Solana Market Maker Cookbook
The ultimate guide to configuring bots for trend and volume management.
📈 1. Gradual Uptrend
Creates the appearance of stable, organic growth. Buys occur more frequently and in slightly larger volumes than sells.
🟢 Auto BUY Bot
- Timer (Seconds): Random | 15 – 45 sec.
- Buy Amount Mode: Random or Percent | 2% – 5% of SOL balance.
- Wallet Order Strategy: Random.
🔴 Auto SELL Bot
- Timer (Seconds): Random | 40 – 90 sec. (less frequent than buys).
- Sell Amount Mode: Random or Percent | 1% – 3% of token balance.
- Wallet Order Strategy: Random.
🚀 2. Fast Uptrend (Pump)
Triggers a sharp price spike. Characterized by aggressive, frequent large-volume buys with minimal selling pressure.

A rapid price drop caused by dominating large-volume sells executed at minimal intervals.

💡 The Secret to Success: Technical Analysis and Crowd Psychology
Truly successful market making requires more than just linearly driving the price up or dumping it down. The key to attracting organic (real) traders lies in understanding and applying Technical Analysis (TA). Most market participants in the DeFi sector make purchasing decisions based almost entirely on visual patterns found on charts like DexScreener or DEXTools.
When you use fine-tuned bots to deliberately "draw" popular technical patterns — such as a Bull Flag, a Cup and Handle, or an Ascending Triangle — you create perfect triggers for the crowd. Traders recognize a familiar setup, their indicators flash buy signals, and they start pouring their own liquidity into your token. By forming classic patterns, you create the most popular and psychologically comfortable entry points, making the market work toward your goals.
