When to buy a memecoin: golden cross, parabolic SAR, Fibonacci and stochastic
YouTube asking you to sign in, or not loading?
The Buy side of a rule answers two questions. This lesson takes the first: how much each trade spends, and the moment it buys. A rule can buy at the sighting, wait a fixed number of seconds, or wait for the chart to turn.
Four chart triggers are covered setting by setting: the golden cross of a fast and a slow moving average, the parabolic SAR flip, the Fibonacci pullback bounce and the stochastic oscillator. Each reads closed candles only, so the buy lands on the candle after the signal. You will also see candle width, how triggers combine, trading hours, and the AI guide answering a question asked in Spanish.
An honest note: None of these triggers has been shown to make money once trades are filled honestly. In some tests, waiting for the turn lost less than buying at the sighting, and that is all. Test before you trust.

Lesson three. The Buy side, part one: how much, and when it buys. Open Edit rule. The editor has two halves, Buy and Sell, and the number on each tab counts how many settings are switched on in it.
0:16How much: trade size and costs
Section one is how much. Buy is the SOL each trade spends: point two, since the last lesson. The percentages don't change with it; only the SOL figures do. Costs is the share lost on every round trip, to fees and slippage. We set it to three percent, closer to what real trades pay.
0:37Wait before buying, and why
Section two is when it buys. Wait before buying watches a token for a few seconds after it's detected, then buys. Zero buys the very moment it's seen. This rule waits four seconds. Why wait? At detection, a token has no past. A few seconds later, you can see whether holders arrived, and whether the price held. Filters that are checked at that moment come in lesson four.
1:04Four chart triggers
Instead of a fixed wait, it can wait for the chart to turn. There are four triggers. Each one reads closed candles only, so the buy lands on the candle after the signal.
1:15Golden cross: fast and slow moving averages
First, the golden cross. Tick it, and its settings open underneath. It buys when a fast moving average crosses up through a slow one. Simple treats every candle the same. Exponential weighs the recent ones more, so it reacts sooner. Fast and slow are the two windows, in seconds. Give up after is how long it waits for the cross, before it drops the token. And only if it started under skips a token that had already crossed before we were watching. Untick it, and on to the next one.
1:47Parabolic SAR flip: step, max, seed
The parabolic SAR flip. Tick it. The SAR is a dotted line that sits above a falling price, and moves closer every candle. It buys when the price breaks up through it: the moment the selling stops. Step is how fast the line closes in: bigger reacts sooner. Max is where it stops speeding up. Seed is the warm-up it reads first, and give up after drops a token that never flips. Only if it started falling does the same job as before. Untick it.
2:18Fibonacci bounce: dips to, closes over, dead under
The Fibonacci bounce. Tick it. It measures the token's run, from its launch or from detection, up to its high, and waits for a pullback into a level of that run. Dips to is how deep the pullback must reach. Closes over is where a candle must close back up, and that is the buy. Dead under means the run is over, and the token is dropped. Untick it.
2:42Stochastic: level, %K and %D
Last, the stochastic. Tick it. It shows where each candle closed inside its recent range: zero at the bottom, a hundred at the top. Under the level, the token keeps closing at its lows. It buys when that stops: K closing back above the level, or K crossing up through D while both are still low. And the signal candle must close higher than the one before.
3:07Candle width, and combining triggers
With a trigger on, candle width appears: how wide the candles are that the triggers read. Wider candles mean later, and fewer signals. Five seconds matches the recording. Below five seconds is finer than the recording, so the Sim can't be trusted there, and it tells you so, in red. You can tick more than one trigger. Then every one must fire, and it buys on the last of them. A token that does not turn in time is skipped.
3:35Ask the AI guide, in any language
Not sure what a setting means? Every box has a question mark. Click it, and the AI guide opens, about that box. Pick a question, like: what is this? The answer is about this setting, and your own numbers in it. You can ask in your own language, too. Here's a question in Spanish. The answer comes back in Spanish. It works the same in Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Russian, or whatever language you write in. Close it, and untick the stochastic.
4:11An honest word about triggers
A word of honesty. None of these triggers has been shown to make money, once trades are filled honestly. In some tests, waiting for the turn lost less than buying at the sighting, and that is all. Test before you trust.
4:25Trade only in chosen hours
Finally, only trade in these hours. Tick it, and every hour of the day shows what this rule made in it, over the window you are reading. Click an hour to switch it off, and the rule will not buy in it. Your clock or UTC sets which time the hours are in. Keep the hours that made money is tempting, but it fits the past, and it may not repeat. We'll leave the clock off. We switched everything back off. Press Save, and the rule stays just as it was. Next: which tokens it buys, the filters.
Frequently asked questions
- Why wait before buying a new memecoin?
- At detection a token has no past. A few seconds later you can see whether holders arrived and whether the price held, and the buy filters are checked at that moment.
- What is the difference between a simple and an exponential moving average?
- Simple treats every candle the same. Exponential weighs the recent candles more, so it reacts sooner.
- What happens if I switch on more than one trigger?
- Every trigger that is on must fire, and the rule buys on the last of them. A token that does not turn in time is skipped.
- Should I only trade in the hours that made money?
- It is tempting, but it fits the past and may not repeat. The lesson leaves the trading clock off.
