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 or Trailing Stop), the bot checks if your profit meets your threshold. If it does:
Calculate the sell amount: Initial investment + X% of your profits
Execute partial sell: Sell only the calculated amount
Keep moon bag: Remaining tokens stay in your wallet
Disable auto-sells: All automated selling is disabled for that position
Continue tracking: P&L updates and price alerts continue normally
Example
With default settings (33% threshold, 90% profit take):
Invested: 1 SOL
Current Value: 2 SOL (100% profit)
Profit meets 33% threshold β
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%.

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.
