# best axiom pulse filters (2026): a setup to copy

There's no permanent best filter setup on Axiom. Launchpads rotate, metas change and early-launch numbers can misread, so a setup that works this month can hide the wrong coins next month. A usable start, from Luke Giroud's September setup: leave New Pairs unfiltered, cap top 10, snipers, insiders and bundle at 40% on Final Stretch and Migrated, and set a market cap floor. Then change one thing a week and look at what got through and what got hidden.

## a starting setup, column by column

Luke Giroud walked through this setup on his YouTube channel in September 2026. It's one trader's starting point to tune, not a winning formula. What each column holds: [new pairs, final stretch and migrated](/axiom/new-pairs/).

| | New Pairs | Final Stretch | Migrated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protocols | Pump, plus the trending one | Pump, plus the trending one | Pump, plus the trending one |
| Age | empty | 120 minutes | 12 hours |
| Top 10, Snipers, Insiders, Bundle % | empty | Max 40% | Max 40% |
| Dev Holding % | empty | empty | empty |
| Market Cap ($) | empty | Min $8,500 | Min $12,000 |
| Global Fees Paid (SOL) | empty | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Socials | none | none | none |

Why it's set that way:

- **New Pairs stays open.** On a coin that's only just launched, bundle and sniper figures can read wrong, so he leaves Audit and $ Metrics empty. "This is your unfiltered section." You see everything that comes out.
- **Pump plus whatever's trending.** Pump is the protocol he always keeps. Next to it he ticks whichever launchpad is trending, and switches it off once it fades.
- **The 40% caps are loose on purpose.** His reason: early on, Axiom can count plain early buyers as snipers. He caps at 40% and does his own checks on what's left.
- **Dev Holding % stays empty**, because dev holdings shift with the narrative.
- **Age.** He gives 120 minutes for Final Stretch and 12 hours for Migrated without naming the box. The Age boxes are in minutes, so 12 hours is 720. Max keeps coins younger than that; Min keeps older ones.
- **Global Fees Paid.** He reads a chart that's high with very low global fees paid as artificial, so the 0.2 works as a floor.
- **Socials.** He ticks none. Twitter or At Least One Social is the option if you want one.

When he sits down he also hides every token already sitting in Final Stretch, and he uses blacklist dev so a developer's coins never show again.

## what other traders run

Put a few well-known traders' setups side by side and they don't agree:

| Trader | New Pairs | Final Stretch | Migrated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orangie, on stream, Sep 2025 | 7 minutes age, 9 holders minimum, 8K market cap, 0.1 SOL global fees paid | | |
| Insentos, Sep 2026 | Pump plus the trending launchpad, $50 minimum volume, nothing on Audit | | |
| Dvces, on stream, Sep 2026 | Pump plus the trending launchpad, 220 minimum volume | min volume 5,000, min market cap 10,000, max age 60 minutes | no filters |
| Kreo, Aug 2026 | | 30 minutes, 7K market cap, 0.5 fees | 5K market cap, 0.1, no age limit |
| Luke Giroud, Sep 2026 | nothing | the setup above | the setup above |

Empty cells are ones they didn't give.

- **Most of them put a floor on activity.** Orangie wanted the newest pairs "actually getting some volume". Insentos calls minimum volume the most important New Pairs filter, because 99.9% of new coins never get a single buy. Dvces sets a volume floor to drop spam deploys.
- **They split on New Pairs.** Luke leaves it open; the others filter it.
- **They split on Migrated.** Dvces leaves it open to catch coins that bond fast. Kreo skips the age limit so an old coin that starts running still shows.
- **Protocols moved.** Kreo's August list was Pump, Bonk, Raydium and maybe Bags. By mid to late September, Luke, Dvces and Insentos had each swapped those for Pump plus the one launchpad trending that month.

Orangie's setup is a year old, and that's the point: it was right for its moment. Take the idea behind each number, not the number.

## setting it on axiom

1. On Pulse, click the filters button in a column's header. Its label names the column, like "Open Final Stretch filters".
2. The Pulse Filters panel opens. Pick the column's tab: New Pairs, Final Stretch or Migrated.
3. Add words to Search Keywords or Exclude Keywords if you want them, comma-separated.
4. Go through the four sub-tabs: tick what you want, and type values into the Min and Max boxes.
5. Open the next column's tab and do the same.
6. Click Apply All, then look at each column to check it took.

What's on each sub-tab:

- **Protocols**: Select All, then launchpads including Pump, Mayhem, Bags, Bonk, Bonkers, Printr, Liquid, Surge, Soar, Moonshot, Heaven, Daos.fun, Candle, Sugar, Believe, Jupiter Studio, Moonit, Boop, LaunchLab and Dynamic BC, with more under Show more. Quote Tokens sits on the same tab: SOL, USDC, USD1, STOCK and OTHER, with Unselect All.
- **Audit**: Min and Max boxes for Recent Visitors, Age, Top 10 Holders %, Dev Holding %, Snipers %, Insiders %, Bundle %, Holders, Pro Traders, Image Reuse, Dev Migrations, Dev Pairs Created, Dev Migrations % and Min Launches.

