Buy Only Once
Buy Only Once stops the bot from buying the same token again after it already took a fill (or already committed to one). It is the switch for βI copy the first entry, not the averaging-inβ.
It lives on each rugger in π° Buy Config. The scope (how wide that lock is) lives on the wallet.
The problem it solves
Without it, a followed wallet can:
- Buy token X, then buy X again 20 seconds later (βaddβ)
- Buy X, sell a bit, buy X again
- Share the same mint with another rugger you also track β you copy both and double the size
Buy Only Once makes the bot treat that mint as already done for the scope you chose.
How to turn it on
- Open the rugger β π° Buy Config
- Tap π Buy Only Once until it shows β
- There is no separate Scope button on Buy Config. The bot asks:
Apply it across this whole wallet?
| You tap | Meaning |
|---|---|
| YES β whole wallet | Token X is copied once on this bot wallet, no matter which tracker on it would have bought it |
| NO β this tracker only | Only this rugger skips a token it already copied. Other ruggers on the same wallet can still buy X |
The Buy Config summary shows the scope in parentheses, for example:
Buy Only Once: β ON (This tracker only)Buy Only Once: β ON (Whole wallet)
The ON/OFF is per rugger. The YES/NO answer is this bot wallet: every rugger on that wallet that has Buy Only Once enabled uses the same scope.
β οΈ This is not βacross all your bot walletsβ. Wallet 2 has its own Buy Only Once scope. YES = every tracker on this wallet.
Change the scope later from π° Wallets β the wallet β Advanced β π― Scope.
Scope: this tracker only vs whole wallet
Imagine one wallet, two copy ruggers, both with Buy Only Once ON. Token PEPE prints.
This tracker only (default)
- Rugger A copies PEPE β A will not copy PEPE again
- Rugger B can still copy PEPE β B never bought it yet
- You can end up with two bags of PEPE if both fire
Whole wallet
- Whoever wins the race (A or B) copies PEPE
- The other is skipped β one bag, one spend
- A later βaddβ from A or B is also skipped
When to use whole wallet: several trackers that overlap (same cabal, mother + children, two KOLs who ape the same CA). You want one entry per mint.
When to use this tracker only: two independent strategies that might buy the same coin on purpose (a sniper and a separate copy trader with a different size).
What counts as βalready boughtβ
The lock is not only βa confirmed trade in Positionsβ. The bot also blocks:
- A second copy-buy on the same mint in the same scope
- A Buy on Dev Sell if that mint is already locked
- A retry after a failed send, if a buy already exists or is reserved
- Buy The Dip on that mint β dip adds are extra buys of the same token, so they are skipped while Buy Only Once is ON for that rugger
A snipe delay still works. The bot waits, then checks the lock again at send time so a delayed rugger cannot steal the slot from a 0-second rugger on whole wallet.
Buy Only Once vs Follow Cooldown vs Buy The Dip
These three are easy to mix up.
| Buy Only Once | Follow Cooldown | Buy The Dip | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filters | Same token again | Next buys too soon, even on other tokens | Extra buys when MC dumps from ATH |
| Unit | Mint | Time (seconds) after a copy | % drop from ATH |
| With BOO ON | Dip adds are blocked | Still applies to other tokens | Needs BOO OFF to fire |
π‘ You can run Buy Only Once + Follow Cooldown together: one entry per token, and no burst of five different tokens in one second.
Other filters still apply
Buy Only Once is a second-buy gate. The first buy still needs:
- Auto-Buy ON (and not paused by Max Loss)
- Tracking that can generate a buy (Track Buys, New Token, Buy on Dev Sell, β¦)
- Snipe Delay, Min/Max MC, Max Token Age, Track Buy Amount, gas, balance, β¦
If the first attempt is skipped because of Min MC, the mint is not βused upβ forever in a useful way β you didnβt get a fill. If a copy did go out and lock the mint, later attempts in that scope are skipped even if you wanted a second shot.
Copy sells are not blocked
Buy Only Once is buys only. Track Sells, Copy Sell %, TP/SL, Trailing SL, No-Activity still run on the position you already have.
Worked example
Wallet Main, scope whole wallet, three ruggers all with Buy Only Once ON:
- KOL-A buys NEWCOIN at 8:01 β you copy 0.3 SOL
- KOL-A buys NEWCOIN again at 8:02 (βaddβ) β skipped
- KOL-B buys NEWCOIN at 8:03 β skipped (same wallet, same mint)
- KOL-A buys OTHERCOIN at 8:04 β copied (different mint)
- NEWCOIN dumps 40% β Buy The Dip on KOL-A does not add
Same story with scope this tracker only: step 3 would copy for KOL-B.
Checklist
- Want one bag per coin on this wallet β Buy Only Once ON + whole wallet
- Want each rugger independent β Buy Only Once ON + this tracker only
- Want DCA / dip buys β Buy Only Once OFF on that rugger, use Buy The Dip
- Burst of different tokens β Follow Cooldown, not Buy Only Once
