Protect Your Profits Using Photon

Trading Solana memecoins can be very hard with all those pumps, dumps, and rugs all happen in minutes. That’s why setting the right sell orders is just as important as choosing which token to buy. Photon makes this easier by giving us multiple ways to automate exits and protect gains.

Here are the main sell order strategies you can set up in Photon:

1. Market Cap Drop %

Set a sell trigger if market cap drops by a specific percentage.

Example: If you want to exit when market cap drops 20% from the peak, Photon handles it automatically.

Great for locking in profits during high volatility without babysitting the chart.

1. Exact Market Cap Target

You choose a specific market cap number as your exit point.

Once the token hits that exact cap (or falls below it), Photon sells for you.

Perfect if you have a clear target in mind (e.g., “I’m out at $5M MC”).

1. Visual Target Line

Photon lets you drag a line on the chart to set your sell level.

Intuitive for traders who prefer chart-based decision making.

Useful when you’re watching a chart live and want a quick, clean exit point.

1. Partial Exit Strategy

Instead of selling 100% at one price, Photon lets you scale out: • 25% at your first profit target • 50% at the next • 75%+ if the pump keeps going

This secures profits while leaving room to capture more upside.

1. Overnight Protection

Set a stop-loss order before sleeping.

If the token tanks while you’re offline, Photon automatically sells.

Helps you preserve capital instead of waking up to a bag that went to zero.

The best part is you can combine these strategies. For example, scale out with partial exits on the way up while also keeping an overnight stop-loss as insurance. Hope this helped.
