Most people miss the spike not because they sold early, but because they were away when it came and back when it left.
Three ways to put the sell on the book before the move,
$SOL at about 104 USDT as the example. Prices below are examples.
1. OCO. Trade, Spot, order type OCO, Sell. Take-profit limit 120, stop trigger 95, stop limit 94.5. A spike to 120 fills and cancels the stop. A spike to 118 that fades fills nothing, the stop still guards. Fits one target and one floor.
2. Trailing stop. Order type Trailing Stop, Sell, delta 5% (spot allows 0.1% to 20%), activation at market. The trigger rides the high up, never down: a run to 120 lifts it to 114, the pullback sells there. You skip the top, keep most of the run. Fits whoever lets the trend call it. 📉
3. Ladder. Limit, Sell, three orders at 110, 115, 120. A spike to 116 fills two, the third rests. No stop underneath. Fits a holder trimming, not exiting.
Cost: the standard 0.1% spot fee, no API key (if you script it, withdrawals off, IP restricted).
Goes wrong: a delta tighter than a normal day's swing.
$SOL moved about 3% in 24h on a quiet day, so a 2% delta sells on noise.
Today's data says SOL moves a few percent for no reason, so an automated sell sits wider than that.
