Pump.fun AutoSell: Take Profit, Stop Loss & Trailing Stop

Why Exits Are the Hardest Part of Memecoin Trading

On Pump.fun, a token can go from launch to 100× in under an hour — and then retrace 90% just as fast. The market cap moves in seconds, alpha callers rotate to the next call, and liquidity drains before most holders even notice the chart turning red. Buying the right token at the right time is only half the trade. The exit determines whether you actually keep the profit.

The core problem is emotional: when a token is up 4×, you want more. When it drops from 4× back to 2×, you tell yourself it will recover. By the time it hits break-even, fear takes over and you sell for nothing. This cycle repeats on virtually every trade where a human is making the exit decision in real time.

The solution is to define your exit before you buy and let a bot execute it for you. Remove the emotion entirely. That is exactly what Thor's AutoSell is designed to do.

What Is Thor's AutoSell Feature?

AutoSell is Thor's automated exit system. The moment your buy transaction confirms on-chain, Thor immediately registers your preconfigured take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing stop orders on its private monitoring infrastructure. From that point on, Thor watches the token price 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — on dedicated private nodes — and executes your exits the instant a target is hit.

You do not need to stay online. You do not need to watch the chart. The orders live on Thor's servers, not on your local device, so closing the app or turning off your computer has no effect. Your exit strategy is locked in at the moment of purchase and will execute automatically at any hour.

AutoSell works across every platform Thor supports. Configure it once in the Telegram bot or Thor Sniper and it applies to every buy — including trades made through the Chrome extension on DexScreener, Pump.fun, or Axiom.

How AutoSell Works Step by Step

1. Configure your presets. In Thor's settings, define your default TP, SL, and trailing stop percentages. These presets apply automatically to every buy.
2. Buy the token. Execute a buy on any supported platform — Chrome extension, Telegram bot, or Sniper. Thor detects the confirmed buy transaction.
3. Orders register instantly. Within milliseconds of buy confirmation, Thor registers your TP, SL, and trailing stop on its private monitoring servers.
4. Thor monitors 24/7. Private nodes stream on-chain price data continuously. No polling delays, no downtime windows.
5. Target hit → sell fires. The moment the price touches your level, Thor executes the sell with anti-MEV Jito protection and your configured slippage.

Take Profit: Locking In Gains Automatically

A take-profit order sells a defined percentage of your position when the token reaches a target price multiplier. For example: sell 50% of your holdings when the token hits 3× your entry price.

The power of take-profit in memecoin trading is that it removes the decision from you entirely. You do not need to be watching the chart at 3 AM when a token pumps. You do not need to fight the urge to hold for 10× while a 3× profit evaporates back to 1×. The order fires automatically, SOL lands in your wallet, and you are still exposed to further upside with whatever position remains.

Multi-Level Take Profits

Thor supports multiple TP levels on the same position. A common strategy used by experienced Pump.fun traders:

At TP1 you are playing with house money. At TP2 you have already booked a strong return. The trailing stop on the remainder means you do not leave the table early if the token keeps running, but you also do not give back everything if momentum reverses.

What Take Profit Percentage Should You Use?

There is no universal answer — it depends on your risk tolerance and the type of token. A few general guidelines:

• Early Pump.fun launches (under $50K market cap): High volatility, high potential. First TP at 2–3× to recover initial capital quickly.
• Mid-stage tokens ($100K–$500K market cap): More stable. TP targets of 1.5–2× are realistic without overstaying.
• KOL-called tokens: Fast pumps with fast retracements. Aggressive TP at 1.5–2× often outperforms holding for larger targets.

Stop Loss: Capping Your Downside on Every Trade

A stop loss sells your entire position when the token price drops to a defined percentage below your entry. It is your circuit breaker — the maximum loss you are willing to accept before the bot exits the position for you.

Without a stop loss, a bad trade can wipe out the gains from multiple good ones. On Pump.fun, where a significant percentage of tokens fail to sustain any price action after the initial launch pump, stop losses are not optional — they are what separates traders who survive long enough to find winning tokens from those who blow up their portfolio on a single position.

