Guide

How to read the launch rail. Paper only: nothing here buys or sells.

What the rail is

Every coin with a paid DexScreener profile or boost, up to 30 days old, runs 5 gates in order: Pool → Integrity → Clock → Stage → Size. The first gate it fails is where it stops. Nothing is averaged. The server pulls every 30 seconds. The rail re-reads the stored pull every 15 seconds while it is open; no page ever pulls.

Lanes

  • Watch— Passed every gate. Research it, don't buy it.

    Passed every gate, and the safety check returned pass or warn. Research it, don't buy it: open it for the safety evidence and the trace. Paper only.

  • Wait— Too early to judge.

    Can't be judged yet. The clock decides, not you.

  • Trap— Winner's size, wrong clock. Don't chase.

    Looks like a winner on size. The clock or the drawdown says otherwise.

  • Killed— Out while its reason holds.

    Out. A kill holds while its reason holds; it releases when a later pull shows the reason gone.

Reading a row

Pips
The 5 gates. Grey passed, coloured is where it stopped, hollow was never reached.
Badge
The segment where it stopped, in its lane's colour.
Sentence
The number that made the call.
Safety
✓ Pass, ! Warn, ✕ Block, ? Unknown. Unknown is never pass, and a coin with no verdict cannot reach Watch.
Record
Winners over resolved outcomes for the segment. It reads 'no book yet' until 30 are resolved.
Entity chip
Other coins that share a deployer, funder, social, domain or image with this one. Counts only.
kill pending
One kill reading. It sticks only if the next pull, at least 25 seconds later, reads it too. Until then the coin keeps its lane.
  • PassEvery block-level check ran and passed. Not a buy.
  • WarnChecks ran; at least one warning. Read the evidence.
  • BlockA block-level check failed. The rail kills the coin with kind safety.
  • UnknownNo check has run, a source did not answer, or a block-level check could not run. Unknown is never pass.

What to do with a Watch coin

Open it with a click, a tap or Enter. The panel shows its sentence, the safety evidence, every gate's check and what would move it next. The dossier has its full history. Watch means 'research this', never 'buy'. The Watch-entry strategy trades its first Watch entry on paper.

Gates and segments

Each gate asks one question. The segments under it are where a coin can stop there, with the lane each one sends it to.

SegmentLaneWhat it means
1 Pool — Is there a real pool and a live tape?
Empty poolS7KilledKilledCap over $100k on a pool under $800. The price is a mark, not a bid.
No pool dataS7?KilledKilledOff the curve and the feed reports no pool depth at all. Unknown counts as a fail.
Dust poolS7dKilledKilledOff the curve with a pool under $800, whatever the cap. The price is a mark, not a bid.
No tapeS7KilledKilledA day old or more and under $50k traded in 24h. The rank is the product.
2 Integrity — Has it already collapsed, or is the volume fake?
CollapsedRUGKilledKilledDown 90% or more inside the window. Whatever happened has happened.
Wash volumeBADKilledKilledVolume over 15× cap on a pool under $12k with a cap under $50k. Bots trading with themselves.
Safety blockBLKKilledKilledThe contract or holder check found a block-level risk: a failed sell, a tax, an owner power or a concentrated supply.
3 Clock — Is it still inside launch hour?
DumpedS1xKilledKilledUnder 2h old and already −60% on the hour. The first buyers took the high.
Too big, too fastS4 trapTrapTrap$1M+ cap and a $50k+ pool, but under 2h old. Winner's size on a launch clock.
Launch hourS1WaitWaitUnder 2h. The candle is the launch. Launch-hour buys were 6% of the book's profit.
4 Stage — Is it on the curve, or past its high?
On curveS2WaitWaitStill inside a launchpad bonding curve. Migration is a blackout.
PeakedS5TrapTrapUnder 36h and either at $800k+ and already −30% on 6h or −40% on 1h, or 30% or more off a stored high of $800k+. The high is in; the posts aren't.
5 Size — Which money band is it in for its age?
Sub-$100kLOTWaitWaitPast launch hour, off the curve, still under $100k. In the wallet book this band was a lottery, not a zero. From v4.1.0 it waits: the kill runs in shadow until it has 30 resolved outcomes.
FDV onlyFDVWaitWaitThe feed gave FDV and no market cap. FDV is not circulating supply, so no size band applies, and none is invented.
Drifting—WaitWaitOff the curve but in no band: past 12h under $1M, or sized with a thin pool.
Off-quote poolGQWaitWaitStopped before the clock: its deepest pool is quoted in another token, so the USD depth moves with that token. The clock and size bands were not asked.
UnprovenGTWaitWaitWould be on Watch, but the tape is suspect: churn, sell pressure, or −30% or worse on 6h. The band is right; the demand isn't proven.
UnverifiedGSWaitWaitWould be on Watch, but no contract or holder check has come back. Unknown is not a pass.
Graduated <$1MS3WatchWatchOff the curve, $100k–$1M, under 12h. The book's first-quarter runner buyers entered ~12h in at ~$0.6M.
Sized, too youngS4 waitWaitWait$1–50M and under 7 days. The band that paid — but recognition starts at day 7, so it waits (v4.4.0).
Recognition windowS4WatchWatchDay 7–30, $1–50M, $50k+ pool. The only segment that paid in the Fomo book.

