avoid tokens with mint authority.
Monitoring
Keep an eye on price charts and volume. Use the dashboard to track your P&L in real-time.
