Reading the Graduated lane
A Graduated alert means a token has just completed its bonding curve and now trades in an open pool.
Curly Curry Calls watches the launch lane because most failed tokens fail there. The Graduated channel is its raw input; the checks below are the filter.
As a rule, launch-stage tokens change fastest. Liquidity is thin, holders are few and one wallet can move the chart. Curly Curry Calls reads each Graduated alert as a starting point for checks, never as a verdict.
One habit: Compare market cap with liquidity. A small pool under a large cap means a thin exit. Look at the holder count trend over the first hour; a flat count with rising volume points to wash trading.

A ten-minute check
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
- Look for bundled launch buys: several wallets buying in the same block.
- Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size.
- See whether other Empire channels alerted the same contract and when.
- Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet.
- Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window.

The filter
The rule behind this page. Curly Curry Calls keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 100 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
At build time the lane held 48 recent alerts covering about 7 hours; 19 of them cleared the screen. The passing group sat at a median $59.0K cap with $19.7K in the pool and roughly 263 holders. 8 of the 48 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 20 %.
