Memecoin exit strategy: trailing stop, stop loss, take profit and more

Every exit that is switched on watches the trade, and the first one to fire sells it. This lesson goes through each of them: the trailing stop (of the price or of the profit), the stop loss, take profit, taking some off with break-even, the stall exit and the time limit.
It also covers a detail most exit guides skip. A sale fills where the price is when the order lands, and in a fast dump that can be well under the line that triggered it. Then a 45-second stall exit is tested on the replay, and the AI guide explains the exits in your own language.
An honest note: In testing, a 10% trail beat wider trails and profit ladders once fills were counted honestly. That is a test result, not a promise.

0:00How the exits work together
Lesson five. The Sell side: every way a rule gets out of a trade. Open Edit rule, and switch to the Sell tab. Every exit that is ticked watches the trade, and the first one to fire sells it.
0:16Trailing stop: of the price
The trailing stop follows the price up. The rule remembers the highest price since the buy, the peak, and sells when the price falls a set distance below it. Of the price means: sell when the price is this far under the peak. This rule uses ten percent. The line underneath works an example out for you: a token that peaked at plus one hundred percent is sold at plus eighty.
0:40Of the profit, only in profit, and when the trail arms
Of the profit gives back a share of the gain instead. While the gain is small, that leash is very tight, so never under sets how close to the peak it may ever sit. We will stay with the price. Switching resets the number to a default, so set it back to ten. Only in profit means the trail sells only once its floor is above what you paid. Until then, only the stop loss can sell. And the trail only switches on once the peak is two percent above the buy price, so ordinary noise right after the buy does not sell the trade.
1:14Stop loss, and how every exit fills
The stop loss cuts the trade when the price drops this far below what you paid. Twenty-five percent sells at three quarters of the buy price. One thing to know about every exit. A sale fills where the price is when the order lands, and in a fast dump that can be well under the line that triggered it.
1:32Take profit, and taking some off
Take profit sells everything once the price is up a set amount. It also caps the winners: a token that would have gone ten times is sold at the target. Take some off sells part of the position early. Say, half at plus one hundred percent, while the rest keeps running under the other exits. Then break-even moves the stop up to your buy price, so the rest can no longer lose money on paper.
1:56Stall exit
The stall exit sells once the token goes a set time without making a new high. A trail waits for the price to come back down to its floor; the stall exit leaves as soon as the climb stops.
2:09Time limit
And the time limit sells whatever is still open. This rule holds for up to an hour, but each token is recorded for thirty minutes, so the Sim cannot see further than that.
2:20Test a stall exit on the replay
Let's test one. Tick the stall exit, and set it to forty-five seconds. The whole history replays. Now the numbers up top are this rule with a stall exit. Judge an exit by the replay, not by a hunch.
2:34Ask the AI guide about your exits
Unsure which exits suit you? Click the question mark on the section heading, and ask the AI guide to explain your settings here. It reads your own exits, in your own language, and tells you what the tests found: once fills were counted honestly, a ten percent trail beat wider trails and profit ladders. A test, not a promise.
2:58Save
Close it. We'll keep the stall exit, and press Save. That's the Sell side. Next, Compare: your rule next to every other rule on the board.
Frequently asked questions
- How does a trailing stop work?
- The rule remembers the highest price since the buy and sells when the price falls a set distance below it. With a 10% trail of the price, a token that peaked at +100% is sold at +80%.
- When does the trailing stop switch on?
- Only once the peak is 2% above the buy price, so ordinary noise right after the buy does not sell the trade.
- What is a stall exit?
- It sells once the token goes a set time without making a new high. A trail waits for the price to fall back to its floor; the stall exit leaves as soon as the climb stops.
- Does a stop loss sell exactly at its level?
- No. A sale fills at the price when the order lands, and in a fast dump that can be well below the line that triggered it.