Choosing Your Stop Loss Level

The right stop loss depends on how much volatility you are willing to tolerate and the stage of the token:

• Tight stop (−20% to −30%): Best for tokens where you have high conviction and want to keep losses small if the thesis is wrong. Beware of being stopped out by normal volatility.
• Standard stop (−40% to −50%): Gives the token room to breathe through early price discovery while still capping maximum loss.
• Wide stop (−60% to −70%): For speculative early-stage entries where you expect high volatility but believe in the token's potential. Position sizing should be smaller to match the wider stop.

Stop Loss vs. AutoSell in Practice

Without AutoSell, executing a stop loss requires you to be watching the chart, recognize that the price has hit your mental level, and then place the sell manually — all while the chart is dropping and your emotions are pulling you to "wait for a bounce." Thor's AutoSell eliminates every one of those failure points. The sell fires the moment the price hits your stop, with no human intervention required.

Trailing Stop Loss: Let Winners Run Without Giving Back Gains

A trailing stop loss is the most powerful exit tool available for memecoin trading. Unlike a fixed stop loss — which stays at a static price and never moves — a trailing stop follows the token price upward as it rises, and only triggers when the price reverses by a defined percentage from its peak.

How Trailing Stops Work

When you set a 25% trailing stop on a token you bought at $0.001:

1. Token rises to $0.003 (3×). Your trailing stop is now set at $0.00225 — 25% below the peak.
2. Token continues to $0.005 (5×). Trailing stop moves up to $0.00375.
3. Token reverses and falls to $0.00375. Thor fires the sell automatically at $0.00375 — locking in a 3.75× return.

Compare this to a fixed TP at 3×: you would have exited at $0.003 and missed the move to $0.005. Compare it to holding with no exit plan: you might have held all the way back to $0.001. The trailing stop captures most of the upside move and exits near the top of the reversal without requiring you to predict exactly where the peak will be.

Combining Trailing Stops with Take Profits

The most effective strategy is to combine fixed TPs with a trailing stop on the remaining position:

• Sell 50% at a fixed TP (e.g., 3×) to guarantee profit and recover your initial capital.
• Attach a trailing stop (e.g., 25%) to the remaining 50% — so if the token runs to 10×, your trail exits near 7.5×. If it reverses immediately after your TP, the trail stops you out with a smaller but still positive return.

This structure eliminates the worst outcome — giving back all gains — while keeping upside exposure on every token that continues running.

How to Configure AutoSell in Thor

AutoSell is configured in the Thor Telegram bot or Thor Sniper — not inside the Chrome extension itself. Once set up in Telegram, your AutoSell settings apply automatically to every buy you execute, including trades made through the Chrome extension on DexScreener, Pump.fun, or any other supported platform.

Option 1 — Thor Telegram Bot (+ Chrome Extension)

Configure AutoSell once in the Telegram bot and it will fire on every subsequent buy — whether you trade via the bot or the Chrome extension.

1. Open Thor on Telegram and go to Settings → AutoSell.
2. Enable AutoSell and configure your targets:

3. Save. From this point every buy — including buys from the Chrome extension — will have these exit orders registered automatically on confirmation.

Option 2 — Thor Sniper (Windows Desktop — Fully Automated)

Thor Sniper has AutoSell built into each preset. Configure entry and exit parameters once and the bot handles the entire trade cycle autonomously — buy on contract address detection, then immediately register and monitor TP/SL/trailing stop — with zero manual steps.

1. Download and install Thor Sniper for Windows.
2. Open Preset configuration. Each preset defines a full strategy: buy amount, slippage, priority fee, and AutoSell targets (TP, SL, trailing stop).
3. Assign the preset to your social sources — Telegram channels, Twitter/X accounts, or Discord servers.
4. Leave Thor Sniper running. It monitors all sources 24/7, buys the moment a contract address appears, and handles the exit automatically.
