# Quickstart

From a trending token to a shortlist of Solana wallets in 15 minutes: two bot commands, Data Import, a filter preset, Wallet Deep Dive and your first Watchlist.

This walkthrough takes you from an empty screen to a shortlist of wallets worth a closer look, on Solana, in about 15 minutes\. You will use two bot commands to find candidates, the Web App to filter them, and Wallet Deep Dive to check the ones that stand out\.

## Before you start

You need three things:

1. An active subscription\. See [Buy and activate access](/buy-and-activate) if you do not have one yet\.
2. Your access verified with the `/verify` command in a direct message with the **Wallet Master\+** bot\.
3. The Web App open at [app\.walletmaster\.tools](https://app.walletmaster.tools), logged in with Discord\.

> [!WARNING]
> Commands only work in that direct message, not in server channels\.

## Six steps to your first shortlist

1. ### Find tokens that are moving
   In your direct message with the bot, run `/trendingtokens`\. Pick a short interval, an hour is a good start, and the type `recent` to focus on tokens created recently\. The bot returns a text file with one token address per line\.
   You do not need all of them\. Five to ten tokens are plenty for a first run\.
2. ### Pull the wallets that traded them best
   Run `/toptraders` and paste the token addresses from step 1, one per line\. The bot works out the realized profit of every wallet that traded each token and returns the best ones as a text file per token, one wallet address per line\. Set `combine` to true if you want a single file with all of them\.
   This file is your candidate list\. Depending on the tokens, expect a few hundred to a few thousand wallets\.
   > [!TIP]
   > Prefer a spreadsheet? Run `/pnlplus` on the same list instead and you get a CSV with every metric per wallet, up to 100,000 wallets per run\. The Web App is the easier place to read it, so this guide continues there\.
3. ### Import the list into the Web App
   1. In the Web App, open **Data Import** from the sidebar and click **Create Data Import**\.
   2. Give the list a name you will recognise tomorrow, for example the date and the interval you used\.
   3. Drop in the text file from step 2\. One address per line, nothing else on the line\. A CSV works too if it has a column called `address` or `wallet`\.
   4. Click **Create Data Import**\. The list shows as **Processing** while every wallet is analysed, then flips to **Completed**\. A list of a few thousand wallets takes a couple of minutes\.
   5. Click the list name to open it\.
   Every wallet is now a row, and every metric is a column you can sort and filter\.
4. ### Filter down to a shortlist
   A few thousand rows is not a shortlist yet\. Set filters on the columns that matter to you and let the table do the work:
   - Open the filter on a column header, type a range, click **Filter**\. Start with win rate over the last 7 days and profit over the last 7 days, then add a holding\-time range that matches how you trade\.
   - Sort by the column you care about most by clicking its header\.
   - Switch on **Hide blacklisted** at the bottom of the table to drop wallets you have already ruled out\.
   When the table shows the kind of wallets you want, save the setup so you never build it again:
   - **Filtering and Sorting** at the top of the table, then **Save as Preset**\. Name it after the thesis, for example "consistent 7d"\.
   - **Columns preset**, then **Customize Columns** to show the columns you read and hide the rest\. Save that as a preset too, and **Set as Default** if it is the view you want every time\.
   Twenty to fifty wallets is a good shortlist to take into the next step\.
5. ### Check one wallet before you follow it
   Click the arrow at the end of a row to open the wallet in **Wallet Deep Dive**\. Switch between **1d**, **7d** and **30d** at the top to see whether the numbers hold across timeframes, then read down:
   - The top cards for profit, win rate and ROI, and the realized profit chart under them\.
   - **Distribution**, to see whether the profit came from a few big wins or many small ones\.
   - **Activity** for the full list of buys and sells, and **Recent PnL** for the result per token\.
   Then paste the same address into **Copy Trader Checker**\. It shows you the **Master Wallet** and the **Copy Traders** around it and highlights where your wallet sits\. If the wallet you are looking at is one of the copy traders, follow the master instead\.
6. ### Keep the ones worth following
   On the Deep Dive page, click **Add to Watchlist** and pick a list, or create a new one\. Use the pencil next to the address to give the wallet a name you will recognise; that name shows everywhere in the app\. Open **Watchlist** from the sidebar any time to see how your wallets did over the last day, week or month\.

## Keep your list fresh

> [!TIP]
> Wallet Master recomputes its data every hour\. To refresh a list, click the two\-arrows icon next to it in Data Import\. To find new candidates, run steps 1 and 2 again tomorrow with a new interval and add the wallets to the same list with **Import Wallets**, or start a new list and compare\.

## What to try next

### [Wallet Database](/wallet-database)

Skip steps 1 to 3 entirely on the Wallet Database \+ API plan: set the same filters and search every active wallet on Solana in one query\.
### [Token Creators](/token-creators)

Build a deployer whitelist for your trading bot\.
### [Discord bot commands](/discord-bot)

What every command does, what it takes in and what it returns\.
### [Metrics and calculations](/metrics)

How profit is calculated and what every metric means\. Subscribers only\.

Happy wallet hunting\.
