# Moon Bag Mode ## What is a Moon Bag? A "moon bag" is a common crypto trading strategy where you take profits on a winning trade while keeping a small portion of your position open in case the token continues to rise ("goes to the moon"). This lets you: * **Recover your initial investment** - Get your money back * **Lock in profits** - Secure most of your gains * **Maintain upside exposure** - Keep some tokens for potential further gains ## How Moon Bag Mode Works When Moon Bag Mode is enabled and a profit-taking trigger fires (Take Profit, Trailing Stop, or Trailing Take Profit), the bot checks if your profit meets your threshold. If it does: 1. **Calculate the sell amount**: Initial investment + X% of your profits 2. **Execute partial sell**: Sell only the calculated amount 3. **Keep moon bag**: Remaining tokens stay in your wallet 4. **Disable auto-sells**: All automated selling is disabled for that position 5. **Continue tracking**: P\&L updates and price alerts continue normally ### Example With default settings (33% threshold, 90% profit take): | Scenario | Result | | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | Invested: 1 SOL | | | Current Value: 2 SOL (100% profit) | Profit meets 33% threshold ✓ | | Sell Amount: 1 SOL + 0.9 SOL (90% of profit) | = 1.9 SOL | | Moon Bag: 0.1 SOL worth of tokens | Kept for potential upside | If your profit is **below** the threshold (e.g., 20% profit with 33% threshold), a normal 100% sell executes instead. ***NOTE: If you want to leave a moonbag on every position with profit, just set your threshold to 1%.*** ## Settings Access via: **Settings → 🌙 Moon Bag Mode** ### Moon Bag Mode Toggle * **Enabled**: Uses moon bag logic when Take Profit, Trailing Stop, or Trailing Take Profit triggers * **Disabled**: Normal 100% sells (default) ### Profit Threshold Minimum profit percentage required to use moon bag logic instead of a full sell. | Setting | Meaning | | ------- | ----------------------------------- | | 25% | Cautious - moon bag on smaller wins | | 33% | Default - balanced approach | | 50% | Moderate - requires solid profit | | 75% | Requires strong move | | 100% | Higher bar - only on doubles | | 150% | Very high bar - 2.5x or better | | Custom | Any value from 1-500% | ### Profit Take Percentage How much of your **profit** to take when moon bag executes. | Setting | You Take | You Keep | | ------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ | | 50% | Half profits | Half profits as moon bag | | 75% | Most profits | Quarter as moon bag | | 90% | Almost all profits | Small moon bag (default) | | 95% | Nearly all | Tiny moon bag | | 99% | Almost everything | Micro moon bag | | Custom | Any value from 1-99% | | ## Which Triggers Use Moon Bag? | Trigger | Uses Moon Bag? | Notes | | -------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------- | | Take Profit | ✅ Yes | If profit ≥ threshold | | Trailing Stop | ✅ Yes | If profit ≥ threshold | | Trailing Take Profit | ✅ Yes | If profit ≥ threshold | | Stop Loss | ❌ No | Always 100% sell (cutting losses) | | Price Protection | ❌ No | Always 100% sell (protecting capital) | | Manual Sell | ❌ No | You control the percentage | ## After Moon Bag Executes ### Basic Mode Once a moon bag sell completes in Basic Mode: * **🌙 Indicator**: Position shows 🌙 emoji in dashboard * **Auto-sells disabled**: No Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stop, or TTP * **Manual only**: You decide when to sell the remaining tokens * **P\&L tracking**: Continues normally * **Price alerts**: Still sent if enabled ### Plan Mode In Plan Mode, moon bag behavior is different: * Subsequent plan stages **continue executing** on remaining tokens * The position is not locked to manual-only * This allows multi-stage plans to use moon bag as an intermediate step ## Best Practices ### When to Use Moon Bag Mode ✅ **Good scenarios:** * Trading volatile meme coins with high upside potential * When you want to "let winners run" while securing profits * During bull markets when tokens can 10x+ ❌ **Consider disabling for:** * Stablecoin or low-volatility trades * When you need to fully exit positions quickly * If you prefer hands-off, fully automated trading ### Recommended Settings by Risk Tolerance | Risk Level | Threshold | Take % | Strategy | | ---------- | --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------- | | Cautious | 25% | 95% | Small moon bags, secure profits early | | Balanced | 33% | 90% | Default settings, reasonable exposure | | Moderate | 50% | 75% | Larger moon bags, more upside capture | ## FAQ **Q: What happens if I buy more of a moon bag token?** A: The position stays in "moon bag mode" with auto-sells disabled. You'll need to manually manage all sells. **Q: Can I re-enable auto-sells on a moon bag position?** A: Not currently. Once a position enters moon bag mode, it stays in manual-only mode until closed. **Q: Does moon bag mode work with Stop Loss?** A: No. Stop Loss always sells 100% because its purpose is to cut losses quickly, not preserve upside. **Q: What if my moon bag becomes worthless?** A: This is the risk of holding. You've already recovered your investment and most profits - the moon bag is "house money" you're willing to risk. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
