# Create an algo tokenslice

Navigate to the [**tokenslices page**](https://app.slicer.xyz/tokenslices) from the left sidebar. Click the New tokenslice button to open the slice editor. Make sure **Algo** is selected at the top-right.

### Adding filters

Let's make a slice that picks up **new, small-cap tokens with new buyers** on Base. We'll do this by adding filters that narrow down the universe of all tokens to just the ones that meet our criteria.

* First, use the **New Filter** dropdown to navigate to **Basic** filters and find **Token Age**. Use the dropdown to set a maximum age of one month, and leave minimum age empty. This will find tokens that are less than a month old.\

* Click **Add Filter**. Use the dropdown to find **Basic** filters again and click **FDV**, or [fully-diluted valuation](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/advanced-trading/what-is-a-fully-diluted-valuation-fdv-in-crypto). Set the maximum FDV to $100K. We'll set the minimum to $10K to exclude micro-caps.
* Click **Add Filter** again. Use the dropdown and go to **Holders**, then **Active Traders**. Select the **New first-time holders** metric. This metric has a time range in addition to min and max values. Set the minimum to 20 and the time range to 1 day. This will give us tokens that have been bought *for the first time* by at least 20 wallets in the last day. This is a good indicator that awareness of a token is spreading, and people are buying for the first time who have never bought the token before.
* Finally, click **Add Filter** and use the **Chains** filter to select Base. Now we'll only see tokens on the Base chain.
* Click the **Info** tab at the top of the filters panel and give your tokenslice a name, like "New launches picking up steam." Then click Done at the bottom of the panel.
* Click **Save Tokenslice** at the top of the screen to save your slice. You can return to it anytime from the [tokenslices page](https://app.slicer.xyz/tokenslices).

The more filters you add, the more powerful your algo tokenslice can become. Experiment with different filters to refine, optimize, and enhance your strategy.
