Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.mofo.gg/entry-filters-and-risk-limits.md). # Entry filters & risk limits `/filters` (or `/settings` → 🧰 Filters) is the hub: 🧢 Market Cap Filter · 📏 Trade Size · 🪙 Pump.Fun Filters · 🛡 Safety · 🚨 Risk. The hub's top lines show what is in force right now. **All of these judge buys only.** None of them ever blocks a sell. Being unable to exit is worse than any entry they prevent. Positions you already hold still sell normally whatever you set here. ## Account-wide or per trader Set a filter account-wide in `/filters`, or for one trader from `/copytrades` → the trader → ✏️ Edit: | Button on the trader's edit screen | What it sets for that trader | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | 🪙 **Pump-only** | Account default / On / Off | | 🧢 **MC filter** | ✏️ Min MC · ✏️ Max MC · 🚫 Account default | | 📏 **Buy size** | ✏️ Min size · ✏️ Max size · 🚫 Account default | | 🎓 **Stage** | Account default / Pre-grad / Graduated | **A trader's own filter replaces the account one for that trader.** It replaces it entirely: a min from one level is never combined with a max from the other. Each screen says which one is in force: *set for this trader*, *from your account setting (/filters)*, or *no filter anywhere*. **🚫 Account default** hands the trader back to the account setting. The 🛡 Safety switches and the 🚨 Risk limits are account-wide only. ## Entry filters | Filter | Default | What it does | How you set it | | ----------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | 🧢 **Market cap** | Off | Copy only coins inside your USD market-cap range at the moment of the buy. Set a min, a max, or both. The min is inclusive and the max is exclusive: "below $1M" skips a coin at exactly $1M. | Type `100k`, `1.5m`, `2b` or `250000`. Each bound asks you to ✅ Confirm first. | | 📏 **Trade size** | Off | Copy a trader's buy only when **their own** spend is inside your range. Both ends are inclusive. Small buys are often tests, not conviction. Whale bets may be more than you want to follow. | Type a number, e.g. `0.5` or `2`. Each bound asks you to ✅ Confirm first. | | 🪙 **Pump-only** | Off | Copy only pump.fun coins. Safer to exit, but it skips your trader's other buys. | 🪙 Pump.Fun-Only: ON/OFF. Also on the `/copytrades` list as 🪙 Pump-only. | | 🎓 **Stage** | Any | Judges pump.fun coins only. Copy only coins still on the bonding curve (Pre-Grad), only graduated ones (Graduated), or any. Other coins are left to the Pump-only setting. | Any Stage · Pre-Grad · Graduated | A min above your max (or a max below your min) is refused when you type it, and the bot names the bound it conflicts with. **Trade size is in the chain's own coin.** The number you type is read as SOL on a Solana follow, BNB on BSC, ETH on Robinhood Chain and USDC on Arc. An account-wide min of `0.5` means 0.5 SOL for Solana traders and 0.5 BNB for BSC traders. If your traders span chains, set this per trader. **On BSC and Robinhood Chain**, Pump-only reads as **Launchpad-only** and Stage as **curve stage**. They judge that chain's launchpad instead of pump.fun: Flap / four.meme on BSC, pons on Robinhood. A Solana follow is unchanged. **Arc has no launchpad.** Launchpad-only on an Arc follow — including one that inherits your account-wide Pump-only switch — skips every Arc buy. Leave it off for Arc traders. **Unknown data fails open.** If we can't read a coin's market cap, the trader's spend (for example a USDC-funded buy on Solana) or its stage, the buy is copied anyway. These filters narrow coverage; they aren't safety checks. A filter that silently blocked everything on a broken data feed would be worse than one that occasionally lets something through. ## Safety Account-wide, under 🛡 Safety. | Switch | Default | Solana | BSC · Robinhood · Arc | | ---------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 🛡 **Block risky coins** | **On** | Skip coins where someone still holds a switch that can stop you selling: a freeze authority, a transfer hook, a permanent delegate, or a live fee authority. | Skip coins whose test sale fails (a honeypot), coins whose contract lets the owner change taxes, blacklist or