- **Socials**: Community, Dex Paid, Twitter, Website, Telegram, TikTok, At Least One Social, Only Pump Live, X profile only, No X link, and Only X, no other links. Then an Include Twitter Handles box that takes up to 10 handles, comma separated. Then Axiom Community Members, Twitter Followers, Twitter Following, X Reuses, Hide reused X, Above, X Renames and Tweet Age.

## what each filter screens out

The holder filters sit on Audit. Axiom's definitions:

- **Top 10 Holders %**: the share of supply in the top 10 wallets. Lower means more spread out.
- **Dev Holding %**: the share held by developers. A Max screens out coins where the dev holds a lot.
- **Snipers %**: the share held by early buyers. A high reading may mean bots.
- **Insiders %**: the share held by insiders, meaning private sales and team members. Axiom ties it to pump-and-dump risk.
- **Bundle %**: the share of supply in bundle wallets.
- **Pro Traders**: the share of experienced traders holding or trading the coin.
- **Holders** counts unique wallets. **Age** is in minutes.

On $ Metrics, Liquidity ($), Volume ($), Market Cap ($), Txns, Num Buys and Num Sells are sizes and counts. A Min screens out coins too small or too quiet; a Max screens out coins past where you'd enter.

The newer ones carry a label and no definition: Recent Visitors, Image Reuse, Dev Migrations, Dev Pairs Created, Dev Migrations %, Min Launches, B. curve %, Global Fees Paid, X Reuses and X Renames. Luke's reading of Global Fees Paid is above. Test the rest on coins you know before you lean on them.

## why the best filters keep changing

Orangie's take, on his channel Orangie Web3, in his video on Brez Scales: much of the memecoin game is "trying to filter out all the slop". Coins launch every second and most of them rug. Filters are how you do that at speed. What counts as slop keeps moving, though:

- **Launchpads rotate.** Luke says Bonk or Bags used to be worth ticking, and he expects to drop the one he added in September. Pump stays on top while other protocols trend and fade. In Orangie's Brez video the trade came down to conviction in a new launchpad, Paid, which sends a token's creator fees to someone's X Money. A Protocols list ticked for last month's launchpads can hide this month's.
- **Metas change.** Orangie names AI coins, political coins, creator coins and Elon Musk tweets as metas this year, and says the skill is meta and pattern recognition. Luke puts it as: watch his video three weeks later and it could be a whole different meta. A market cap floor or age window that suits one meta can screen out the next.
- **Early numbers misread.** Bundle and sniper figures on fresh coins can read wrong, which is why Luke keeps New Pairs open and his caps loose.
- **Dev holding moves with the narrative**, which is why he leaves it empty.

Orangie also stopped staring at new pairs all day. He burnt out doing it, and noticed many of the best traders don't watch new pairs around the clock. A setup you trust is what lets you step back from the feed.

Luke opens Discover first when he sits down, to see what's been trending over the last day or hours. Discover's Radar tab lists venues with their status, when each was first seen, and their tokens, traders and volume over 24h. What the market is paying attention to right now: [metas on axiom](/axiom/metas/).

## a weekly routine to test your setup

1. **Write it down.** Each column's ticks and Min and Max values, with the date.
2. **Check the week's meta.** Open Discover's Trending, Top and Radar tabs. Note any launchpad there that isn't ticked in your Protocols.
3. **Change one thing.** One value, on one column. Change two at once and you can't tell which one did the work.
4. **Look at what got through.** Scroll the filtered column. Coins you'd never touch mean a filter is too loose.
5. **Look at what got hidden.** Take coins that moved this week on Discover, open them, and hold their numbers against your Min and Max. If good ones would have been screened out, a filter is too tight. An unfiltered New Pairs gives you the full feed to compare against.
6. **Keep notes.** The date, the change, what got through, what got hidden, keep or revert. A few weeks of notes tell you more than any one setup video.

Keep your buy size the same while you test, an amount you're comfortable losing, as Orangie puts it in the Brez video. Otherwise you're testing two things at once.

## what filters don't do

Filters sort the feed. They don't make a coin safe. Luke says it plainly: filters won't turn every coin you look at into a winner or rule out a rug pull, but they clear out most of the garbage.

Whatever gets through, open the token and read its holders, bundles and dev before you buy: [how to read bundles, snipers, insiders and dev hold](/axiom/token-metrics/). The same goes for anyone's setup, this one included. Orangie's line: "never copy anyone blindly." Start from a setup, then make it yours with the routine above.

## related questions

- **What is Pulse on Axiom?** Axiom's live feed of new tokens in three columns: New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated. Every chain you leave switched on feeds the same columns, so one column mixes SOL, ETH, BNB, HYPE and USDC quotes. It is the second item in the top nav, after Discover.
- **I swapped on Axiom and the token is gone** Check the tx on a Solana explorer first. Destination address and mint are the ground truth. Then enable that mint in the wallet. Do not swap again to find it.
