Formulating trading strategy

ATM provides entry signals based on on-chain indicators. Your job is to turn them into a repeatable system: when to enter, when to exit, and how much to risk.

1. Define Your Trading Objectives

Start by deciding:

• What type of moves are you targeting?

  (Quick scalps, 2x flips, 10x runners, long holds)

• How often do you want to trade?

  (Multiple times a day, once per session, few high-quality entries per week)

• What’s your acceptable risk per trade?

  (% of capital you’re okay losing — common: 1–3%)

Clarity here makes everything else easier.

2. Choose Entry Conditions

Use ATM signals to filter opportunities.

Your entry criteria should include at least 2–3 of the following:

Metric	Why It Matters
Wallets In > Wallets Out	Smart money flow is positive
Buy/Sell Ratio > 1.5	Buy pressure > sell pressure
Volume In Growing	Indicates momentum
Low Market Cap ($50K–300K)	More upside, more volatility
Fresh token (<30 min)	Still early in lifecycle

Example rule:

“Enter if token is <20m old, MC < $150K, net wallet inflow positive, buy volume is 10%+ more than sell volume.”

3. Define Exit Strategy

Pick one exit rule and stick to it for at least 10–15 trades.

Exit Type	Example Rule
Fixed ROI	Sell 100% at 2x or 3x
TRTP + SL	Trailing TP at +100%, SL at -50%
Time-Based	Exit if price flat after 60–90 mins
Staggered	Sell 50% at 2x, rest at 3–5x or with trailing stop
Momentum Exit	Exit if volume or wallet flow flips negative

Make sure it fits your risk tolerance and time availability.

Tip: ATM Algo Stats might help you to define better your expectations from the token

4. Position Sizing

• Decide % of capital per trade (e.g., 2%)

• Avoid oversized positions based on “conviction”

• Plan for 10+ trades in a row without blowing up

Example:

If your account = $5,000 and risk per trade = 2% → Max loss = $100 → Adjust size accordingly based on SL.

5. Track & Evaluate

Use this template or your own sheet to track each trade:

1. Token + Algo

2. Entry + Exit price

3. ROI

4. Did you follow your system? (Yes/No)

5. What went right/wrong?

Sample for your own sheet:

Timestamp	Token	Algo	Entry price	Target (2x?)	Stop Loss (-50%?(	Max Drawdown	Peak ROI	Time to ATH	Note
12:15 UTC	$TKN	OG	$0.0012	$0.0024	$0.0006	-28%	3.4x	4h 12m	Good entry, pumped 30 min later
13:50 UTC	$LOL	Pumpfun	$0.0009	$0.0018	$0.00045	-12%	1.4x	—	Flat after 1h

After 20–30 trades, ask:

1. What % are profitable?

2. Are losses controlled?

3. Am I improving execution?

If not — tweak only one variable at a time.

6. Strategy Examples (Starter Kits)

Style	Description	Expected Win Rate	Sample Exit
Scalping	In & out within 5–10 mins	High	+30–50% TP, -20% SL
2x Flips	Most ATM signals work here	Medium	TP at 2x, SL at -50%
Trend Runners	Ride to 5–10x+	Low	Partial exits + trailing
Narrative Plays	Based on memes/social hype	Variable	Exit on momentum loss

Final Checklist Before You Trade

• I know when I’ll enter

• I know how I’ll exit (TP + SL)

• I know how much I’m risking

• I’ve backtested or paper traded this setup

• I will log every trade I take

If you can’t check all five — don’t trade yet.