Where to look

Rail
Every coin in the newest pull.
Archive
Every coin the rail has recorded, with its outcome.
Calibration
Does each lane deliver, rule set by rule set.
Paper
What following the signals would have returned, on paper.
Intake
New pools the rail does not place yet.

Glossary

cascade
The 5 gates in order; the first stop wins. Nothing is averaged into a score.
gate
One step of the cascade, asking one question: Pool, Integrity, Clock, Stage, Size.
segment
Where a coin stopped: a named band with its own sentence and lane. The badge on a row.
lane
Watch, Wait, Trap or Killed: what to do with the coin. On the rail, colour means lane and nothing else.
on curve
Still inside a launchpad bonding curve. Migration is a blackout.
graduated
Off the launchpad's bonding curve and trading on a pool. Graduated <$1M: Off the curve, $100k–$1M, under 12h. The book's first-quarter runner buyers entered ~12h in at ~$0.6M.
FDV
Fully diluted value: every token at today's price, not the circulating supply. A row prints 'FDV' when the feed gave no market cap, and then no size band applies.
pool and “× pool”
Pool: the dollar depth of the coin's pools, the exit. “× pool” under the Vol 24h figure: that volume over the pool depth.
prior
On the entity chip: other coins sharing a deployer, funder, social, domain or image, launched before this one. Counts only, never a rate.
kill pending
One kill reading. It sticks only if the next pull, at least 25 seconds later, reads it too.
held kill
A kill whose reason still holds on this pull. It releases when a later pull shows the reason gone.
no book yet
Fewer than 30 resolved outcomes for the segment: the counts show, a rate does not.
book
In 'no book yet', a segment's track record. The Archive page (/book) is every recorded coin.
unmeasured
No outcome for the segment has resolved yet: nothing is known about what this stop keeps or removes.
regime
The market regime per chain, from DefiLlama daily closes. It never moves a coin's lane.
armed
The switch counts: the last two daily closes sit past its line, or the last close and the week's average do.
fixed line
A set dollar line, not a percentile of any window.
pull
One read of the feeds by the server, every 30 seconds. Pages read the stored pull; no page ever pulls.
unprofiled
A new pool whose coin has no paid DexScreener profile or boost. It shows on the Birth tape and on Intake, and is never placed on the rail.
paper
Orders simulated from stored quotes. No transaction is ever sent.

Alerts on Discord

The rail posts its signals to these Discord channels. Signals only: no message tells anyone to buy or sell.

term-top
A coin's first Watch entry, with safety pass and a pool of $50.0k or more, on live rules. At most 10 a day.
term-alerte
Every other Watch entry; Watch leaves, held 65 minutes so bounces are dropped; kills and releases of coins on Watch in the last 24 hours; safety changes; $75.0k crosses.
term-iesiri
The end of a Watch run, and paper exits (paper only, no trade made).
term-raport
The daily report at about 06:00 UTC.

For agents

Read-only JSON. A missing value is null with a reason. Rates only from 30 resolved. Every verdict carries its rule version. Nothing in the API writes, pins or trades.

Rules in this build: v4.6.0. Compare versions on Calibration.
