  1. Start a Telegram group
  2. Create Twitter account for token
  3. Build hype before launch
  4. Set launch date and time
  5. Get commitments from early buyers

Choose Good Branding​

  • Relevant to theme
  • Not too long (under 20 chars ideal)

Token Symbol:

  • 3-5 characters optimal
  • Easy to remember
  • Looks good on charts
  • Fits the theme

Logo:

  • Clear at small sizes
  • Recognizable

  • Consistent communication
  • Deliver on promises
  • Maintain enthusiasm

Paid Promotion:

  • Crypto influencers
  • Paid shills (use carefully)
  • Banner ads
  • Contest prizes
  • Giveaways

For Traders​

Research First​

Before Buying Any Token​

Check the Creator:

  • View creator wallet on BSCScan
  • Do they have other tokens?
  • Are those successful?
  • Have they dumped before?

Analyze the Token:

  • How much liquidity?
  • How many holders?
  • Is trading volume real?
  • What's the market cap?
  • Any red flags?

Examine Community:

  • Active Telegram/Twitter?
  • Real engagement or bots?
  • Creator responsive?
  • Community vibes positive?

Entry Strategy​

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)​

Instead of buying all at once:

  1. Split your budget into 3-5 parts
  2. Buy over several hours/days
  3. Average out your entry price
  4. Reduce risk from volatility

Example:

  • Budget: 0.5 BNB for buying
  • Split: 5 x 0.1 BNB
  • Buy: Every 2 hours
  • Result: Better average price
  • Note: This is for BUYING tokens, not creating them

Start Small​

First Buy:

  • Use only 10-20% of intended budget
  • See how token performs
  • Test community reaction
  • Verify everything works
  • Add more if bullish

Risk Management​

Position Sizing​

Note: These guidelines are for TRADING/BUYING tokens. Creating tokens only costs ~$0.50, so you can create as many as you want without risk!

Conservative Trading:

  • 1-5% of portfolio per token
  • Lower risk
  • Sleep better at night

Moderate Trading:

  • 5-10% per token
  • Balanced approach
  • Most common strategy

Aggressive Trading:

  • 10-25% per token
  • Higher risk/reward
  • Only for high conviction

Never:

  • Over 25% in single token
  • More than you can afford to lose
  • Borrowed money
  • Rent/bill money

Stop Losses​

Mental Stop Loss:

  • Decide exit price before buying
  • Stick to it no matter what
  • Emotions make bad decisions
  • Plan your exit

Example:

  • Buy at: $10k market cap
  • Stop loss: $5k market cap (50% down)
  • Take profit: $50k market cap (5x)

Exit Strategy​

Taking Profits​

The Ladder Method:

  • Don't sell everything at once
  • Sell portions at targets

Example:

  • 2x: Sell 25% (recover some initial)
  • 5x: Sell 25% (more profits secured)
  • 10x: Sell 25% (most profits out)
  • Moon: Let 25% ride

Knowing When to Sell​

Sell Signals:

  • Token hit your target
  • Creator dumped
  • Community dying
  • Volume decreasing
  • Better opportunities exist
  • You need the money

Don't Sell Just Because:

  • Small pullback
  • Someone said to
  • Fear of missing out (on other tokens)
  • One red candle

Advanced Trading​

Reading Charts​

Bullish Signs:

  • Higher lows
  • Increasing volume
  • Growing holders
  • Positive price action
  • Community excitement

Bearish Signs:

  • Lower highs
  • Decreasing volume
  • Holders leaving
  • Negative price action

Volume Analysis​

Healthy Volume:

  • Consistent throughout day
  • Mix of buys and sells
  • Growing over time
  • Real trades (not wash trading)

Red Flags:

  • Huge volume then nothing
  • Only buys (no sells = honeypot?)
