Meme Insider
If you're navigating the wild seas of meme token trading on Solana, you've probably felt the thrill of spotting a potential runner early. But what if you could amp up your game with a strategy that farms fees on both sides of the price action? Enter the Two-Sided Mixed BidAsk, a degen-level tactic shared by trader NAOJ (@NaojNc) in a recent thread that's got the community buzzing. This isn't your grandma's spot trading—it's double exposure, double farming, and yes, double the chaos.
NAOJ describes this as the "aggressive cousin" of standard mixed strategies. You load up on both tokens in the pair—typically SOL and your chosen meme token—and position yourself to capture insane upside, potentially +50-60% or more in a single cycle. But beware: when it flops, it flops hard. It's all about respecting the beast and knowing when to sail away.
Spotting the Right Moment: The Context
The magic happens when you catch a token with strong momentum, a tiny market cap, and volume pouring in like a tidal wave. That early "maybe-runner" vibe is key—think high-volatility meme coins that could explode but aren't guaranteed winners. NAOJ recommends this for high-binstep pools (like 125, 200, or 250 bins) on platforms like Meteora, where your position can stretch far in both directions: deep dumps on the SOL side and massive pumps on the token side.
What makes it shine? Even if the token fizzles, the SOL-side BidAsk cushions your losses, turning a potential red PnL into something more manageable. However, this is high-exposure territory. Active monitoring is crucial—keep an eye on pool dynamics via Metlex to ensure your pool stays dominant. If a better pool emerges with lower fees or denser liquidity, cut your position and rotate without hesitation.
This strat thrives on small-cap memes with massive early volume (NAOJ defines this as over 25-30k per minute). It's not for slow markets; it's built for intraday volatility where every tick means fees rolling in.
Building the Beast: Setup and Logic
Setting up a Two-Sided Mixed BidAsk is a hybrid affair, blending spot-style stability with aggressive BidAsk farming. Here's the breakdown:
First Deposit – Spot Style: Allocate 50% of your liquidity evenly across the entire range. This creates a balanced base curve, giving your position a neutral foundation.
Second Deposit – BidAsk Mode: Add the remaining 50% with a light touch near the top and heavier focus on lower bins. The result? A volatility-churning machine that farms trades whether the price surges or crashes.
This dual structure turns your liquidity into a "volatility turbine," as NAOJ puts it, compounding fees faster than a wide BidAsk alone. You're essentially betting on chaos, making it ideal for meme tokens known for their wild swings.
Why It Delivers Explosive Gains
The edge comes from being loaded on both sides: more trades hit your curve, fees stack up quicker, and big volatility spikes can deliver those +50-60% sessions. It's a step up from classic setups because it reduces early-buy risks—if the token dumps slowly, your SOL-side farming softens the blow.
But remember, this is degen trading at its core. Higher rewards mean higher risks, especially if liquidity shifts or the market cools. It's tailored for speed and turnover, not long holds.
Knowing When to Bail: Exit Strategies
This isn't a set-it-and-forget-it play—it's a live-session beast. NAOJ stresses exiting when:
- You're up big (+30-60%).
- Volume drops off.
- Volatility fades (watch that RSI flatten).
- A rival pool steals the show on Metlex.
- Your trading session ends—never leave it running overnight.
Cut clean, don't get greedy, and stay liquid. As one reply from @SolJourneyBR noted, it's "really degen," but worth trying with caution.
Key Takeaways from NAOJ's Thread
In the end, the Two-Sided Mixed BidAsk is NAOJ's most explosive tool: double everything, but with double the discipline required. "Some chase trends. Others chase tops. We farm both sides of the storm," he quips.
For meme token enthusiasts on Solana, this strategy could be a game-changer in volatile markets. Check out the full thread here for more details, including a live example video. If you're diving into DeFi liquidity farming, tools like Meteora's DLMM and Metlex are essential for staying ahead.
Stay sharp, sailors— the meme seas are rough, but the rewards can be legendary.
