Base Sentimeme AI Trading Strategy beta

Social-data driven memecoin trading strategy on Base

Strategy Description

This strategy builds upon the success of TrendMoon's Ethereum memecoin strategy, now optimized for the Base chain. Leveraging TrendMoon's proprietary social data and advanced market metrics, this strategy is designed to identify and trade emerging memecoin opportunities. By aggregating social attention across Telegram—a critical platform for early-stage crypto projects—the strategy incorporates data on social mentions, mindshare, and sentiment to detect trends and capitalize on them effectively.

The strategy combines social metrics with additional market indicators such as trading volume and momentum to determine optimal entry and exit points. This multi-faceted approach captures upside potential while implementing robust risk management to protect against downside risks.

Core Features:

  • Social Insights: Analyzes Telegram mentions, sentiment, and mindshare for identifying tokens gaining traction.
  • Market Confirmation: Uses trading volume and momentum indicators to validate social trends.
  • Risk Management: Implements stop-losses, trailing stops, and liquidity thresholds to secure profits and limit losses.
  • Daily Execution: Automatically evaluates trading opportunities and rebalances the portfolio.
  • Non-Custodial: Operates on decentralized exchanges with USDC as a reserve asset.

Designed Performance:

The strategy is optimized for bullish or sideways Bitcoin markets where memecoins show strong trends. While performance may decline in downturns, its layered risk management features help mitigate potential losses.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.


Assets and Trading Venues

  • Trades exclusively on the spot market.
  • Focuses on memecoins within the Base ecosystem.
  • Maintains reserves in USDC for stability.
  • Executes trades on major Base DEXes (e.g., Uniswap, Sushiswap).
  • Rebalances positions daily based on market and social metrics.

Risk Management

Key risk management features include:

  • No Leverage: Limits exposure to high volatility.
  • Liquidity Requirements: Ensures tokens meet strict trading volume and liquidity thresholds.
  • Multi-Layer Risk Assessment:
    • Technical Risks: Stop-losses and trailing stop-losses.
    • On-Chain Risks: Evaluates token contract safety (e.g., anti-honeypot mechanisms).
    • Social Risks: Combines sentiment metrics with market data for comprehensive decision-making.
  • Dynamic Sizing: Adjusts position sizes according to liquidity and portfolio conditions.
  • Hourly Monitoring: Automated stop-loss checks to minimize downside.

Backtesting Results

The strategy's backtests for the 2024-2025 period on Base show promising performance:

  • CAGR: 684.39%
  • Sharpe Ratio: 3.00
  • Sortino Ratio: 7.59
  • Max Drawdown: -22%

Backtests demonstrate the strategy's ability to compound smaller returns (20-100%) repeatedly while minimizing catastrophic losses. The low winning percentage reflects the high-risk nature of memecoins but is offset by outsized gains from successful trades.
