How to Make Money With Meme Coins: 7 Rules Traders Follow on Banana Gun

Seven rules decide how traders make money with meme coins, and Banana Gun puts most of them inside one Telegram chat. Each rule below is tied to a real setting you can check in the bot.

On 2 Nov 2026, GMGN showed Peace Coin up 10,873% within hours of its launch. Moves like that are why you are reading this.

Banana Gun is a Telegram trading bot that bananagun.io lists at 26M+ lifetime trades, $16B+ lifetime volume and 1.5M+ lifetime users (read 3 Nov 2026). The rules below use its real buttons, so you can set each one up today.

The mechanics of a first purchase are covered in the guide on how to buy meme coins; this page is about the rules that sit on top of it.

The seven rules in one list

  1. Buy by contract address: paste it into the chat and read the buy menu.
  2. Size every buy the same, with one fixed SOL amount.
  3. Choose the exit before the fill: Take Profit, Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss, one per position.
  4. Sell a percentage with Tokens, not all.
  5. Keep 0.05 SOL for fees.
  6. Copy only a wallet with a 30-day record and a Spending Limit.
  7. Look where volume launches: 16 of GMGN’s top 20 came from Pump.fun.

Rules one to five are about how you place a trade. Rules six and seven are about what you trade.

Can you make money with meme coins without guessing the top?

The dated numbers say it happens. Peace Coin was created on 2 Nov 2026 at 03:58 UTC and sat at +10,873% in GMGN’s 24h field when pulled at 13:44 UTC, while Anakin Skywalker showed +139.9% on the same list.

You do not need to call the top to take part. You pick the exit in advance, and the order waits for its trigger for as long as its Active time runs.

Rule two keeps sizing honest. Buy Fixed does it for copied buys: set 1 SOL and you buy 1 SOL whether the target buys 0.5 or 2. The fee is 1% per trade on Solana (0.5% on Ethereum manual buys and limit orders).

Rule four sells part of a position, because Tokens is the percentage of your tokens to sell. Rule five keeps 0.05 SOL in the wallet, since the docs show “Insufficient Funds” below it.

Rule three in practice: the Take Profit arithmetic

Paste the contract, tap Setup Sell Limit Order, set Tokens and Active, then choose Take Profit, Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss. One position gets one of the three.

Here is the arithmetic once. You buy 0.5 SOL (about $46 at $91.56 per SOL, CoinGecko, 2 Nov 2026), set Take Profit at +300%, which is 4x, and set Tokens to 80%. The order returns about 1.6 SOL, roughly $146, before fees and slippage.

The 4x and the 80% are settings you choose, not a forecast. A Take Profit set too high never triggers, and an order past its Active time is gone.

A Trailing Stop Loss raises its trigger as price makes new highs, which suits a token that keeps running. The Stop Loss is the pick when you want a floor under the position, and a floor keeps one bad trade from ending your run.

Which wallets are worth following?

Pick a wallet with a documented 30-day record rather than one lucky trade. GMGN showed the Fomo app trader frank at +$258,719 realized PnL over 30 days on 27 Oct 2026, and a wallet like that is what you paste into /copytrade.

Records move. The same frank figure was +$863,301 on 8 Oct and +$447,431 on 20 Oct, while point farm capital showed -$1,163,571 on 20 Oct and -$271,630 on 27 Oct.

Copied buys land after the wallet’s own buy, and the docs warn that some wallets use copiers as exit liquidity. Rule six answers that: a Spending Limit is the total per wallet, and trades above it fail.

Where volume is launching

GMGN’s Solana 24h trending list by volume, top 20, pulled 2 Nov 2026 at 13:44 UTC, had 16 tokens that launched on Pump.fun. That list is where the volume sat that day.

To scan for yourself outside the Telegram trading bot, the Banana Gun Pro Trending page has a chain selector, timeframes from 5M to 24H, and filters for max token age, min market cap, min liquidity and min volume.

Found one? Paste its contract into the bot and read Market Cap, Liquidity and Tax in the buy menu before you tap Buy.

Dacity: profit that sat on the peak field

Dacity was created on 11 Oct 2026. GMGN’s peak market cap field for it reads $17,620,493, and its market cap on 2 Nov was $8,121,710, under half of that.

Profit you do not take is profit that can leave. A Take Profit order is the part of the setup that turns a high into a sale, and it only works when you set a target before the price gets there.

Set the size, set the target, and the next run like Peace Coin’s first day is one you are positioned for, with the exit already waiting.
