Trading concepts

Bonding curve — A token launchpad model where price increases programmatically as supply is bought. Common on Solana meme platforms; visible on the chart as the early sloped buy zone before the token migrates to a standard pool. Bundler — A wallet that participated in a coordinated launch transaction (multiple buys arriving in the same block from related sources). Often a strong signal of insider coordination. Honeypot — A token you can buy but cannot sell. Detected and blocked by Dequan’s Honeypot Guard. Insider — A wallet linked by transfer-graph analysis to the deployer or to known alt clusters. Different signal weight than a sniper or bundler. Migration — When a token graduates from its launchpad’s bonding curve to an open pool. Risk and dynamics change at this point. Rug — Generic term for any deliberate exploit by the deployer that damages holders: liquidity drain, dev exit, honeypot toggle, etc. Sniper — A wallet that bought in the very first blocks of a token’s existence, typically a launch-snipe bot. Different from “Sniper” the Dequan tier. TQS — Token Quality Score. See Token Quality Score. A 0-100 risk/quality summary that drives chart palette and Pump Zone filtering.

​

Pump Zone vocabulary

Awakening — The lowest velocity band on the Pump Zone. Tokens here are newly active or showing first-signs-of-life. Building — The second-lowest velocity band. Steady, sustained early momentum. Pumping — The high velocity band. Tokens accelerating into a major move. Mooning — The highest velocity band. Live, parabolic, in-progress mass attention. Cliff (formation) — A token suddenly dropping multiple velocity bands. Visible as a downward streak on the field. Cluster Burst — Multiple tokens lifting from the same area of the field simultaneously. Often signals sector rotation. Migration (formation) — A token gliding rightward through market-cap zones over time. The shape of an organic, sustained run. Vertical — A token rising through velocity bands almost vertically with little horizontal drift. The shape of viral acceleration. Wedge — A token gliding rightward and slightly upward — sustained, deliberate momentum. Field — Dequan’s term for the overall Pump Zone surface, where every active token is positioned spatially. Glyph — An individual token’s visual representation on the field — its dot, its trail, its color, its TQS ring. Lane — A horizontal band on the field corresponding to a velocity range. Tokens move between lanes as their momentum changes. Trail — The recent path of a token across the field, rendered as a fading line behind the glyph.

Execution vocabulary

Adaptive fees — Priority fees calibrated live to network percentiles; see Adaptive Fees & Slippage. Adaptive slippage — Slippage tolerance calibrated to actual quote impact and pool depth. Click-to-fill — Total time from pressing the buy button to the trade being confirmed. The metric that matters. Lightning Wallet — Optional sandboxed custodial wallet for fast trading; see Lightning Wallet. Parallel landing — Broadcasting a signed transaction across multiple submission paths simultaneously; see Parallel Landing. Pre-execution warmup — Background preparation of a trade that begins the moment a chart is opened; see Pre-Execution Warmup. Priority fee — The Solana mechanism by which transactions buy their way into the next block during competitive periods. Quick Buy — One-tap buy preset inside the candle drawer, paired with pre-execution warmup for minimum click-to-fill latency. Quote staleness — How long ago a quote was fetched. Pre-execution warmup keeps this low.

​

Tier and access vocabulary

Apex — Highest invite-only tier; lowest fees, highest limits, priority support; see Sniper & Apex. Scout — Free tier with full feature access; see Scout. Sniper — Mid invite-only tier; reduced fees, higher limits; see Sniper & Apex.

​

Referral vocabulary

Accrued balance — Pending referral earnings that have not yet settled to your wallet. Settlement — The on-chain payout of accrued referral earnings on a regular cadence. Throttle tier — Anti-abuse status of your referral account: Normal, Soft, Heavy, or Freeze. See Referral Anti-Abuse.

​

Reliability vocabulary

Amber — Health indicator state: degraded but functional. Green — Health indicator state: all systems normal. Red — Health indicator state: execution paused for safety. p95 / p99 — Percentile latency measurements. p95 latency is the value below which 95% of trades fall — a more honest measure of “how fast” than median.
