Sometimes when you search for CA on Twitter, you will often see a bunch of bot accounts pushing a certain Golden Dog coin worth tens of thousands. Recently, I've added a few, studied them a bit, including some free ones that seem to be doing well. I won’t post pictures to avoid seeming like I'm bashing them. The principle is the same. They are all following some first-hand money that specifically buys low market caps of 'smart money'.
Actually, it is more appropriate to refer to this group as the 'Big Cut'. Because most of them only play with first-hand money. When you check these people's wallets, you’ll find Solana worth millions of dollars. They bought it when it was worth 20,000 to 30,000 USD. They have the funds and the strength to easily pull it to a market cap of tens of thousands. And those so-called free signals are just a reminder integrated with these people's addresses. They call it 'smart money'.
When these people buy in, regardless of whether the subsequent market will withdraw or not, the free signals will not filter and will still be sent out. So you will often find that what they just recommended at a market cap of 30,000 USD has suddenly turned into 5,000 USD. If you buy like this, you will lose everything in no time. Moreover, there’s another pitfall; free signals will tell you how many times you profited after capturing the signal. They never list how much you lost. And this profit is often very inflated.
Because theoretically, if the 'Big Cut' buys in first, then the coin price will inevitably rise, and the reaction time may only be 1 second. Those signals will all advertise themselves as very quick and agile. Indeed, they might only take 0.5 seconds from detection to sending out the signal. After the 'Big Cut' buys in, the signal quickly detects and sends out before the price rises. So if the 'Big Cut' buys at 30,000 USD, the signal might be sent out when it detects 35,000 USD. However, by the time you click to buy, it may have already tripled.
At this point, it results in the situation where the signal was sent at 35,000 USD, and you bought at 90,000 USD. Because a bunch of people following the signals came in, the coin price might quickly rise to 120,000. At this point, the 'Big Cuts' pull out. So the market cap suddenly drops to 5,000 USD, leaving you and a group of bag holders. However, in this situation, the signal website will tell you that from 35,000 to 120,000, the maximum profit was 3.4 times. Haha, ridiculous. 3.4 times, but you ended up losing everything.
There is only one possibility for you to make money, and that is if this is Golden Dog, at least you will have a significant increase after you get on board. In that case, those 'Big Cuts' will also gradually sell off; they are no longer in a hurry to retreat. So you will see some people profiting hundreds of times or even thousands of times on address scraping websites. Those are the 'Big Cuts' aside from the developers. They will also decide whether to run based on how good the narrative is and whether there’s a possibility of interaction with well-known KOLs.
However, some paid signal websites are slightly different. They have their own algorithms and scoring mechanisms. They use AI to help you filter out some options. They send signals when the market cap is relatively larger. Most of the time, they will allow you to profit a bit. But this all depends on whether the market conditions are good or not. For example, the market has been average these past few days, and most only yield 2 times. A while ago, when AI agents were in a FOMO frenzy, there would be one or two that made hundreds of times a day.
So, don't easily trust others telling you about free Golden Dog signal TG groups or Golden Dog signal websites that ask you to register. The vast majority are traps. Either they are issued too early with low market caps, or too late with high market caps. It's terrible; you will just be taking the fall. But can you really not make money using them? No. There are ways. You need to manually filter them. Treat them as your first filtering tool. You go through a second filtering yourself. This second filtering needs to be analyzed separately based on different situations.
The first situation, for example, is a coin in the AI application field. Then you need to quickly determine whether the developer has a clear relationship with the project. Check the Twitter link to see if the CA is clearly stated. Secondly, you should check whether this Twitter account has only recently started operating. If it has only tweeted for a few days, it’s very likely to run away. If it’s a well-known Twitter account or a verified account, and they have published the CA, then you should immediately put money in and buy. There’s another potential pitfall: Twitter accounts getting hacked. Recently, many Twitter accounts have been hacked. You need to discern this; if the project party has already mentioned they intend to issue coins, then it should be real. If the project party has never mentioned issuing coins or declared that they have no intention of doing so, and suddenly announces they will issue a coin and immediately does so, it’s highly likely they've been hacked. But this can also be a good opportunity; jump in immediately, double your investment, and when you see profits, quickly run. It’s just that the difficulty factor is a bit high. Not recommended.
The second situation is similar to the news narratives of squirrels or TikTok narratives. There is no project party, only the developer. So if the developer runs away, the CTO has left. The narrative is strong. If the front row is clean, you can mindlessly buy in. If there are funds, even better; if not, the funds will come sooner or later. Just wait a little and you’ll be fine. If you put in too much, the funds can open the market themselves.
Therefore, these signals must be paired with your own filtering to bring you money. If these signal software could make everyone rich instantly, then it would be too easy to make money in the market. These signals cannot be provided to you for free.
To support this, I paired it with a recent profit chart from two Golden Dogs I traded. The logic is as I mentioned above. I used the free signals. Once I sent it out, I searched and pushed it. I saw the California wildfires, and Trump said that it was the governor of California who wanted to protect a fish called smelt and would not divert water from the north, even if it meant making the people of California suffer. The narrative was fully loaded. Up to 100 times. Although I didn't take profits at the highest point because I didn't have good profit-taking tools.
Another is Smokey, the old California fire prevention mascot. Following the wildfires, it also had a surge. These free signals send out hundreds of signals a day, and I only bought less than 10, getting lucky with two. It all depends on my own filtering in the second stage. The reason I didn't share it on Binance Square is that it was really too fast; I didn’t have time to post. You could pull out a multiple in less than 5 seconds, and it could crash at any moment, so you must take profits or cut losses immediately. I can’t just get in and ask others to take my losses.
