About this desk
A KOL New Apes alert means a KOL wallet bought a token it had not held before.
Day to day, influencer calls move thin markets. Jid Loses Money watches KOL New Apes to separate calls that attract lasting holders from calls that attract a quick round trip.
Put simply, some KOLs buy before they post. Some buy after. Jid Loses Money reads KOL New Apes alongside wallet data to see the order of events.
Quick test: Find when the KOL's wallet bought compared with the time of the post. Watch holder count in the hour after the call; attention that does not turn into holders fades.

The rule behind this page. Jid Loses Money keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %

Those that passed had a median market cap of $2.16M, median liquidity of $295.5K and about 797 holders. 1 out of 18 alerts showed a pool smaller than a tenth of the cap — a warning sign on its own.
