If you don’t trade in this market how you expect to be better when vol comes here is where you build the skill so the next wave you can capitalize on it even if it’s paper trading it still counts the more you put in the more you get out simple
knew this was gon happen... I feel like I’ve just been lucky, and I really want to learn. So I’m starting over with 10 SOL in my papertrading port again .
I’m going to keep learning. I’m not giving up, I just want to prove to myself that it’s not only luck
Ngl for the first time in 740 days of me trading everyday nonstop countless hours put in the trenches, it’s more hard then ever right now,
You can feel how the market has shifted, the way the coins work all the vamps, all these dogshit pairing coins
I hate the fact that we are forced to buy these paired coins to some dog shit slop that no one cares about.
Back in the days when I started we ran coins to millions without creator on-boarded, no pairs, no charity. Just pure memes and having fun with your boys.
I truly believe we will have 0 on-boarding atm for the rest of the year with how everything is moving.
The worst thing about the market right now is the fact if this KOL doesnt buy your coin that you’re in IS NOT VALID, when you know deep down it is.
We have promoted copy trading, following callouts heavily. Everything right now is absolute drill. I’m not making this tweet because I’m losing money, but I want true change in the game I love.
We need to return back to funny meme culture, cult coins.
When we had this in the market ceilings were much higher.
And we complain about the state of the market, when we as traders don’t even respect each other. We’re supposed to be here to make money together, or at least that’s how it used to be.
This is what the trenches have turned into: insta-dumps when a good coin bonds, instead of letting it run, making everyone else lose money.
If this keeps going like this, I don’t see a future in it...

A few observations on this market and what I think people need to understand if they genuinely want to become better traders.
First, I keep seeing this divide between people who believe in building long-term community coins and those who trade the daily attention-driven runners. I genuinely don't understand why we pretend one approach has to invalidate the other.
I trade both. That's simply how this market operates.
Every single day, there's a new coin capturing attention, attracting liquidity and giving traders a window of opportunity to make money. Some of these plays last a few hours, others a few days, and occasionally one develops into something much bigger.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with participating in that.
I think a lot of the frustration towards these daily runners comes from people sitting in community coins that aren't getting the attention or bids they believe they deserve. I understand that frustration, but getting upset at other people for trading what's moving isn't going to bring liquidity into your bags.
Attention is what drives this market. Conviction is what can sustain it. Both have their place.
Secondly, let's talk about callouts and KOLs.
I've always encouraged people to do their own research before blindly buying something because someone with a following posted it. Following good traders can absolutely help you discover opportunities earlier, but you need to understand that not everyone in this space has the same intentions.
Some genuinely want to find good opportunities and share them with their communities. Others might be more interested in using their audience as exit liquidity. Learning to distinguish between the two is part of becoming a better trader.
I get accused of farming rewards almost daily. At this point, I've accepted that people will believe whatever they want. I know how I trade, what my intentions are and how much effort I put into finding opportunities. I don't feel the need to prove that to strangers every day.
What Pumpfun has built is an ecosystem that accommodates all kinds of traders. Short-term momentum traders, long-term conviction holders, community builders, callers and everyone in between.
That's a good thing. We shouldn't be trying to turn everyone into the same type of trader.
The goal isn't to convince everyone to trade like you. It's to understand how the market works well enough to find your own edge.
Learn when to follow attention, when to exercise patience, when to take profits and, most importantly, when you're wrong.
You don't have to marry every coin, and you don't have to sell every coin after 20 minutes.
There's room for both approaches. The sooner people understand that, the better traders they'll become.
Day 9 of paper trading in the trenches: +14.23 SOL 📈
Big day. I got into a few runners, but on one of those coins i did something I’m not very proud of: I put in almost half of my port. I came out winning, but I know that, especially in this market, a move like that can go terribly wrong and leave me rinsed. So I’m not getting hyped.
Tomorrow is a new day. Now with a bigger port, I can increase my sizing on each trade, with the same risk management, risking a max of 3%.
I will keep learning and making the most of the conditions in this market. Right now is the best time to learn: fill yourself up with knowledge so that when the bull run comes back, everything is easier.
The good and the bad, both pass. Life's all about cycles, i trully believe that the good time of memecoins will come back some day, and we need to be ready for that...

Day 8 of paper trading in the trenches: -1.61 SOL 📉
There’s always bad days. Decided to end my session here. I was down BAD, but managed to recover a lil. I’m tired asf.
Ready for tomorrow.
Day 7 of paper trading in the trenches: +2.04 SOL 📈
First week of paper trading done, and so far we’re up 12 SOL since I started. I feel more confident in the trenches now, spotting coins with real value. I also feel more in control, always waiting for dips and not entering out of FOMO. I’m still missing runners, but I know that’s normal and part of the process: you can’t always be right.
Today I spent 6 hours in the trenches. I started the day down, my mental wasn’t great, and it wasn’t until I decided to lock in that I caught several 2xs. That’s what kept me in profit today.
Let’s see what next week has for me. It’s a new month! I’ll keep watching memecoin content and posting here whatever new I find to share.
Day 6 of paper trading in the trenches: +.55 SOL 📉
PnL from yesterday, missed runners also, need to stop hesitating that much, also i got out early in much coins.
Today is a new day tho...
Day 5 of paper trading in the trenches: -0.253 SOL 📉
I’m ending my trenching session here, my mental rn isn’t great. I was up around 2 SOL on the day, but I missed a lot of runners by hesitating, and in the end I started aping into a bunch of coins that just kept dumping. So I’m cutting it here and locking in the PnL. I’ve been on the computer for a long time, so I’m going to try to clear my head now.
I’m not giving up, because I know days like this will always happen, and we have to learn from these mistakes. Tomorrow is Halloween 🎃 I’m ready for those 100x’s.