pause, and coins with a sell tax above 25%. | | 🖨 **Block mintable supply** | Off | Skip coins whose deployer can still print more tokens. Dilution tanks the price but never stops you selling, so this is stricter than the default. | Skip coins whose contract lets the owner change taxes, blacklist or pause. | | 🔒 **Strict non-pump** | Off | If a coin isn't from pump.fun and its safety couldn't be checked, skip it instead of buying it unchecked. | If a coin's test sale couldn't be run, skip it instead of buying it unchecked. A buy the trader made on the chain's launchpad curve is exempt. | Strict non-pump is the one deliberate exception to fail-open, which is why it's opt-in. It can cost you entries during network blips, and that's the trade-off you're choosing. **Always on, whatever you set:** * **Solana:** a coin that structurally can't be sold is refused. That covers non-transferable coins, coins whose accounts are created frozen, and coins with a transfer fee of 10% or more. * **BSC · Robinhood · Arc:** before every buy, MoFo rehearses selling the coin back. If the market answers "there is no way out" (a drained pool, a token that refuses to move), the buy is skipped. If the check can't get an answer, the buy goes ahead. * **All chains:** a coin that keeps failing on chain is set aside for a while instead of being retried for every follower. ## Risk breakers All off unless you set them, under 🚨 Risk. They stop **new buys** when hit and never touch a sell: take-profits, stop-losses and manual sells always run. | Breaker | Set as | Scope | Chains | What happens when it trips | | ----------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ✏️ **Daily loss** | USD, e.g. `250` or `1k` | your whole account | all | Your realized loss over the last 24 hours reached your limit, so **all buying pauses**. You get a message. Tap **▶️ Resume buying** on the 🚨 Risk screen when you're ready. | | ✏️ **Streak** | 2 – 20 losses in a row | one trader | all | That trader's positions closed at a loss this many times in a row, so **their buys pause**. Their exits and your positions are unaffected. You get a message. Tap **▶️ Resume this trader** on it, which also resets the count. | | ✏️ **Exposure** | USD, e.g. `2k` | your whole account | Solana | A buy that would push your total open cost basis past this amount is skipped. There's nothing to resume: the next buy that fits goes through. | 🚫 Daily off · 🚫 Streak off · 🚫 Exposure off remove a limit. A tripped breaker resumes only when you say so. After a resume, the daily breaker re-arms on your next losing sale. The streak counter keeps counting even while the breaker is off, so turning it on starts from your real history. **Set the daily loss limit on day one.** A bad trader you haven't noticed yet then costs you a bounded amount instead of an unbounded one. **Unsellable-leader pause (BSC · Robinhood · Arc).** If at least half of a trader's recent buys (at least 5 in 24 hours) had no way out, MoFo pauses copying that trader's buys. Their sells still mirror, so positions you hold from them can still exit. ## Other limits that can skip a buy These aren't in `/filters`, but they decide whether a buy is copied: | Limit | Default | Where | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | ⏳ **Buy-once cooldown** | On, 10 minutes | [Trade settings](/trade-settings.md) | | ✏️ **Max chase** | 25% | [Trade settings](/trade-settings.md) | | **Min trade**: the trader's buy must be worth at least this | $1 | shown on the trader's screen in `/copytrades` | | **Max open**: open positions per wallet | 100 | shown on the trader's screen | | **Max at risk**: open cost for this one trader | $10,000 | shown on the trader's screen | | **Stale trade** (BSC · Robinhood · Arc): a trader's buy older than this isn't copied | 30 seconds | automatic | Why a specific copy was skipped: [Why didn't my copy fill?](/why-didnt-my-copy-fill.md) ## Muting warnings `/mutewarnings` turns copy warnings off, and sending it again turns them back on. Receipts for trades that moved your money are never muted, and every copy decision still appears in `/history`. See [Notifications & history](/notifications-and-history.md).
