A Coin Flip Tactic for Copy-Trading
Content provided by Odin's team
The Perfect Strategy for When You’re Away
If you’re looking for a straightforward yet disciplined approach to copy-trading with OdinBot, especially when you can’t monitor the market around the clock, the “coin flip” tactic might be exactly what you need. By pairing balanced Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) settings with selective mirroring, you create an automated system that can steadily grow your account while minimizing risk. Here’s how it works:
Strategy Overview
Coin Flip Mentality
Max Buys per Mirror per Day: Set to 1 in your OdinBot controls. This limit helps prevent multiple losses in quick succession from the same wallet.
Take Profit & Stop Loss: Both at 50% you either lock in a 50% gain or cut your losses at 50%. This is a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, which is inherently close to gambling, so the wallet’s win rate (and ROI) will be critical to your success.
Sell Strategy: Choose Do Not Copy Mirror Sells, giving you complete control over exits. This flexibility lets you manually close trades based on your judgment of market conditions or token momentum.
Why Consider This Tactic?
It’s easy to set up and maintains consistent risk parameters (1:1 R:R).
It’s ideal when you’re offline or asleep, because you have a simple, automated framework to handle volatile markets.
Ultimately, success hinges on picking good wallets (high ROI, consistent performance) and intervening when needed.
Monitoring and Manual Overrides
Active Supervision When you’re at your computer, keep an eye on each token’s chart. If a trade seems unlikely to reach the 50% profit target, consider exiting near break-even or accept a smaller (3–5%) gain.
Partial Runs If a token spikes by 15–20% but volume or momentum starts declining, you might close early to secure a decent profit before it reverses.
Autopilot While Asleep Rely on the coin flip settings (50% TP/SL) when you’re away. By capping losses at 50% and automatically cashing out at a 50% gain, you ensure that each trade follows a predictable outcome without constant supervision.
Setting Pump.fun Slippage and Tips
Pump.fun Slippage (30–33%) If the trade executes within your slippage range, great if not, you avoid an unfavorable entry.
Extra Tip on Buys (2–5%) If the wallet or token tends to trade highly volatile meme coins, consider adding a small tip (2–5%) on buy orders to increase your likelihood of getting filled quickly. This is optional and should be used sparingly to prevent excessive fees.
Searching for Wallets
Thorough Analysis of Odin’s Alpha
Odin’s Alpha channel often highlights interesting or successful wallets. Investigate each wallet’s recent trades and performance to see if it’s suitable for mirroring.
Use Dune Dashboard:
Analyze Tokens and Wallets:
Locate the Token’s Contract Address (CA):
Obtain the token’s CA from a decentralized exchange or blockchain explorer. The contract address is a unique identifier necessary for accessing token specific data.
Copy the CA for use in the dashboard.
Plug in the Contract Address:
Navigate to OdinBot Token Analyzer on Dune Dashboards.
Enter the token’s CA into the search bar. The dashboard will retrieve data about trading activity, wallet performance, and key metrics associated with the token.
Evaluate Key Metrics:
Trade Size Compatibility:
Focus on wallets that trade within or slightly above your typical size range. Mirroring wallets aligned with your account size ensures better utilization of your funds and avoids overexposure.
Return on Investment (ROI):
Look for wallets and tokens with an ROI above 100%. This signifies that the wallet has successfully doubled its initial investment, indicating strong trading strategies.
Win Rate:
Prioritize wallets with a win rate exceeding 60%. Consistently successful trades are a good indicator of reliable performance.
Trading Patterns:
Cross verify patterns of profitability or repetitive trading strategies. This helps determine whether performance is consistent or based on isolated successes.
Additional Analysis:
Use the dashboard to identify wallets actively trading the token and evaluate their trading histories. This can provide insights into wallet behavior, such as frequency and timing of trades.
Why This Analysis is Crucial:
By using Dune Dashboards and focusing on these metrics, you can:
Filter Low Performers: Avoid tokens and wallets with poor historical performance.
Spot Opportunities: Identify wallets and tokens that align with your trading strategy.
Reduce Risks: Minimize exposure to inconsistent or speculative trading behaviors.
Maximize Potential: Focus on tokens and wallets with strong performance metrics and sustainable patterns.
Taking the time to analyze tokens and wallets with these steps ensures your copy-trading decisions are both strategic and well informed. This not only improves your trading outcomes but also builds confidence in the wallets you choose to mirror.
Check via Solscan
Under DeFi-Activity, confirm the wallet actually sells tokens, rather than holding them indefinitely (so you know they’re capturing profits).
Evaluate how long they hold tokens, do they scalp quickly, or wait for a stable run up?
See if their gains (e.g., from 1 SOL to 1.7 SOL) align with what you hope to achieve.
Consistency Matters
3 wins out of their last 4 trades is an encouraging sign, but at the end of the day, what truly matters is consistent profitability.
Also consider if the wallet has many other copy-traders. Heavy competition can sometimes move the price quickly and affect your entries or exits.
Managing Mirrors
First Trade Outcome
Win: Continue mirroring.
Loss: Investigate if it was an anomaly. If the mirror suffers 3–4 losses in a row, remove it from your list.
Maintain Decent Metrics
If a wallet experiences 1–2 wins followed by 3 losses, that’s a caution flag.
Aim for mirrors with a win rate of 60% or more and consistently strong ROI. Even with a 50/50 TP/SL, the key is picking wallets that win frequently enough to stay profitable.
Manual Exit Options
Cutting Losses Early: If the token barely moves, closing at a small loss or near break even can preserve capital for better trades.
Taking Partial Profits: If you see a quick 15–20% jump but the token appears to be cooling off, lock in the gain instead of waiting for the full 50%.
Final Thoughts
The coin flip tactic offers a clear and controlled way to copy-trade with OdinBot especially handy when you’re away and can’t babysit each position:
Simplicity: 50% TP/SL is easy to remember and implement.
Selective Mirroring: Limit your exposure by following only wallets that demonstrate consistent, profitable behavior.
Balanced Oversight: Leverage the autopilot features for routine trades, but be ready to step in when momentum shifts.
By combining solid wallet analysis with a 1:1 risk to reward approach, you can gradually increase your account balance. Remember: the real game changer is choosing mirrors whose win rates and ROI justify that 50/50 coin flip. Keep refining your choices, adapt to market conditions, and let OdinBot handle the rest.
