Best tactics for sniping new Solana meme launches right now?

Hey folks, new pools are spinning up so fast lately I keep missing early fills or getting dumped on exit. I started testing Banana Gun bot Pro to auto grab tiny starter buys when LP shows, then scale out at simple 2x / 5x targets and block obvious rug flags. Works ok but slips hard when volume spikes and fees jump.

What tactics are you all using? How tight do you set slippage in the first minute? Do you filter by min liquidity or market cap before aping? Wait for mint freeze off or for LP to lock? Any current meta around priority fees / Jito tips that actually helps fills on the spicy launches?

Drop what’s working, what rugged you, and any dashboards you watch before firing. Keen to learn from the sub.
