| LARGE / WHALE | order of $5k+ / $25k+ (airdrops and plants never count) |
| FIRST BUY | the wallet's first buy of this token, shown only for ranked or lead-alpha wallets or the token's first tracked buy |
| +80% · 3.2x late | price of this fill vs the first tracked buy of the token in the last 7 days; 3x+ is 'late' |
| ×airdrop / ×plant / ×spoof | token was pushed into the wallet, not bought: a batch airdrop, a plant into several tracked wallets, or an airdrop marked at a fake price |
| ×xfer / ×gift | a transfer, not a swap; gift = one tx delivered the token to 3+ tracked wallets |
| free bag | a sell of tokens the wallet never bought (airdropped) |
| no sell | 8+ buys and at most 1 sell on record: untradeable or a honeypot in waiting |
| ⛔ HONEYPOT | a simulated transfer from a real holder reverts right now, or the bytecode carries a sell-block; nobody can exit |
| ⛔ VANISH | a holder's balance disappeared without a sell |
| ☠ deployer | the launcher's previous tokens included a honeypot or several rugs |
| ⚠ synced buys | 3+ tracked wallets 'first-bought' within 3 minutes at near-identical size: one operator, many names |
| ⚠ empty pool | under $2k of real cash in the pool behind a big headline liquidity or mcap; any sell goes to zero |
| ⚠ copycat / ↗ DERIVATIVE | ticker mimics a token trending in the last 24h; DERIVATIVE = the original is running now and the copy is young with real liquidity (a 20-60 min play) |
| 📰 EVENT | token name matches a breaking headline from the event radar |
| ⚠ flipper | the owner has switched a sell restriction on and off before |
| STOCK | a tokenized stock, not a memecoin |
| dim rows | not a real buy (airdrop, plant, gift) — kept for context, excluded from P/L |
| ×4 on size | the same wallet's fills in the same token within 2 minutes, merged |
