This verdict is about the strategy as published, not about the person who shared it.

The claim

Here’s what the strategy promises, in its own terms.

Follow the wallets of streamers who are provably profitable and mirror their buys and sells.

How we tested it

Same six checks as everything else here: random entries, coin flips, a look-ahead audit, unseen years, double costs and a luck check. How we test →

What we found

We vetted 50 streamers on-chain (about 1 in 5 was actually profitable) and then paper-copied six profitable wallets for a day using the free public Solana feed, with real fees, five different exit rules and a random-coin control. All five rules lost, and lost worse than random on some. On the very same coins the streamers made money and our copies lost, because we bought about 30% higher and sold about 9% lower, two seconds behind them. Their edge is the first-minute exit and their audience buying after them.

• Profit factor: money won divided by money lost. Below 1.0 loses money. Around 1.0 is break-even.
• R-multiple: profit or loss measured in units of the amount risked per trade. +1R means you made what you risked.
• vs random: how the strategy did against the same trades with random entries.
