TL;DR: Tiny buys (0.00001 SOL) maximize buy transaction count cheaply – traders see "1,000+ buys" as a demand signal. Large buys (0.05-0.25 SOL) pump your chart with green candles and price increases. Use tiny buys for social proof, large buys for chart pumping, or combine both for maximum effect.
Two Ways to Use Buy Bot
Pump.fun Buy Bot isn't one-size-fits-all. There are two completely different strategies:
| Strategy | Buy Amount | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Tiny Buys | 0.00001 SOL | Maximize buy count |
| Large Buys | 0.05-0.25 SOL | Pump chart price |
Choosing wrong wastes SOL. This guide helps you pick the right approach.
Strategy 1: Tiny Buys (Maximize Buy Count)
What It Is
Execute thousands of micro-buys at the smallest amount possible.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Buy amount | 0.00001 SOL |
| Buy rate | High (50-100/min) |
| Target | 1,000-10,000+ buys |
What Traders See
When someone checks your token on Pump.fun:
Before tiny buys: "47 buys"
After tiny buys: "2,847 buys"
High buy count = social proof that people are buying.
Why It Works
- Traders scan buy/sell counts before investing
- "2,000+ buys" looks more active than "50 buys"
- Creates perception of demand
- Psychological trigger: "Others are buying, I should too"
Cost Breakdown
| Buys | Platform Fee | Buy Amount | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | 0.5 SOL | 0.01 SOL | ~0.51 SOL |
| 2,000 | 1 SOL | 0.02 SOL | ~1.02 SOL |
| 5,000 | 2.5 SOL | 0.05 SOL | ~2.55 SOL |
| 10,000 | 5 SOL | 0.1 SOL | ~5.1 SOL |
Key insight: You get 10,000 buy transactions for ~5 SOL. Extremely cost-effective for social proof.
Best For
✅ Building social proof ("lots of people buying")
✅ Low budget campaigns
✅ New token launches needing activity signals
✅ Combining with Bump Bot for visibility + buy count
✅ Tokens where price pump isn't the priority
Not Ideal For
❌ Actually moving the price up
❌ Creating visible green candles
❌ Generating significant buy volume (SOL)
Strategy 2: Large Buys (Pump the Chart)
What It Is
Execute fewer buys with significant SOL amounts to move price.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Buy amount | 0.05 - 0.25 SOL |
| Buy rate | Moderate (10-30/min) |
| Target | Visible price increase |
What Traders See
When someone checks your token chart:
Before large buys: Flat line, no movement
After large buys: Rising chart, green candles
Rising chart = FOMO trigger that attracts buyers.
Why It Works
- Traders look at charts before buying
- Green candles signal momentum
- Rising price creates urgency ("buy before it goes higher")
- Price pump attracts more organic buyers
Cost Breakdown
| Buys | Platform Fee | Buy Amount | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 0.025 SOL | 2.5 SOL (0.05×50) | ~2.5 SOL |
| 100 | 0.05 SOL | 10 SOL (0.1×100) | ~10 SOL |
| 100 | 0.05 SOL | 15 SOL (0.15×100) | ~15 SOL |
| 100 | 0.05 SOL | 25 SOL (0.25×100) | ~25 SOL |
Key insight: You're spending real SOL to buy tokens and push price. More expensive but creates actual chart movement.
Best For
✅ Pumping the chart with green candles
✅ Creating price momentum / FOMO
✅ Pre-migration price push
✅ Making chart look bullish
✅ Attracting organic buyers through rising price
Not Ideal For
❌ Limited budget campaigns
❌ Just needing activity metrics
❌ Long-term sustained activity (expensive)
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Tiny Buys | Large Buys |
|---|---|---|
| Buy amount | 0.00001 SOL | 0.05-0.25 SOL |
| Primary goal | Buy count metric | Price pump |
| Chart impact | Minimal | Significant |
| Cost for impact | ~1-5 SOL | ~10-25 SOL |
| What traders notice | "Lots of buys!" | "Price is rising!" |
| Best metric boosted | Buy transaction count | Buy volume + price |
| Budget friendly | Yes | No |
| Creates FOMO | Indirect (social proof) | Direct (rising price) |
When to Use Tiny Buys
Scenario 1: New Launch, Limited Budget
You just launched and have ~2 SOL for marketing.
Strategy:
- Run tiny buys to get 2,000-4,000 buy transactions
- Combine with Bump Bot for front page visibility
- Let buy count create social proof
Cost: ~1-2 SOL for thousands of buys
Scenario 2: Activity Signal Before Promotion
You're about to post on Twitter/Telegram and want the token to look active.
Strategy:
- Run tiny buys to boost buy count to 1,000+
- Now when people check, they see buying activity
- Converts more viewers to buyers
Cost: ~0.5-1 SOL
Scenario 3: Sustaining Long-Term Activity
You want continuous buying activity over hours/days.
Strategy:
- Tiny buys let you run thousands of transactions affordably
- Maintain "active buying" appearance
- Budget lasts much longer
Cost: Scale based on duration needed
When to Use Large Buys
Scenario 1: Chart is Flat, Need Green Candles
Your token chart looks dead. No movement = no interest.
Strategy:
- Run large buys (0.1-0.2 SOL each) to create visible price movement
- Chart shows green candles
- Rising chart attracts organic buyers
Cost: ~10-20 SOL for noticeable impact
Scenario 2: Pre-Migration Price Push
Bonding curve is 70-80% complete. You want strong price before migration.
Strategy:
- Aggressive large buys to pump price
- Token migrates at higher valuation
- Better starting point on AMM
Cost: ~15-25 SOL
Scenario 3: Creating FOMO During Launch
You want immediate momentum and buying frenzy.
Strategy:
- Large buys create rapid price increase
- Visible green candles attract attention
- Organic buyers pile in fearing they'll miss out
Cost: ~10-25 SOL
Combining Both Strategies
The most effective approach often combines both:
Phase 1: Tiny Buys for Social Proof
First 30 minutes:
- Tiny buys: 2,000 transactions
- Cost: ~1 SOL
- Result: "2,000+ buys" metric
Phase 2: Large Buys for Chart Pump
Next 30 minutes:
- Large buys: 100 × 0.1 SOL
- Cost: ~10 SOL
- Result: Rising chart, green candles
Combined Result
Traders see:
- ✅ High buy count (social proof)
- ✅ Rising chart (momentum)
- ✅ Green candles (bullish signal)
Total cost: ~11 SOL for comprehensive buy activity

