1. Size small, always
Risk only a small fixed share of your trading budget per coin. New memecoins can go to zero in minutes.
2. Know your break-even
Fees are paid twice. On a $100 trade the round-trip platform fee alone is:
| App | Platform fees on a $100 buy + sell |
|---|---|
| fomo | $1.90 |
| Axiom | $1.90 |
| GMGN | $2.00 |
| Photon | $2.00 |
| Trojan | $2.00 |
| pump.fun | $3.40 |
Platform fee only, from our verified fee data. Network, priority and pool fees and price impact come on top.
Small trades with minimum fees need bigger moves to break even. True cost calculator3. Check before entry
Contract from the official source; mint/freeze authority; top-holder share; liquidity and pool age. Run the rug checker.
4. Plan exits first
Take profit in steps, set a stop or a time limit, and don't average down into a falling coin. How to sell memecoins
5. Avoid the traps
Late entries after an influencer call, high slippage, leverage on memecoins, and copying wallets blindly.
6. Keep records
Log every trade with fees; it is the only way to know whether you are actually profitable, and you may need it for tax.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best memecoin trading strategy?
Small fixed position sizes, checks before entry and exits planned in advance. No strategy guarantees profit.
How much should I put in a memecoin?
Only what you can lose entirely, and only a small share of your trading budget per coin.
Is copy trading a good memecoin strategy?
It copies losses too and you enter later than the wallet you copy. Review wallets and cap sizes.
Signed up but waiting on first deposit?
Nothing is paid until your first purchase through the Deposit button in the pump.fun app (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or another method the app shows). SOL or other crypto sent from an exchange or wallet does not count. The 10-day window starts when that deposit is confirmed: trade on 5 different days (UTC) inside it, and keep the purchased funds in the wallet until the last payout.
