Moon Bag Mode
Settings · Updated 2026-07-27
What is a Moon Bag?
A "moon bag" is a common crypto trading strategy where you take profits on a winning trade while keeping a small portion of your position open in case the token continues to rise ("goes to the moon"). This lets you:
- Recover your initial investment - Get your money back
- Lock in profits - Secure most of your gains
- Maintain upside exposure - Keep some tokens for potential further gains
How Moon Bag Mode Works
When Moon Bag Mode is enabled and a profit-taking trigger fires (Take Profit, Trailing Stop, or Trailing Take Profit), the bot checks if your profit meets your threshold. If it does:
- Calculate the sell amount: Initial investment + X% of your profits
- Execute partial sell: Sell only the calculated amount
- Keep moon bag: Remaining tokens stay in your wallet
- Disable auto-sells: All automated selling is disabled for that position
- Continue tracking: P&L updates and price alerts continue normally
Example
With default settings (33% threshold, 90% profit take):
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Invested: 1 SOL | |
| Current Value: 2 SOL (100% profit) | Profit meets 33% threshold ✓ |
| Sell Amount: 1 SOL + 0.9 SOL (90% of profit) | = 1.9 SOL |
| Moon Bag: 0.1 SOL worth of tokens | Kept for potential upside |
If your profit is below the threshold (e.g., 20% profit with 33% threshold), a normal 100% sell executes instead.
NOTE: If you want to leave a moonbag on every position with profit, just set your threshold to 1%.

After Moon Bag Executes
Basic Mode
Once a moon bag sell completes in Basic Mode:
- 🌙 Indicator: Position shows 🌙 emoji in dashboard
- Auto-sells disabled: No Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stop, or TTP
- Manual only: You decide when to sell the remaining tokens
- P&L tracking: Continues normally
- Price alerts: Still sent if enabled
Plan Mode
In Plan Mode, moon bag behavior is different:
- Subsequent plan stages continue executing on remaining tokens
- The position is not locked to manual-only
- This allows multi-stage plans to use moon bag as an intermediate step
Best Practices
When to Use Moon Bag Mode
✅ Good scenarios:
- Trading volatile meme coins with high upside potential
- When you want to "let winners run" while securing profits
- During bull markets when tokens can 10x+
❌ Consider disabling for:
- Stablecoin or low-volatility trades
- When you need to fully exit positions quickly
- If you prefer hands-off, fully automated trading

FAQ
Q: What happens if I buy more of a moon bag token? A: The position stays in "moon bag mode" with auto-sells disabled. You'll need to manually manage all sells.
Q: Can I re-enable auto-sells on a moon bag position? A: Not currently. Once a position enters moon bag mode, it stays in manual-only mode until closed.
Q: Does moon bag mode work with Stop Loss? A: No. Stop Loss always sells 100% because its purpose is to cut losses quickly, not preserve upside.
Q: What if my moon bag becomes worthless? A: This is the risk of holding. You've already recovered your investment and most profits - the moon bag is "house money" you're willing to risk.
