9. Deep-Dive Wallet Filtering: The Microscope Strategy 🔬

By now, you already know red/green flags for wallets. Now, let me share the exact strategy I use to pick the best ones.  

We all know ROI, win rate, and PNL reflect past performance, but they only tell part of the story. That’s why I never rely on these numbers alone - every trade needs to be analyzed under a microscope.  

10. ROI & Win Rate  
You should already have a rough idea of the minimum ROI & win rate you need to stay profitable. The goal is to find wallets that fit those numbers.  

11. Fast Trades
If a wallet has a high number of fast trades, I immediately check them on Photon.  

We need to figure out:  
✅ Were these forced exits? (The trader spotted red flags and bailed early)  
❌ Or was this just reckless balance-wiping?  

In this case, there are no sudden pump-and-dumps - the token continues to move naturally and could go either up or down.

Here’s what forced fast trades look like

So, about resets

A small cap or a pre-purchased large volume of supply is closed by one of the wallets, either by itself in copy traders or a large volume cuts off everyone. Next, it’s crucial to open a few losing, winning, and break-even trades to get a rough psychological profile of our "gambler." Check out how skillfully they unload the supply when everything’s going well (a one-time hit in the order book or gradual sales, and if it’s gradual, how quickly was the position exited, did they rush it?). How often was their exit to break-even justified? How long did they hold a losing position? 

Once you’ve gathered all these factors into a complete picture, we move on to: 
A) deciding whether to add the wallet to copy trading 
B) writing a detailed description of their behavior in the notes

How resets look like:

A little about some not-so-obvious things with numbers:

- There are these "rocket catchers" who might have a really low ROI and even lower win rate, but the coins they buy tend to give 2-3x returns 90% of the time. These are the ones we love and copy trade. Honestly, it’s not that hard; it just takes a bit more detailed research, and with experience, you'll easily start picking up on the smart ones – you'll learn to smell them out over time.

Notes + different strategies:

- Definitely create a channel/chat/notes – whatever works for you. Number the wallets in your notes and in your records like this: 74b145r45w0.5a, where "b" is for buy, "r" is for ROI, "w" is win rate, and "a" is average buy. Write up a detailed analysis for each one based on your parsing, and keep updating it as you trade together. This will help you create a strategy for each wallet, like:

Did a wallet do great with rockets but then start messing up after being added to copy trade? Write down every trade to help you decide faster whether to remove it.
Turn off the selling if needed. Set take profits if it’s a wallet from the previous point.
If a trade goes deep into the red, sell manually, especially if the wallet is holding coins that are already wrecked to zero.
Come up with strategies based on what you understand – the variety is endless.

You’ll find it’s easiest to keep track of all your strategies through your notes. In general, notes are an absolute must-have!

There’s still so much untapped information out there; everything comes with experience. Only those who keep going will master the path. Wishing you all big wins and solid profits!

8. Copy Trading & Anonymity

It’s no secret that blockchains are fully transparent. If you’ve built a goldmine of high-quality wallets, it’s time to start thinking about anonymity.  

🔹 Don’t stack massive PNL on a single wallet.  
🔹 Don’t copy trade a mix of hidden gem wallets & heavily copied ones.  
🔹 Any copy trader can track your trades and steal your best-performing wallets.  
🔹 Never transfer SOL directly between wallets (even through intermediaries). One wallet = one funding source.  
🔹 Deposit & withdraw only through an exchange - this makes it harder to trace your movements.
