Smart Sell Guide — sell when someone else buys

This guide explains Smart Sell in plain language: pick a mint and pool, set a target market cap, choose skip wallets, fund the deposit bag with tokens, then read the bot card — how much sold, how much is left, and how many wallets you chose.

Smart Sell watches the chart you pick. When someone else buys your token with enough SOL — and market cap is at or above your target — it sells a slice of tokens (25% of that buy) from fresh wallets so you take profit without one giant dump candle.

Who should use this tool

  • - Token teams who want gradual exits into organic buys
  • - Founders who already run volume tools and need a reactive sell path
  • - Anyone who wants a simple “someone buys → we sell a slice” rule
  • - Operators who need clear sold / bag / wallet counts on one card

Primary use case

Use Smart Sell when you want to take profit into real demand without dumping your whole bag from one wallet on the chart.

Take profit into demand, not against it

Smart Sell is for teams who want exits that ride real buys. You set a market-cap finish line, fund a token bag, and let automation sell small slices when outsiders buy — so the chart does not show one wallet dumping everything at once.

Read the scoreboard like a kid could

The bot card is meant to answer three questions instantly: How much did we sell? How much is still in the bag? How many wallets did we choose or use? History lines spell out each buyer spend and the sell that followed in plain words.

Max sell per trade

Sell % sizes the slice against the incoming buy (for example 25% of a 1 SOL buy aims at about 0.25 SOL of tokens). Max sell per trade caps that slice against your remaining bag — default 10%, range 1–100%, set on create or in settings — so one large buy cannot dump the exit. Buys under 0.1 SOL are ignored first; they never reach either limit.

How Smart Sell thinks

Four checks before every sell. If any check fails, the bot skips and moves on — nothing magic, just rules.

Watch the pool you picked

Only buys on your selected chart/pool count. Tiny noise under 0.1 SOL is ignored.

Check your market-cap gate

If live mcap is under your USD target, Smart Sell waits. At or above the target, sells can fire.

Sell a chosen percent of the buy (25–90%)

Sizing follows the buyer’s SOL amount, then a safety cap so one sell cannot drain the whole bag.

Use fresh sell wallets

Tokens move from your deposit bag through unique pool wallets for the swap, then SOL comes back to the deposit.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open Smart Sell and enter the token address — paste the mint or pick from a connected wallet. The pool selector appears once a token with pools is found.

  2. Step 2

    Set your target market cap in USD — below it the bot waits; at or above it, qualifying buys can trigger a sell.

  3. Step 3

    Set sell percentage — how much of each qualifying buy to sell into (for example 25% of a 1 SOL buy aims at about 0.25 SOL of tokens), not a percent of your bag.

  4. Step 4

    Set max sell per trade — the most of your remaining bag one qualifying buy can take (default 10%, range 1–100%). Sell % sizes against the buy; this cap is against the bag.

  5. Step 5

    Optionally add skip wallets (team or bots) so those buys never trigger a sell.

  6. Step 6

    Create the bot, copy the deposit address, send tokens (no SOL deposit required), start when ready, and use Refund later for sold SOL or a full stop-and-refund.

Decision checklist

  • - Mint and pool (chart) are verified.
  • - Target market cap USD matches your exit plan.
  • - Skip wallets for team/bots are listed.
  • - Deposit address funded with tokens (no SOL deposit required).
  • - Someone will watch sold / bag / wallet stats on the bot card.

Risk and trust notes

  • - Smart Sell does not guarantee profit, price support, or chart rankings.
  • - Fund only the shown deposit address — private keys are not shown in the UI; withdraw with Refund.
  • - Fund tokens only — swaps are gasless-first, so no SOL deposit is required.
  • - Add your own team and volume bots as skip wallets so you do not sell into yourself.
  • - Start with a small token bag to validate behavior before depositing a large inventory.

Smart Sell FAQ

What does Smart Sell do, in one sentence?

When a real buyer spends SOL on your chart and market cap is high enough, Smart Sell sells a chosen percent of that buy size in tokens from your deposit bag — using fresh sell wallets — and sends SOL back to you.

Does Smart Sell use a smart contract?

No. You get a deposit address to fund. The bot watches buys with Helius webhooks plus a light poll fallback, then sells through managed pool wallets and returns SOL to the deposit wallet. Withdraw with Refund (sold SOL, or stop and fully refund).

What buys are ignored?

Buys under 0.1 SOL, buys from wallets you chose to skip, and any buy while live market cap is still below your target USD number.

What if the market cap is already above my target when I start?

It does not wait for market cap to drop. The target is a fixed USD number (for example 80% of the pool’s market cap when you set it). While live market cap stays at or above that number, the gate is open — any qualifying buy (a real mint buy, buyer not on your skip list, at least 0.1 SOL) can trigger a sell of a slice of that buy, capped at 10% of the bag per sell.

What will I see on the bot card?

Three clear groups: how much it sold (tokens, SOL received, sell count), how much wallets have left (tokens plus any sold SOL in the deposit bag), and how many wallets you chose (skip wallet count, unique sell wallets used, unique buyers sold into).

What does “a chosen percent of the buy” mean?

If someone buys with 1 SOL and your setting is 25%, Smart Sell aims to sell tokens worth about 0.25 SOL of that demand — not 25% of your entire bag. A per-sell cap also stops one reaction from emptying the deposit.

What is max sell per trade?

It caps how much of your token bag is sold on one qualifying buy, no matter how large the buy is. That protects your exit price from one oversized sale. Default is 10%. You can set 1–100% when you create the bot or later in settings.
