The Mallo Playbook

Mallo.trade is a paper-first memecoin terminal built on top of live pump.fun and Solana DEX data. It gives every trader a full-fidelity trading environment — same feeds, same latency, same market microstructure — without needing to bring real capital to the table.

Traders open an account, receive a virtual SOL balance, and immediately start executing paper orders against real-time token prices. Every fill, every position, every P&L tick reflects what the market is doing on-chain, right now.

When a trader proves consistency, Mallo graduates them onto a real funded Solana wallet — deployed by Mallo, stocked with real SOL, and split on the upside. That is the whole product in one line: practice on live data, get funded on real capital.

Memecoin markets reward preparation. The best traders on-chain didn't start with size — they started with reps, in flow, on live charts they could read like a language. Mallo exists to compress that runway.

Under the hood, Mallo is a low-latency market data router with a paper matching engine bolted onto it. Here's the flow:

1. 01
   Ingest

   We stream pump.fun launches, DEX pool creations, and Solana token metadata as they land on-chain. New markets appear in the Terminal seconds after mint.
2. 02
   Normalize

   Prices are unified across Birdeye, GeckoTerminal, Jupiter, and Raydium so every market has one canonical mid price and one canonical liquidity view.
3. 03
   Match

   Paper orders are matched against the live mid with realistic fee and slippage baked in, so the fills you see are the fills you would get with a real wallet.
4. 04
   Score

   Every fill flows into the leaderboard engine, which recomputes P&L, win rate, drawdown, and volume on every price tick.

The Pulse Terminal is where everything happens. It's the same three-column layout that professional Solana traders use: New Launches on the left, Momentum in the middle, Graduating on the right.

The Mallo Leaderboard is the ranking layer that turns paper trading into a merit system. We score four dimensions, weighted to reward consistency over lottery-ticket wins:

Leaderboards reset in seasons. Every season top performers unlock funded evaluation slots, and the season leader takes home a headline funded account.

The Mallo Funded Program is the entire point of paper trading on Mallo. Pass a two-stage evaluation and we deploy a real Solana wallet in your name, stocked with real SOL, ready to trade live markets.

1. 01
   Stage 1 — Prove edge

   Grow your paper account by the Stage 1 target while staying inside the drawdown envelope. This proves you can put together a green run without over-leveraging.
2. 02
   Stage 2 — Prove discipline

   Hit the Stage 2 target with a wider timeframe. This is the consistency check — same edge, more reps, cleaner curve.
3. 03
   Get keyed in

   Mallo deploys a live Solana wallet with real SOL. You trade the same markets you already know, with a rail we built for you.

Full sizing tiers, targets, and current evaluation cost are on the Funded page.

Mallo's split is one of the most trader-friendly in the on-chain funded space:

Profits are calculated on realized P&L (closed positions). Payouts hit your wallet in SOL. Mallo fronts the capital and the infrastructure — you focus on the tape.

1. 01
   Day 0 — Sign up

   Create an account. You get 10 virtual SOL and immediate access to the Terminal.
2. 02
   Day 1–14 — Build reps

   Trade every new launch that catches your eye. The goal is pattern recognition, not P&L yet.
3. 03
   Day 14–30 — Find your setup

   By this point you'll have a feel for one or two setups. Trade those repeatedly. Stack a clean curve on the leaderboard.
4. 04
   Day 30+ — Enter evaluation

   When your paper account is showing a consistent green curve, take the funded evaluation.
5. 05
   Funded

   Trade live capital. Keep 40%. Scale up as your funded account grows.

Mallo sits on top of the same Solana infrastructure that professional on-chain trading desks use. That means the skills you build here transfer directly to any wallet, any bot, any front-end you use later.

The leaderboard is the on-ramp to real capital, so it has to be clean. We are fully aware of bundled launches, wash flow, and the other tricks people try to farm a paper score with — and we actively monitor for all of them.

Every trader inside the top 100 of any active season is put through a manual review of their trade history before a funded slot is issued. We look at entries, exits, timing, token provenance, and correlated wallets on-chain. Nothing shady slips through.

The full anti-cheat policy, review process, and disqualification rules live on the Rules page. Read it before you push for a top-100 finish.

A real Solana wallet deployed by Mallo in the trader's name, stocked with real SOL.

Split

The 40% share of realized profits paid weekly to the funded trader.
