🛡️ Security & golden rules
Three layers of protection: what the architecture guarantees by
construction, what the signal screening filters for you, and what will always
remain in your hands. This page covers all three — without lulling you:
memecoins remain dangerous terrain.
1. Non-custodial — the architectural guarantee
The app's founding promise: your private key never leaves your device.
Concretely:
- the server builds UNSIGNED transactions; they're worthless until YOUR
wallet (Phantom, Backpack, MetaMask) signs them, locally;
- connecting your wallet to the app gives it no power over your funds — it only allows it
to propose transactions, which you can always refuse;
- there exists NO app operation that moves your money without a signing gesture from
you.
The seed phrase — the absolute rule
Your recovery phrase (12/24 words) is the key to EVERYTHING.
Nobody from Mon Petit
Tradeur will ever ask you for it — not by message, not “to verify your account”, not
“to unlock a gain”. Whoever asks for it is a thief, without exception. Never type it anywhere
other than in your wallet application.
2. The signal safety screen
Before a card reaches you, every candidate token goes through an automatic check — and what
fails is never broadcast:
- Liquidity floor — a token you can't sell back isn't a trade, it's a
trap;
- Holder concentration — a greedy top-5 = price-crushing risk;
- Sellability (anti-honeypot) — the app verifies a SELL route actually
exists: a token you can buy but not sell is eliminated;
- Token authorities — mint and freeze preferably revoked: a creator who
can print tokens at will or freeze your wallet is a red flag;
- Ongoing collapse — a token already in free fall is not signaled.
What the screen CANNOT do
It eliminates traps DETECTABLE at signal time. It cannot prevent a creator from dumping their
bag ten minutes later, a whale from exiting, or a healthy token from simply dying of
indifference. The screen reduces structural risk — it doesn't create a safe token. A safe
memecoin doesn't exist.
3. Memecoin traps — know them to see them coming
- Rug pull
- The creator (or a big holder) pulls the liquidity or dumps their tokens: the price
collapses in seconds. Warning signs: high concentration, thin liquidity, creator heavily
loaded at birth.
- Honeypot
- A token you can buy but not sell (the contract blocks sales). Our screen tests
sellability before broadcasting — but if you buy outside the signals, that test is on
you.
- Fake volume / wash trading
- Bots buy and sell the token to each other to simulate hype. That's why our signals start
from WALLETS (actors with measured track records), not from raw volume.
- Phishing
- Fake sites, fake “Mon Petit Tradeur” bots, fake support contacting you first. Check the
site address (monpetittradeur.com), never approve a transaction you didn't initiate, and
reread the seed-phrase rule above.
The golden rules — your side of the contract
- Only commit what you can lose entirely. Not “mostly” — entirely.
Memecoins can do −100%.
- Set your exit before entering. SL and TP placed at opening, not when
panic decides for you.
- Set your daily loss limit —
the breaker that stops you on a bad day, set on a good one.
- Verify the mint, never the ticker. A hundred tokens are called $PEPE;
only one has the address attached to your card.
- The suggested size is a ceiling, not a challenge. No signal, however
pretty, justifies exceeding it.
- There will always be a next signal. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is the
first cause of bad entries — passing is a strategy.
- Never trade what you don't understand — the
A→Z index and this guide exist for that.
The unpleasant reminder, one last time
Mon Petit Tradeur is an information tool: it measures, screens, alerts — it guarantees
nothing and doesn't advise investing. Past performance does not predict future results. If a
total loss would put you in difficulty, the right stake is zero.