|---|---|

| Need buy count metric | Tiny buys |
| Need price movement | Large buys |

Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Using Large Buys on Tight Budget
Wrong: Spend 3 SOL on 30 large buys
Result: Minimal chart impact, budget gone
Right: Spend 3 SOL on 5,000+ tiny buys
Result: Strong buy count metric, social proof
Mistake 2: Using Tiny Buys When Chart Pump Needed
Wrong: Run tiny buys expecting price to rise
Result: Buy count goes up, price stays flat
Right: Use large buys for actual price movement
Result: Green candles, rising chart
Mistake 3: Not Combining Strategies
Wrong: Only tiny buys OR only large buys
Result: Missing half the signal
Right: Combine both for buy count + chart pump
Result: Complete buying activity signal

Cost Calculator
Tiny Buys
Platform fee: [buys] × 0.0005 SOL
Buy cost: [buys] × 0.00001 SOL
Total: Platform + Buy cost
Example: 5,000 tiny buys
= (5,000 × 0.0005) + (5,000 × 0.00001)
= 2.5 + 0.05 = ~2.55 SOL
Large Buys
Platform fee: [buys] × 0.0005 SOL
Buy cost: [buys] × [amount per buy]
Total: Platform + Buy cost
Example: 100 buys × 0.15 SOL
= (100 × 0.0005) + (100 × 0.15)
= 0.05 + 15 = ~15.05 SOL
Summary
| Strategy | Amount | Cost/1000 | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Buys | 0.00001 SOL | ~0.5 SOL | Buy count, social proof |
| Large Buys | 0.05-0.25 SOL | ~50-250 SOL | Chart pump, green candles |
| Combined | Both | Varies | Maximum impact |
Bottom line: Tiny buys for social proof (cheap). Large buys for price pump (expensive). Combine for best results.
