Most traders get rekt chasing pumps. I do the opposite.
I turned $200 into $20K in a month by shorting tokens at TGE—one of the easiest and most predictable ways to print money in crypto.
99% won’t take action. The 1% who do? They’ll cash in big.
Here’s exactly how to do it.
Why Shorting at TGE Works
Every month, tons of tokens launch and unlock—but most traders ignore one simple fact:
➡️ Market Makers pump the price pre-listing
➡️ Claim opens → Airdrop hunters dump instantly
➡️ Demand vanishes → Price nukes
This is free money if you know where to look.
How to Find the Best Short Setups
1️⃣ Airdrop Tokens
Track upcoming airdrops from public sources
Key factor: When do users receive tokens?
If claims open first, CEX listing second → short hard
2️⃣ Token Unlocks
These are forced sell events
Find unlock schedules here → cryptorank.io/token-unlock
Look for: Unlocks over 5% supply or $2M+ in value
3️⃣ CEX Events (Launchpool, ICOs, etc.)
If an exchange airdrops $3M+ worth of tokens → price is gonna tank
How to Short Like a Pro
✔️ Find upcoming unlocks/drops
✔️ Check distribution & listing dates
✔️ Wait 2-3 mins after listing → enter short
✔️ Use reasonable leverage (up to 30x, no apeing)
✔️ Target high-volume CEX listings (Binance)
Final Tip : Don’t Be Stupid & ignorant
This isn’t financial advice. Shorting is high risk.
If you don’t manage risk, you’ll get liquidated.
But if you do it right? You print money while everyone else holds bags.
