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:

  1. Calculate the sell amount: Initial investment + X% of your profits
  2. Execute partial sell: Sell only the calculated amount
  3. Keep moon bag: Remaining tokens stay in your wallet
  4. Disable auto-sells: All automated selling is disabled for that position
  5. Continue tracking: P&L updates and price alerts continue normally

Example

With default settings (33% threshold, 90% profit take):

ScenarioResult
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 tokensKept 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.
