Made a fortune trading newly listed pairs? Here's what I learned the hard way: those opportunities come with a catch. The liquidity trap, the pump-and-dump patterns, the sudden rugpulls—they're all waiting. If you've profited before, you know the odds aren't in your favor long-term. New pair trading isn't the goldmine it looks like on Twitter. It's a minefield masquerading as opportunity. Real talk: the people who actually made money from them often walk away knowing it's not sustainable.
