Listing Sniper

How it works

1. 01You set a budget, the quote currency (USD, USDT or USDC) and a trail %.
2. 02The loop waits for a new coin to start trading on your exchange.
3. 03It buys with your budget as soon as it sees the new market.
4. 04A stop trails below the highest price; the pullback sells, and the loop stops.

A Listing Sniper watches your exchange for a brand-new trading pair and buys it with your budget as soon as it sees the market open. From the fill, a stop trails a fixed % below the highest price seen. Unlike Trailing Stop, the trail may sell below your entry — on a market with no history, the trail is the downside guard. After its exit the loop stops; start it again to wait for the next listing.

The math, on paper

Budget $100, filled at the first print, $100

1.000 coin

Peak $150 → 7% trail

$139.50

Sold on the turn

+$39.50 gross

Modeled round-trip fees (0.02%/side)

≈ $0.05

Modeled net profit

≈ +$39.45

If it fades instead: peak $106 → trail $98.58

−$1.42 gross

New markets often open with wide spreads and thin order books; real fills can be well away from the chart.

Worked numbers assume 0.02% per side (the current Binance.US fallback schedule) and exclude spread and slippage. They are illustrations, not forecasts; fees vary by exchange and tier.

Best for

Traders who want exposure to day-one listings with one fixed budget and a rule for getting out.

When it struggles

Many listings spike and fade. Prices can gap, so a fill can land well below the trail. This is real money on a market with no price history.

Good to know

You confirm a risk acknowledgement before it starts. It spends only the budget you set, holds one position, and makes one exit. It cannot be simulated with made-up prices — a listing is an event, not a pattern — so there is no guest try-out for it.
