Building a Smart Wallet Watchlist
Once you understand how to identify good wallets, the next step is building a watchlist that actually helps you, instead of overwhelming you.
Your goal is simple:
Track a small list of proven wallets and use their activity as early research signals, not trade instructions.
Start small on purpose
Do NOT start with 20+ wallets.
Begin with:
3–5 high-quality wallets
This makes it easier to actually study behavior instead of reacting randomly.
As you gain experience, you can expand, but quality always comes first.
Categories of wallets to track
Organizing wallets into categories makes patterns easier to see.
Here is a simple framework:
🟢 Narrative Spotters
Wallets that consistently buy early when narratives are forming.
These help you see attention shifts before the crowd notices.
🔵 Momentum Traders
Wallets that enter slightly later, but exit very well.
These are great for learning profit-taking discipline.
🟡 Insider-Style Wallets
Wallets that accumulate before announcements or launches.
Use them for awareness, not blind following.
🟣 Long-Term Holders
Wallets that build positions slowly and rarely panic.
Useful for understanding conviction vs hype.
When to ADD a wallet to your list
Add a wallet when it shows:
consistent early entries
controlled losses
logical exits
repeated success across different coins
If it passes these filters, track it.
When to REMOVE a wallet
Do not get attached.
Remove a wallet if:
it stops performing
it begins chasing trends
it takes repeated large losses
its trades become random
A watchlist should be dynamic, not permanent.
Using alerts the right way
Alerts shouldn’t force you to buy.
They simply mean:
“This wallet did something, go check why.”
When an alert fires:
Open the coin
Look at liquidity, volume, and attention
Ask: Does this actually make sense?
If yes → continue research. If no → ignore and move on.
If alerts make you feel rushed, your list is too big, or your size is too large.
Example watchlist structure
You can structure it like this:
🟢 Narrative wallets: 2
🔵 Momentum wallets: 1
🟡 Insider-style wallets: 1
🟣 Long-term holder: 1
Total = 5 wallets.
Clear. Simple. Manageable.
Quick checklist before adding any new wallet
Ask:
Does this wallet win repeatedly?
Do they avoid rugs?
Do they cut losers?
Do their trades look intentional?
Will tracking them actually teach me something?
If the answer is mostly yes, add it.
Bottom line
Your watchlist is not meant to predict pumps.
It is designed to:
reduce noise
highlight early attention
teach discipline
improve decision-making
A great watchlist shows you where to look, not what to buy.
