Pump fun has emerged as a prominent platform for meme coin creation on Solana. Thousands of tokens appear every day. While 99 percent of them fail, a few may achieve significant growth. By identifying and following the right wallets early, traders can encounter worthwhile opportunities provided they manage the risks properly.
Pump fun is a user friendly platform on the Solana network. It allows anyone to create meme coins in just a few seconds. It offers:
Smart contract creation
Liquidity pool setup
Basic marketing tools and analytics
Although creating a token is simple on Pump fun, genuine success relies on marketing, community building, and consistent activity.
Early Discovery If you invest in a legitimate project at its earliest stage, you may benefit from substantial returns.
Accessibility Because the entry threshold is low, it is easier to spot new tokens early.
High Failure Rate Many new tokens do not survive. Some are abandoned or turn out to be scams or rug pulls.
Crowded Market Thousands of meme coins appear each day, making it difficult to find promising ones.
Volatility Price swings can be extreme, especially with initial market caps of around 5,000 USD.
Early entry can be very profitable, but there is a high risk of total loss. Always do thorough research and manage your risk carefully.
In spite of the volatility, some experienced traders profit from Pump.fun tokens. This guide explains how OdinBot helps you discover and copy-trade these successful wallets.
All speed tiers can execute copy-trades in less than one second. The primary difference is how they handle local network congestion and heavy trading activity. Under typical conditions, even the Standard tier performs well, however, more competitive or congested environments may require faster tiers to ensure rapid confirmation.
Standard
Ideal for low to moderate congestion
Trades usually complete in under one second
Cost-effective and stable for calmer market scenarios
Turbo
Maintains high speed even when the network is moderately congested
Balances cost and speed for everyday trading activity
Godly
Fastest tier, designed for intense competition or extreme congestion
Ensures minimal delay when split-second execution is critical
Useful if you are following wallets that move large volumes and cause sharp price swings
It can be extremely expensive
Why Win Rate Can Mislead A high win rate does not always indicate real success. Some traders accept small losses often to discourage copycats, then make large gains on winning trades.
Focus on Overall Profit Check trade amounts and the ratio of wins to losses. A 50 percent win rate can still be very profitable if the winning trades are large and the losses stay small.
A trader invests 100 USD in 10 tokens.
Five trades lose 50 USD each → total loss of 250 USD
Five trades profit 300 USD each → total of 1,500 USD
Despite a 50 percent win rate, the total profit is 1,250 USD.
Low Liquidity Challenges Most Pump.fun tokens begin with a 5,000 USD market cap. Even moderate buys or sells can shift the price by 10 to 20 percent.
Delayed Copy-Trades
Buying: You buy after the wallet you copy, resulting in a higher price.
Selling: You exit after the original wallet, potentially at a lower price.
Liquidity Threshold
Many tokens never break the 10,000 to 15,000 USD market cap mark.
You should focus on wallets that trade tokens above or near that level to reduce slippage and extreme price impact.

Pump.fun Slippage
Early stage tokens often need 10 to 50 percent slippage, if not more.
Tokens at 10,000 USD or higher market cap typically work with 5 to 10 percent slippage.
OdinBot calculates slippage based on your mirror wallet’s execution price. For example, if the wallet buys at 10 USD and your slippage is 50 percent, your purchase is capped at 15 USD. If the price goes beyond 15 USD, your trade fails.
Aggressive Tactics
Increase slippage to about 25 to 50 percent.
Add a buy tip, for instance 0.01 SOL when spending 1 SOL, to gain priority.
Larger buy sizes cause bigger price shifts, so they also require higher slippage.
High Activity Some Pump.fun wallets make numerous trades daily. This is not necessarily negative, but it often indicates higher risk.
Red Flags Watch out for wallets that frequently trade “Danger” tokens or ones known for rug pulls. Examples include:

Instant Price Surges When multiple people copy-trade the same wallet, the market can jump by 10 to 20 percent within seconds. Copy-traders usually buy higher and sell lower than the original wallet.
Spotting Over-Copied Wallets Check 1 second price candles right after a wallet’s buy or sell. If you see a 15 to 20 percent move almost immediately, it is likely heavily copy-traded.
Pump.fun tokens are risky because they begin with very low liquidity. Prices can surge or plunge quickly, and many tokens never climb past 10,000 to 15,000 USD in market cap. Nevertheless, you can earn profits by choosing the right wallets and managing risk effectively. Keep these points in mind:
Focus on tokens already near or above a 10,000 USD market cap.
Evaluate total gains rather than just the win rate.
Watch for heavy copy-trading that may lower your own returns.
Adjust slippage settings to reflect the token’s liquidity level.
Skip wallets that often trade high-risk “Danger” tokens.
Reminder Controlled, well researched trades usually outperform aggressive methods that chase extreme volatility.
