These were size plays, not quick flips. - **First Trade: Cloudbot** [01:42] — Cloudbot was going viral on Twitter. It had been dead at 20K market cap for a month, then jumped to 5M overnight. He saw this as bullish because most people hadn't seen it yet. - **Key Principle: Front-Running** [03:48] — The key to making money in meme coins is front-running the masses.

For Cloudbot, he held through a 50 SOL drawdown because he had conviction; otherwise, he would have cut at 10-20 SOL loss. - **Conclusion** [13:30] — He hopes to make more such trades and invites viewers to join his Telegram and follow his Twitter for coin calls. ### Conclusion The trader made $25,000 in one day by identifying viral narratives, front-running the masses, and holding with conviction while cutting losses quickly. He emphasizes that size plays and patience are key in the current meme coin market. ## Transcript Today I'm going to show you how I made $25,000 in one day trading meme coins. advice and it is purely for educational purposes only. So I'm going to be walking you guys through my thought process when I'm taking these trades. And uh hopefully you can learn something from this video and apply it in your own trading strategy. So, before we start, I know I'm on YouTube, so it also means that a lot of you watching might not be that familiar with meme coins. So, a too deep, this is a trading terminal right here. The place where you can buy but the one I use is Axiom. So, I'm going to leave my referral link in the description below if you guys do want to support my channel and use my link. So, what were the trades that I took that allowed me to make $25,000 in just one day? So, I'm going to be straight up with you guys. It was only three trades that I took. And it was not like a bunch of trades. It wasn't a bunch of scalps like you usually see, you know, from these uh trading edits these days where, you know, people quick buy a coin with 10 soul at 7K market cap and they quick buy it and, you know, they scalp it for like 20 soul profit and they're out in 10 seconds, right? this is not going to be uh that video because actually these trades that I took were a bit sort of like um more size plays and that's I've noticed that's been like the method these days to actually uh making these decent sort of gains of so let's just start right here what was the first trade that I did uh that made me most of my money actually so this coin right here claudebot right basically made 20k on this coin alone and that was just off this one trade right And it was a pretty straightforward trade. I woke up and I open Twitter. To be honest, I didn't even do anything crazy. I open Twitter and I see like every post is about Cloudbot, Cloudbot this, Cloudbot that, Cloudbot, right? And I remember that a month ago there was this Cloudbot. And know, like, let me see. You can see here it was pretty dead. Like 20K market cap for a month. And I remember like it went and it did something initially and I remember it went to like 200k and here it went back to 300k and I just thought to myself, let's just look this up because this is going absolutely viral. I see this all over my feed. I open the coin. I search it up in the search bar. I open the coin. I see it's, you know, it's at 5 mil and it's not at 5 mil over, I don't know, 2 weeks. It is at 5 mil overnight, right? You can see the time stamp here. 25th of January, 2:30 in the morning. It's at 500K, right? 300Kish the same day. And we can just extend this to the time I woke up when I started buying. Literally 6 hours later, it's at $5 million. This a 10x overnight. And that's just like in my eyes, that is very bullish. My thought process is that if the coin went to $5 million overnight, it means that most people actually haven't even seen this yet. You know, like different time zones and whatnot, most people have not seen this. This is freshly viral. people are freshly bidding this narrative. So even if I top blast at around four, five mil, 6 mil, that's still a good buy zone. That's that was my thinking process. Now it would have been very different if I saw this somewhere here or here, right? Cuz then you've already seen, you know, like a 24-hour period where a lot of people already saw this, a lot of people already were able to buy it, sell it, whatever. Now it becomes a little bit different. And the the key thing about memecoins, most money you're going to make is if you're able able to frontr run people. That's the key thing to making money in memecoins, frontr running like masses of people. And that was just like very very obvious to me that well if if it literally ran from 500k to $5 million off this, you know, whole trending narrative in like 6 7 hours or 8 hours or something, you know, like it it's just way too low. it's going to go higher. And that was my thinking process. I had conviction. I saw that this is viral. And also, not to mention, how high have we seen these tech coins go? You know, these tech coins. God, you know, like last cycle, they went 100 mil, 200 mil. Uh this cycle even they've went 50 mil, you know, 30 mil. Just a tech coin like of wait, this is at 5 mil. What? It can go 20, 30 mil, you know, let me buy, right? And I just start sizing it. So what did we do here? I bought 10 soul, 10 soul, 10 soul more. I just bought on the way up. Seven soul, seven soul. And I was just DCAing cuz I thought, you know what? If it just rips right away to 20 mil, and I'm not even going to get a dip. So I just wanted to at least get some skin in the game. And when it did dip, I bought way more here. How much did I buy here? Probably like 20 soul here as well. 40 here. I bought another 20 on this dip. I bought another probably 20ish. So I just DCA basically. And when it did start really candling and breaking out, I decided, you know what? What was my hold time for this coin? What was the whole time? Probably around 9 hours. In one day, I've turned, you know, I turned 150 soul buy into like something about 400 soul. That was like roughly speaking what I was holding here. And in my in my eyes, even if it goes to 20 mil, like it's just money on the table that I'm willing to secure right away. And that did end up being the top there. So, I sold around $40,000 here. And that was pretty much a $20,000 profit right here. You can see, and that was basically the biggest trade of the day. Also, I do want to mention, um, this is still pretty viral. It might even go higher, by the way. like I I sold because you know it's very hard to um especially for a trader like me like I'm you know I'm a new pairs trencher for the most part for my whole sort of meme coins trading journey. I've always been trading new pairs buying coins at 5k market cap. So this holding stuff you know I see a coin go up 2x with size I'm just going to take my money you know especially if it's within a day. Now, if this was sidelining