How to Find 100x Gems Before They Pump
A complete guide to using the Moonshot Scanner to identify early opportunities before the crowd finds them.
The Early Bird Gets the 100x
By the time a token trends on Twitter or shows up in your friend group, the easy gains are usually gone. The real money is made by those who find tokens before they go viral. That's exactly what the Moonshot Scanner helps you do.
🎯 What Makes a Moonshot?
Not every new token has 100x potential. Real moonshots share certain characteristics that separate them from the thousands of tokens launched daily. Here's what to look for:
✅ Green Flags
- • Growing holder count (100+ in first hour)
- • Strong initial liquidity ($10K+)
- • Active dev wallet trading
- • Organic social buzz building
- • Smart money accumulation
🚩 Red Flags
- • Top holder owns 50%+ supply
- • Locked liquidity less than 30 days
- • Copy-paste contract code
- • Bot-driven trading volume
- • Honeypot characteristics
🔍 Using the Moonshot Scanner
Wallet Bot's Moonshot Scanner automates the tedious work of finding early gems. Here's how to set it up for maximum effectiveness:
Step 1: Access the Scanner
After connecting your wallet, click the 🌙 icon in the sidebar or add the "Moonshot Scanner" column to your dashboard using the Strategy Builder. For detailed configuration, see the moonshot scanner documentation.
Step 2: Configure Your Filters
The default settings work well, but experienced traders customize these filters:
Step 3: Enable Smart Alerts
Set up Telegram notifications for tokens that match your criteria. The scanner runs 24/7, so you won't miss opportunities even while sleeping.
💎 The Moonshot Trading Strategy
Finding potential gems is only half the battle. Here's a proven strategy for trading them:
1Small Initial Position
Start with 0.1-0.5 SOL. Most moonshots fail, so never bet big on a single token.
2Take Profit at 2-3x
Sell 50% of your position at 2-3x. This recovers your initial investment and gives you a free ride.
3Let Winners Run
Hold the remaining 50% with a trailing stop. The 100x gains come from letting winners ride.
4Cut Losers Quickly
If a token drops 50% from your entry without any positive catalysts, exit. Preserve capital for the next opportunity.
📊 Reading the Moonshot Score
Each token in the Moonshot Scanner receives a score from 0-100 based on multiple factors. Here's how to interpret it:
Strong fundamentals across all metrics. Consider larger position sizes.
Mixed signals. Standard position sizes with tighter stops.
High risk. Tiny positions only if you understand the specific opportunity.
Red flags detected. Potential scam or rug pull indicators present.
⚠️ Risk Management for Degen Trading
Let's be real: moonshot hunting is high-risk trading. Even with the best tools, most early-stage tokens fail. Here's how to stay in the game:
- ⚡Degen Budget: Only use money you can afford to lose completely. Allocate 5-10% of your portfolio to moonshot hunting.
- ⚡Diversify Bets: 10 small positions beat 1 big position. You only need 1 winner to cover 9 losers.
- ⚡Never FOMO: If a token has already pumped 10x, the easy gains are gone. Wait for the next opportunity.
- ⚡Use Auto Take-Profits: Set up Wallet Bot's Strategy Builder to automatically take profits. Emotions are your enemy.
