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:

  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 βœ“

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.
