# Set Up Smart Signal Filters

### **Minimum Criteria – Filtering for Trust**

These act as **risk tolerance filters**. The higher your minimums, the stronger the fundamentals of the token you're targeting (but also potentially fewer signals).

#### ✅ **Minimum Market Cap**

* **Formula**: Token Price × Circulating Supply
* **Why it matters**: Market cap is a key indicator of size and perceived value. Larger cap memecoins are typically more stable, while smaller caps are more volatile but offer higher upside.

| Category            | Range (USD)  | Risk                    |
| ------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Low Cap memes**   | $100K – $25M | High risk / High reward |
| **Mid Cap memes**   | $25M – $100M | Moderate risk           |
| **Large Cap memes** | $100M+       | Lower risk, more stable |

***

#### 💧 **Minimum Liquidity**

* **Why it matters**: Liquidity reflects how much capital is in the pool. Low liquidity = higher slippage & higher rug risk. High liquidity = harder to manipulate price.

| Range        | Risk                             |
| ------------ | -------------------------------- |
| $50K – $250K | Risky, possible rugs             |
| $250K – $1M  | Decent entry zone                |
| $1M+         | Safer, more established projects |

***

#### 👥 **Minimum Holders**

* **Why it matters**: More holders mean wider distribution and less risk of whales dumping. It’s a proxy for decentralization and early community traction.

| Range   | Interpretation                            |
| ------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| 100–500 | Very early stage                          |
| 1K–3K   | Gaining traction                          |
| 10K+    | Broad-based participation, more stability |

***

#### 📈 **Minimum Volume**

* **Why it matters**: High daily volume = active trading = more price movement. Low volume = illiquid assets, risk of being stuck in a position.

***

### **Change Over Time – Spotting Breakouts**

These settings allow you to trigger signals **based on growth**, not just static thresholds — ideal for catching **momentum plays**.

#### 📊 **Market Cap Change**

* **What it shows**: % increase in value over time — a direct reflection of price movement.
* **Pro tip**:
  * Use **1h or less** for small caps (quick pumps/dumps)
  * Use **24h** for larger caps (sustained growth)

***

#### 💧 **Liquidity Change**

* **What it shows**: % increase in liquidity over a time frame.
* **Why it matters**: A spike in liquidity means new capital entering, often from LPs who believe in the project.

Use Case

***

+50–100% in 5–30 mins = likely whale or team adding liquidity

***

Set alerts to catch stealth launches or pre-pump setups

***

#### 👥 **Holders Change**

* **What it shows**: Increase in number of unique holders.
* **Why it matters**: Signals growing interest, community traction, and potential virality.

| Timeframe            | Use                                        |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| 1 Day                | Best for measuring organic growth          |
| 100+ new holders/day | Sign of viral momentum or strong marketing |

***

#### 📉 **Volume Change**

* **What it shows**: % increase in trading volume.
* **Why it matters**: One of the **strongest predictors** of incoming volatility — high volume often precedes price action.

Strategy Tip: Use with short timeframes (5–30 min) to catch breakouts early

***

### **Putting It All Together**

When setting up your **Signal Filters**, consider combining:

* **Minimum Liquidity** + **Liquidity Change** = Filters for "serious" tokens gaining traction
* **Minimum Holders** + **Holders Change** = Early signs of virality
* **Market Cap Change** + **Volume Change** = Momentum filters to catch spikes

***

### **Final Tips**

* **Start broad**, then narrow down as you test and learn.
* Use **shorter timeframes (5m–1h)** for small caps and **longer timeframes (1d)** for bigger caps.
* Combine **static thresholds** (minimums) with **velocity indicators** (change over time) for higher-quality signals.
