My journey to 6-figures and how you can engineer yours

So so sad Sorrows sorrows prayers

I’ve been talking about GT these past few months Because if you trading on-chain, the tool you use to read the market matters more than people think. It becomes more about whether: - the data you’re looking at is reliable for a period of time or for all time - how much of the market you can actually see without depending on signals - and whether the tool helps you avoid obvious mistakes. That’s where I think GT has a few serious advantages. First: data quality. GeckoTerminal benefits from CoinGecko’s data infrastructure Price, volume, liquidity and token data are normalized across a huge amount of on-chain activity. That matters when you’re looking at a token and trying to answer a simple question: “Is this coin one I can buy and make 3x?” Because a chart can look beautiful while the underlying market is thin, fragmented or heavily distorted. Second: breadth. You don’t want to constantly jump between different tools because the token you’re researching happens to be on another chain or another DEX. GeckoTerminal covers 200+ chains and 1,900+ DEXs in one interface. So whether I’m checking a new token, comparing pools, looking at liquidity or trying to understand where the actual trading activity is happening, I can do a lot of that research in one place. And because it connects with CoinGecko’s wider ecosystem, you can also cross-reference things like token information, market data, socials and CEX presence. That makes the research process much less fragmented. Third: security. This one is underrated. When you’re trading low-cap tokens, finding a token that is moving is only half the job. You also need to ask: Can I actually sell this? Is the contract suspicious? Are there obvious honeypot or rug-pull risks? I personally don’t really look at the security sections anymore because honeypots are a harder to find what with new launchpads taking care of that But having the information available at the point where you’re making the decision is valuable. And finally: the core product is free. Real-time data, charts and API access without forcing you into an expensive subscription just to get useful information. For traders who are constantly researching new narratives, pools and tokens, that makes a difference. The point isn’t that GeckoTerminal magically makes you a better trader. No tool can do that. The edge is having better information in front of you before you make the trade. [Picture was taken from Geckoterminal app]

Most people open a pool, look at the chart, then check who bought. I think that’s backwards. Before asking “who is buying?”, I want to know: Is the flow actually real? Here’s how I use Top Traders + Recent Trades on GeckoTerminal as a flow check (not a copy-trade signal) Open the pool and ignore the main page Go straight to Traders. I’m looking for a few things: • Are buys and sells mixed, or is everything coming in one-sided bursts? • Are trade sizes varied, or does the same size keep showing up? • Is the volume spread across wallets, or is a handful of wallets doing most of it? • Do the timestamps look natural, or does the activity look coordinated? Then check Top Traders. Not to find someone to copy. To understand who is actually driving the market. Look at: • How many wallets account for the early volume • Whether the same wallets are active across related pools • How large their positions are relative to the pool’s liquidity • Whether they’re established wallets or fresh addresses with no visible history Then put that next to the basic numbers: Liquidity. Volume. Tx count. Holder count. Pool age. Security flags. This is where things get interesting. A healthy early market can look surprisingly boring. The flow is mixed. The volume isn’t coming from 2–3 wallets. Liquidity makes sense relative to the size of the trades. And the activity doesn’t completely disappear when you move from 5m → 1h → 6h. A weak market can look amazing on the chart. Big candle. Huge % move. Lots of volume. Then you check the tape and realise three wallets did most of it, liquidity is thin, and the same trade size keeps appearing. That’s the kind of market I don’t want to discover after buying. My workflow is simple: 1. Search by contract, not ticker. 2. Find the main pool by liquidity + volume. 3. Compare liquidity, volume and tx count. 4. Read Recent Trades. 5. Check Top Traders. 6. Then look at the chart. At that point, I can decide whether the token belongs on my watchlist, in Multicharts, or nowhere. Top Traders doesn’t tell you who’s smart. It tells you how concentrated the activity is. And that distinction matters. Because discovering a market is very different from chasing a tape that was never going to let you out.
