# For Traders

*Actionable playbooks for discovery → execution → tracking on Base.*

***

#### What you’ll get

* A repeatable flow to find **good setups**, execute with **low friction**, and manage **risk**.
* Pointers to **Portfolio & claims** so your referral rewards don’t get left behind.

<details>

<summary><strong>Setup (one‑time)</strong></summary>

* **Wallet & gas** — connect with **Privy**; keep **$2–$5** in **ETH on Base** for approvals/tx.
* **Tools** — keep **DEXScreener** open for depth; use **Home** and **Rankings** side by side.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Discovery</strong></summary>

* **Home (real‑time)** — filter **Creates + Buys (≤1h)**; open candidates in new tabs.
* **Rankings (macro)** — scan **Token** & **Creator** boards (1h/24h windows).
* **Creator pages (context)** — prefer creators with rising **total cap**, multiple clips moving, and consistent **24h volume**.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Triage on the Token page</strong></summary>

* Check **chart**, **24h volume**, **recent trades**, **holders**, **market cap**.
* Look for **follow‑through**: buys after the create, comments/likes clustering.
* Thin depth? Reduce size or split orders.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Execute</strong></summary>

* **On Clipcoin** — click **Buy** on the token; confirm **slippage**; sign tx (first time may ask for **approval**).
* **On Uniswap V3** — open pair from **DEXScreener**; verify **pool**; review **price impact**; place swap.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Risk management</strong></summary>

* **Position sizing** — scale in; avoid single large market orders in thin depth.
* **Slippage** — start modest; widen only if depth supports.
* **Breakouts** — confirm with **volume** + **multiple buys**; avoid reacting to likes alone.
* **Exits** — pre‑decide invalidation (e.g., loss of volume/structure) and partial‑take levels.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Track &#x26; claim</strong></summary>

* **Portfolio** — holdings, **portfolio market cap**, PnL context.
* **Referral** — if you used or shared a **referral link**, rewards accrue on‑chain; **claim** from **Referral & rewards** or **Profile**.
* **Creator fees** — if you’re also a verified creator, claim **5% fee share** on your clips.

</details>
