How to enter a crypto meme trade #
To see the current price of meme coins and your unrealized PnL, you need to get a free API key from birdeye.so. Follow the instructions here to get your API key.
Once completed, enter this key under Settings by going to the top menu under Trading Journal > Settings > Edit Memecoin API Key.

To enter a trade, follow these mandatory steps:
- Enter a valid ticker.
- Enter the official coin address.
- Select if it’s a buy or sell.
- Enter the date of the transaction.
- Enter the price you paid or sold for each quantity.
- Enter the quantity.
When you enter the quantity, the sheet will create the position and display it in the Crypto Dashboard. A message will notify you to wait while the dashboard updates. The dashboard displays all your crypto positions, with each position showing the combined result of all trades for a specific cryptocurrency, whether it’s from a single trade or multiple transactions over time.

Once it disappears, that confirms the trade has been successfully recorded in the Crypto Dashboard.
When you decide to sell all your quantity for a specific ticker, the following events will occur in the journal.
- The ticker’s bold font will be removed.
- The current price will be removed.
- The unrealized PnL in $ and % will be removed.
How to filter by status or ticker #
If you wish to see only the trades that are still open, you can use the “Filter By” option at the top and select the status “Open.”

How to delete a trade #
To delete a trade, select the row number from the dropdown under “Delete Trade.” Once selected, it will delete the selected row in the Crypto Meme Journal. If it is the only trade within that position, it will also delete the position in the Crypto Dashboard.

IMPORTANT: Do not right-click on a row to delete it, as this will not update the Crypto Dashboard.
