Brand new tokens hit exchanges and often pump 30-100% in the first hour as everyone rushes in. This bot listens to listing announcements and tries to be among the first orders, then exits quickly via a take-profit ladder. The window is short - minutes to hours, not days.
How it works
Exchanges typically announce new listings 12-48 hours in advance. The bot monitors official announcement channels and listing API endpoints across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin, and MEXC. The moment a listing goes live, the bot fires a buy within ~0.1-0.3 seconds, then manages exits via a tiered take-profit ladder and a tight stop-loss. Speed and exit discipline are everything - holding past the first hour is usually punished.

Strategy profile
A snapshot of how this strategy behaves and who it suits, not a forecast of returns.
These are designer assessments of strategy character, not user-specific performance figures.
The "Binance effect" has reversed. Earlier studies showed +41% day-1 gains; recent data shows ~+2.78% day-1 and ~-37.64% after 6 months. 98% of new Binance listings now dump after the initial pump, and 37% never recover their listing-day price. HODLing is brutal - you must exit fast. Quick TPs and tight stops are mandatory. If you hold past the first hour, you are often holding a falling knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick glossary
Definitions for the trading terms used on this page.
- Backtest
- A simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical price data. Past results never guarantee future returns - markets change.
- Slippage
- The difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get when an order fills. Worse on illiquid pairs and during fast markets.
- Spread
- The gap between the best buy price (bid) and the best sell price (ask). Tight spreads = liquid market, wider spreads = more cost per round trip.
- Stop-loss
- An automatic exit order that closes a losing position when price hits a chosen threshold. Caps how much one bad trade can hurt you.
- Take-profit
- An automatic exit order that closes a winning position once price reaches a chosen target. Locks in gains without relying on you to watch the chart.
- Volatility
- How sharply price moves. High volatility = bigger swings in both directions, which means more opportunity but also more drawdown risk.