for another two days it's like a really hard breakout, I I'd probably hold a little bit longer there. But this was like a, you know, very quick and easy sort of uh layup. So, that's how I saw this. But, um, this coin, it really does still have got rejected here, consolidated. It's going back up so far. Got rejected again. But, I don't know. Who knows? Maybe it just keeps ripping. Let's see. Let's see. I did call this out in my Telegram at five uh 5 mil when I bought it. And I think a lot of people who were in my Telegram who bought this also printed. So, this is a pretty pretty satisfying trade to say the least. So, enough yapping about this one. Moving on to the next trade. So, the pendulum, this is a very uh sort of interesting trade I did. Um, you can see I initially bought it right here for around five soul and I bought on some side wallets bit here. I did make $2,000 in the end on this trade. As you can see, around 20 soul, $2,500 to be precise. So, this is just a very interesting uh something I I I never saw before. Right now, we have the meta of the penguin, the Nichian Penguin. What's it at right now? Let's see. It's 86 mil. I mean, it's a it's a certified PvE runner, right? It's just up only almost hit 200 mil. Insane. It's absolutely insane, right? And um this meta is basically like a you know, this talking about this and it's uh it's very it's very much like a um it's like philosophy related. You know, the the guy's going away from the colony and whatnot. So, that's the sort of meta that we're in, right? And I see this pendulum and I know that there's like this pendulum thing that's also like a philosophical sort of uh thing, right? And I see this this guy is pushing it alone and he's talking about, you know, oh, I'm going to lock the supply. I'm going to do all this. And he does do it. He he literally locked like 50% of this. He bought and locked 50% of the supply and he did it over, you know, while it that at this point, it was already out because it was just not going right. fading this and then like a few hours later I see you know suddenly I see have a notification when something uh migrates right so it migrated right here uh pendulum coin so I instantly open it I I realize wait like this is just as good as before except now it's bonded people are probably going to get FOMO so I just top blasted right here blasted like what what is it blast like eight soul I blasted some more. Three more here. Eight more here cuz I really cap. It's probably going to go way higher, right? And uh I sold the side wallet and I rebought for soul here. So basically, I bought a total of something about like $4,000 or $3,000 at these levels and then it just started breaking out and uh I just took my money home like right away. Just decided that it's going to be best if I just take profits on this and uh not be a believer. That's you know, really bag holding. You see it like a decent profit, you take it these days. That's that's like that's the way I'm moving. And that's what's been working recently. And also what hasn't been working is like cheating too quick. days. You have to be able to hold, but you're you can't really be a believer just yet because these coins, they they're not going that high. you know, Penguin went really high, but these other coins, they still, you know, they still go 300K and then just fade out, you know, so still it's very important to take profits. Took like 2.5K profit here, 2.4K, and it's pretty much been down from there. So, I would say a pretty decent trade. And um another trade I did was bag. Once again, related with the whole uh narrative of Penguin, right? What's the what's the narrative here? So, I'm I'm always like scouting might just insta buy it or I might just quickly do research and buy it. That's exactly how I found this coin. And on this coin, I made also 2.5K, right? So, what was the thought process? This is a 30 secondond chart. So, basically within 30 seconds, I was in the coin at 40K market cap. I bought only six soul on this. Actually, only six soul. That's a very small buy actually for the trades that I'm doing these days at 40K especially. So yeah, I bought it right usually attached and I usually instantly saw that they're talking about the creator of the video of the penguin, right? Cuz there's this video of the penguin where he's walking away from the colony. The penguin's at $90 million market cap. The same creator made another video a while back which was about the journey of a plastic bag, right? It's just funny. It's just It blasted six soul and it worked out, you know. It worked out. We pretty much instantly went to 160K where I clipped out most of my profit. So, from my entry, that was a uh let me see. I was like a 4x for my entry. Bought six soul and I sold like most of it here. And then I left a small moon bag. I saw that it here, which was another six soul. So, I bought six soul, sold 26 sold. That's a 20 soul profit. And it's like 2.5K right here. Yeah, that's pretty much a total of 25K on the day plus some uh cash back, which you do also get on Axiom from your trading volume. So, if you do, you know, 100k volume, you might get back like a few thousand uh worth of, you know, cash back back to your wallet, right? because there is a fee that every trading terminal takes and Axiom does give you a cash back. So I did also obviously I did also take some uh losing trades but they were very insignificant and that's very important in this market. You should always like cut your losses quickly especially if it's a coin where you don't have conviction in. So Claude I did go into a pretty fat loss at one point. I was down around 50 soul here but I just knew that I have to hold because this is just freshly viral. There's no reason for me to sell. That's like conviction. But I would have not held I would have never held this through a 50 soul loss if I didn't really like have conviction in this. If this was just a gamble, I would pretty much not hold anything. I would just sell at a 20 soul loss maybe or 10 soul loss. I wouldn't hold it to through, you know, a 50 soul draw down. So yeah, all of my other losses pretty insignificant. And overall, I would say it's a pretty pretty successful day, especially because me personally, I haven't really been hitting these uh big trades recently. So, I'm hoping I can get back into, you know, making these making more of these trades like I did uh yesterday, what I just showed you you if you made it this far. And if you guys do want to see, you know, uh, what I post on Twitter or or, uh, if I call out any coins like this, you can join my Telegram. I'm going to leave the link in the description and you can also just follow my Twitter where I do also talk about these things sometimes. So yeah, pretty much that's going to be it. Thank you guys for watching and I'm going to see you guys in the next one. See you.
