Okay, first thing I do every time I fire up DEX Screener? Jump straight to Solana and crank the age filter to under 5 hours. Why? Because that's where the real action hides - fresh meme coins popping off before the herd piles in. Solana's got those dirt cheap fees, like ~0.000005 SOL per swap, so you can snipe without bleeding cash on gas. In my experience, anything older than that starts getting manipulated or just pumps and dumps too predictably.
Hit dex screener dot com on your phone or desktop. Boom, left menu. Scroll to Solana, click it. Now sort by "New" - you'll see pairs launched minutes ago. Sound familiar? That's how I caught a 10x last month on some dog themed nonsense.
Look, the bottom tabs - Screener, Search, Watchlist, Alerts, Menu - they're your control center. Start with Screener. Tap the 24h dropdown, slide to 5m, 1h, whatever fits your vibe. But here's the thing: most newbies mess this up by not filtering chains first.
Now, platforms like Raydium dominate Solana listings. Don't sweat picking one - set to "All" and scroll. Sort by market cap? Yeah, filter $2k to $10k range for those sneaky gems with room to run. Apply, and watch the list shrink to gold. Pretty much filters out rugs instantly.
Edit or delete anytime from there. In my experience, alerts saved me from FOMO buys twice last week - one pumped 5x while I slept.
Scroll up top. Trending shows what's hot now. New? Fresh launches across chains - stick to Solana. Gainers with sharp 24h spikes? Gold if volume backs it. But why does this matter? Volume tells the story - look for buys crushing sells, like 34k buys vs 4k sells on a 483k total.
Slide to "Top Traders." See who's making bank? Copy their wallets later. One time I tailed a whale, turned 0.5 SOL into 5 SOL overnight. Risky? Hell yeah, but that's the game.
Multicharts hack: Open up to 16 at once. Perfect for juggling 5 Solana memes while eyeing ETH. No tab switching BS. I usually run 4-6, color code 'em green for buys, red for dumps.
Pick one, tap in. Charts first - TradingView style, candlesticks, RSI, MAs. Add RSI to spot overbought (above 70? Wait). Timeframes: 5m for snipes, 1h for trends. Customize trend lines, brush tools - play around.
stats down the side. Price in SOL, say 0.473 SOL for 1 token. Liquidity? Green padlock means locked - dev can't rug you. No green circle? Run. Volume: high buys = momentum. Market cap: low is good for 1000x dreams, but check holders - aim for 100+ and growing.
Age: Under 3 hours? Prime. Copy contract address (one tap). Socials? Telegram, Twitter links - join quick, gauge hype. Chat tab? Scroll for dev updates, but watch for shills.
| Metric | Green Light | Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidity | Locked (green circle), $10k+ | Unlocked, under $5k |
| Volume (5m) | $50k+, buys > sells | Low, sell heavy |
| Holders | 200+, rising | Under 50, whales dominating |
| MC | $5k-$50k | $0 or millions already |
This table? My cheat sheet. Print it mentally. One bad metric, skip it.
Portfolio tab, paste whale address from top traders. Real time moves. Or track your own bag. Smart gains come from copying winners, not guessing.
Potential issue: Failed txns from high traffic. Solution? Bump priority fee to 0.0001 SOL. And always test small, like 0.1 SOL first. Honest mistake I made early - lost 1 SOL to slippage on a pump.
Back to screener. Best settings? Solana > Raydium > New pairs > 5h age > $2k-$20k MC > 50+ txns/5m > Liquidity locked. Apply. Boom, 10-20 coins max. Scroll, check each.
Why 50 txns? Dead volume is fake. Rising holders? Organic growth. I usually snipe 2-3 per session, never more - discipline wins.
Pro tip: Rug check post filter. Copy CA to dextools or honeypot.is. Paid donation? Safer. No? Still risky, but green liquidity helps.
Issue 1: Rugs. Fix: Liquidity locked + no top holder over 20%. Refresh holders tab.
Issue 2: Sandwich attacks. DEX Screener flags weird patterns - skip if volume dips sudden.
Issue 3: FOMO buys. Alerts fix this. Set MC/price, walk away.
Flash loans? Watch for massive single txns. Solana's fast, but data lags seconds - be patient.
In my experience, 80% of losses from ignoring liquidity. The thing is, green padlock isn't foolproof, but it's 90% there.
Top Traders tab: Sort 1d/30d profits. Copy addresses, track in Portfolio. See their buys early.
Holders: Refresh for live count. Whales hiding sells? Look for clustered wallets.
Bots: BonkBot or Trojan for instant swaps. Link DEX Screener, set auto buy on volume spike. Risky AF, start manual.
Multicharts for pros: Pin Solana gainers + ETH alts. Spot cross chain pumps.
Morning: Trending Solana, new under 2h. Filter hard.
Afternoon: Check watchlist alerts, top traders.
Night: Review losses - sort by biggest Ls, learn.
What's next? Scale up. Start 0.5 SOL bags, pyramid if 2x. Take profits at 5x, trail stops.
One more: Free tier rocks for basics. Premium? Faster updates, historical data - worth it if you're grinding daily.
Customization: Dark mode in menu. Trend lines for manual TA. RSI + MACD combo slaps for memes.
DEX Screener spots rugs via indicators, but verify CA everywhere. Never click sketch links. Use hardware wallet for big bags. Phishing? Bookmark site, type manual.
