A weekly screen like this changes the order you place. Banana Gun, aTelegram trading bot, lets you queue a limit order instead of chasing a candle, so you name the price you will pay before the chart moves.

Why big-cap meme coins rarely do 4x
Large caps move in percent, small caps in multiples.
BONK at $288M needs about $1.15B of market cap for a 4x, which means roughly $860M of new money has to arrive. Five of the seven coins above are more than 90% below their highs, so each of them has already traded far higher once.
A take-profit set at +300% on a coin like this can sit untouched indefinitely, and an order that never triggers never sells. With six of seven coins red over the week, a resting sell order with no stop loss just watches the price drop.
How to trade a large-cap Solana meme coin with a Telegram trading bot
Fund your Banana Gun wallet first: /wallets shows the public key, and the docs ask for at least 0.1 SOL. Then run the same sequence in the Telegram trading bot for any coin on the list.
- Paste the contract address, or a DexScreener or Birdeye link, into the chat. The buy menu opens with Market Cap, Liquidity in SOL, Price, Tax and Recommended Tip.
- Tap aBuypreset or enter a custom SOL amount, then wait for “Buy Success”. The position appears under /positions.
- TapSetup Sell Limit Order. Set “Tokens” to the share you want sold, set “Active” for how long the order lives, and pick “Take Profit” or “Stop Loss”.
- Trigger on a percentage change in “Token Price” or “Market Cap”. The number you type is the multiple minus one: +100% is 2x, +300% is 4x.
Add a “Trailing Stop Loss” on whatever is left, because it raises the trigger as the price makes new highs. For a buy that fails on a volatile coin, the Banana Gun docs list a higher MEV tip, more gas or more slippage.
The bot also runs a sell check before each buy and blocks tokens you cannot sell.
Big caps or small caps: which fits your account?
Big caps swing less in percent. The six coins that fell over the 7 days to 8 Oct 2026 fell between 11.8% and 21.2%, which hurts but does not wipe a position in a day.
Small caps pay in multiples and punish in zeros. A token at $150K needs $600K for 4x, and plenty never get there.
For the small-cap side, you can copy a wallet instead of picking tokens. In Banana Gun that lives in “Copy Trading” or /copytrade: “New Copy Trade”, the target wallet address, then “Max Market Cap” to keep copied buys inside the range you can stomach.
The docs warn that some target wallets buy pump-and-dumps and use copy traders as exit liquidity. A copy fill also lands after the wallet’s own trade, so your price is worse than theirs.
Pick the coin by how much a bad week can cost you, then set the stop loss before the buy.
