# Followed Dev Launches

> How to build strategies around new tokens launched by developers you follow.

Use this Trigger when your strategy should run based on the developer behind the launch.

## In the Strategy Editor

When you add this Trigger in **Step 2: Triggers**, the event type is:

* **Event Type**: `Newly Created Token From Followed Dev`

This Trigger uses the developer list you maintain in **Dev Tracking**.

Depending on your setup, you can use:

* all followed developers
* a subset of developers grouped by tag
* a specific wallet or developer target

## What it does

This Trigger runs when a followed developer launches a new token.

It is a creator-based source, not a broad market discovery source.

## Source selection: All followed devs vs subsets

### All followed devs

Use this when your followed dev list is already small and high quality.

### Tagged or specific dev selections

Use a subset when you want different strategy logic for different developer groups.

Examples:

* trusted devs
* experimental devs
* ecosystem-specific devs

This gives you more control than forcing one ruleset across every followed wallet.

### Example: trusted devs vs experimental devs

In **Dev Tracking**, you can organize followed developers into groups such as:

* `trusted-devs`
* `experimental-devs`
* `pump-native-devs`

Then you can build separate strategies around those groups.

For example:

* Strategy 1 uses the `trusted-devs` group with slightly looser Rules because the developer selection is already strong.
* Strategy 2 uses the `experimental-devs` group with much stricter Rules for liquidity, ownership, and socials.

This gives you cleaner signal separation than putting every followed developer into one trigger source.

## Why this improves strategy quality

Segmenting developers improves your strategy because you can:

* separate high-conviction devs from experimental ones
* give riskier dev groups stricter Rules
* test one developer segment without affecting the others
* reuse the same dev groups across multiple strategies

## Best way to use this Trigger

Use the Trigger to decide **whose launches matter**.

Use Rules to decide **which of those launches are still good enough**.

Example:

* Trigger on a `trusted-devs` group
* Then require liquidity, ownership checks, socials, and security filters

That keeps the strategy clear: source selection first, token filtering second.

## When to use it

Choose **Newly Created Token From Followed Dev** when your edge comes from developer selection and launch history, not from broad launch scanning or tweet activity.
