Market Metrics

Market Cap (MCAP)

The total market value of a token’s circulating supply.
Market Cap = Current Price × Circulating Supply
On Alpes Sniper:
  • MCAP Entry - Market cap when signal was generated
  • Current MCAP - Live market cap (updates periodically)
  • MCAP ATH - Highest market cap reached after signal
Compare Entry MCAP vs Current MCAP to quickly assess performance.

Liquidity

The total value of assets in the token’s trading pool(s). Why it matters:
  • Higher liquidity = easier to trade
  • Low liquidity = high slippage risk
  • Indicates trading activity level
Be cautious with very low liquidity tokens - you may not be able to sell at expected prices.

Volume 24h

Total trading volume in the last 24 hours. Indicators:
  • High volume = active trading interest
  • Sudden volume spikes may indicate news or manipulation
  • Declining volume may indicate waning interest

Holders

Number of unique wallet addresses holding the token. Consider:
  • Growing holders = healthy sign
  • Rapid holder growth at launch = potential early interest
  • Declining holders = possible concern

Token Information

Age

Time since the token contract was deployed.

Contract Address

The unique identifier for the token on Solana blockchain.
Always verify the contract address before trading. Scammers create fake tokens with similar names.

Status Indicators

DEX Paid

Token has purchased enhanced information on DEX platforms (like DexScreener). What it means:
  • Team invested in visibility
  • Token page has logo, description, links
  • Often indicates more serious project

Performance Metrics

ROI (Return on Investment)

Percentage return from entry price.
ROI = ((Current MCAP / Entry MCAP) - 1) × 100%
Examples:
  • Entry: 100KCurrent:100K → Current: 200K = 100% ROI (2x)
  • Entry: 100KCurrent:100K → Current: 500K = 400% ROI (5x)
  • Entry: 100KCurrent:100K → Current: 50K = -50% ROI

ATH ROI

The best ROI achieved (at All-Time High market cap).
ATH ROI shows the maximum opportunity the signal provided, even if current price is lower.

Time to ATH

How long after the signal was generated until the token reached its ATH. Patterns:
  • Quick ATH (< 24h) = momentum play
  • Gradual ATH (days/weeks) = organic growth
  • No ATH reached = signal didn’t perform

Signal Status

Active

Token is still trading and hasn’t met criteria for other statuses.

Winner

Token achieved 2x or higher from entry market cap.

Dead

Token has dropped significantly and shows no recovery signs:
  • Very low market cap
  • Minimal trading activity
  • Declining holders

Rugged

Token was abandoned:
  • Liquidity removed
  • Team disappeared
  • Contract issues
Dead and Rugged tokens should be avoided. These statuses help you learn from past signals.
