Build Your First Automated Trading Strategy in 10 Minutes

Step-by-step tutorial on creating a profitable automated strategy using Wallet Bot's visual Strategy Builder. No coding required.

🤖 Why Automate Your Trading?

Problems with Manual Trading:

  • ❌ Can't watch markets 24/7
  • ❌ Emotions cloud judgment
  • ❌ Miss opportunities while sleeping
  • ❌ Inconsistent execution

Benefits of Automation:

  • ✅ Trades execute 24/7
  • ✅ Removes emotional decisions
  • ✅ Catches overnight opportunities
  • ✅ Consistent, systematic approach

📋 Prerequisites

Before we build our first strategy, make sure you have completed the getting started guide and:

  • A Solana wallet connected to Wallet Bot (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
  • Some SOL for gas fees and trading (minimum 0.5 SOL recommended)
  • Telegram app installed for alerts (optional but recommended)

🎯 The Strategy We'll Build

We're going to create a "Whale + Safety Filter" strategy that combines whale tracking with smart filters. This strategy will:

📡Signal: When a tracked whale buys a token
🔍Filter 1: Market cap under $500K
🔍Filter 2: Liquidity over $10K
🔍Filter 3: Top holder owns less than 20%
Action: Auto-buy 0.1 SOL worth
📱Alert: Send notification to Telegram

🛠️ Step-by-Step Build

1

Open the Strategy Builder

After connecting your wallet, click the ✨ Strategy button in the top navigation bar. This opens the visual Strategy Builder panel.

Navigation: Dashboard → Strategy → Create New

2

Add Your Signal Source

In the Signal Sources column, click + Add Signal. Select "Whale Watcher" from the dropdown.

💡 Tip: Make sure you've added some whale wallets to track first! Go to the Whale Tracker panel and add at least 2-3 profitable wallets.

3

Configure Your Filters

In the Conditions & Filters column, add three filters:

Market Cap≤ $500,000
Liquidity≥ $10,000
Top Holder %≤ 20%
4

Set Your Actions

In the Actions column, add these two actions:

🛒 Auto Buy

  • • Amount: 0.1 SOL
  • • Slippage: 10% (for volatile tokens)
  • • Priority Fee: Medium

📱 Telegram Alert

  • • Connect your Telegram (one-time setup)
  • • Message: Include token, whale, and trade details
5

Add Exit Strategy (Crucial!)

Every good entry needs an exit plan. Add these automated exit conditions:

🛑 Stop Loss

  • • Trigger: Price drops 30% from entry
  • • Action: Sell 100% of position

💰 Take Profit

  • • Trigger 1: +100% → Sell 50%
  • • Trigger 2: +300% → Sell 25%
  • • Trigger 3: +500% → Sell remaining
6

Name & Activate Your Strategy

Give your strategy a memorable name like "Whale Hunter v1"and click Activate.

✅ Done! Your strategy is now running 24/7. You'll get a Telegram alert every time it executes a trade.

📊 Monitoring Your Strategy

After activation, monitor your strategy's performance:

  • Check the Strategy Panel: See active strategies, recent trades, and P&L
  • Review Trade History: Analyze which filters worked best
  • Adjust as Needed: Tighten or loosen filters based on results

🚀 Advanced Strategy Ideas

Once you're comfortable, try these more advanced configurations:

Pattern + Volume Strategy

Trigger on W-pattern detection with above-average volume confirmation

Multi-Whale Confirmation

Only buy when 2+ tracked whales buy the same token within 1 hour

Moonshot + Safety

High moonshot score + strict rug-pull filters for early entries

Auto-buy established tokens when they drop 20%+ in 24 hours
