COMMENT "HALF"Posted Oct 23, 2026
Position sizing is the edge ($54 to $6,382)
One rule did the work: half the stack on the top-conviction setups, a small slice on the rest, a hard stop on all of them. Leverage makes noise, size makes the money, the 13x trade paid more than the 30x because of the size on it.
01Quick steps
- 1Scanner: Dexscreener new-pairs feed, filter for liquidity and volume, stream fresh pairs in.
- 2Conviction scorer: pass each pair to Grok (x.ai/api) for a 0 to 100 score from the metrics.
- 3Sizing rule: place each trade on Photon (https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@ttplus10builds). Top-tier score = half the account; otherwise a small fixed slice. Save both amounts as Photon buy presets so each size is one tap.
- 4Fixed take-profit and a hard stop on every position, no exceptions.
03Full tutorial
Get a free Phantom wallet (phantom.app) and write your secret phrase on paper. Never share it or type it into any site.
Buy a little SOL on Coinbase and send it to Phantom. Only money you can afford to lose.
Open the Dexscreener new-pairs feed and filter for real liquidity and climbing volume so you only see live coins, not dead mints.
Pass each pair's metrics to Grok (x.ai/api) and have it return a conviction score from 0 to 100. You are only grading how strong the setup is, not asking it to size or exit.
A top-tier score gets HALF the account, anything else gets a small fixed slice like 2 to 5%.
Save both amounts as quick-buy presets on Photon (https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@ttplus10builds) so the right size is always one tap and emotion never oversizes a weak setup.
When a coin scores top-tier, place the half-account buy on Photon; on any lower score, place the small slice instead.
Set a fixed take-profit and a hard stop in the Photon ticket before you confirm, every single time, because big size only works if the downside per trade is capped.
Never bump a weak setup up to the big size on a feeling, and never move the stop once it is set.
Cut losers at the stop with no averaging down, and let the size do the work on the rare high-conviction winners.
Log every trade with its conviction score and the size you used, so you can see that the sizing, not luck, is what grew the account. Only risk what you can afford to lose.
The account went $54 to $6,382 not from better entries but from SIZE: committing big on the rare high-conviction setups and small on everything else. The 13x trade paid more than a 30x because the stack on it was bigger. Sizing is the lever most people ignore.
Dexscreener new-pairs feed, filtered for real liquidity and climbing volume, streaming fresh candidates in. This is the top of the funnel.
Pass each candidate's metrics to Grok (x.ai/api) and have it return a 0 to 100 conviction score. You are not asking it to size or exit, only to grade how strong the setup is.
If the score is top-tier, stake HALF the account; otherwise a small fixed slice (e.g. 2 to 5%). Save both as quick-buy presets on Photon (https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@ttplus10builds) so the right size is one tap and emotion never oversizes a weak one. This concentrates capital on the few best setups while keeping the rest cheap.
A fixed take-profit and a hard stop on every single position, no exceptions. Big size only works if the downside per trade is capped. Not financial advice.
Only risk what you can afford to lose, most people lose money. Not financial advice.
