# Good and Bad Buys As you get used to running this bot, you'll get a sense of what makes a good and bad buy. You'll want the dip you bought to stand out, the goal is that after you buy, you're certain it'll go back up, **if you've bought a dip but its just how the coin is normally moving, its not really a good buy, you want the dip you bought to stand out and be lower and heavier then the normal movement on that token.** I like to keep my trades short, usually below 10 seconds, if nothing is happening after my buy for 10 seconds, I'll cut my losses and wait for the next, I'm very strong on cutting my trades early because if its a good buy, it'll be auto sold within that time frame. if its a weird dip, or if I'm just not feeling it, I'll sell it. This is something that's very hard to describe and understand, It's just something that's acquired overtime by running our bot. Just take a mental note of when trades went good and bad and try to group them together so as time goes on, you'll recognize if its going to be a rough buy or not. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
