A bot that shorts crypto pumps on Binance futures
Snapback is a Binance futures bot. It watches the USDT-M futures market, spots a coin after a sharp price spike (a pump) and opens a short. Then the bot manages the trade itself: stop loss, a take-profit ladder and a breakeven stop.
What is a crypto pump and dump short bot?
A pump is a sharp jump in a coin's price over a short time, often driven by hype. The dump is the drop that frequently follows: buyers who got in lower take profits and the price falls back. Together this is known as a crypto pump and dump. Nothing guarantees a pullback after a spike, though. Sometimes the price just keeps climbing.
Snapback is a crypto pump and dump short bot. It shorts these spikes. A short is a trade on the price going down: you open a sell position and close it after the price has dropped. On Binance you can short crypto on USDT-M futures, and that is the only market this bot trades.
The bot does not predict the market. You set the rules: how far the price must rise, how fast, and which coins are allowed. The bot applies those rules without fatigue or emotion and protects each position with a stop loss right away. It is automated crypto trading on your settings, not a promise of results.
How the Binance futures bot shorts a pump: four steps
The market scanner finds a pump
A shared scanner watches Binance USDT-M coins and compares the price rise over a window (one hour, an hour and a half, or two hours) with the threshold in your bot's settings.
The signal passes the filters
The bot checks the coin's trading volume, your blacklist, whether the price sits at an all-time high, and whether a pullback from the peak has started. If a filter fails, there is no trade.
A limit order to enter
The bot places a limit sell order, at the top of the spike or slightly below it, depending on your settings. If it is not filled within the time you set, it is cancelled and no position is opened.
Protection: stop loss, take profits, breakeven stop
As soon as the order fills, the stop loss and up to three take-profit orders are placed on the exchange. After the take-profit you choose is hit, the stop can be moved to breakeven.
What is inside
Backtesting: check your settings on past data
A crypto backtesting tool built in: run a bot's settings over historical candles with the same logic that trades live. Backtest period: <b>365 days</b> of history.
Several bots with different settings
Create more than one bot and keep different approaches side by side: another pump threshold, other leverage, other take-profits. Each bot is switched on and off separately.
Limit entry instead of chasing the price
Entry is a limit order, which can be placed as a maker (post-only) order. It waits for its price, and if it is not filled within the waiting time, it is cancelled.
A take-profit ladder
Close a position in one, two or three take-profits and choose how the size is split. The rest of the position stays covered by the stop loss, which can optionally move to breakeven.
Risk limits
A daily loss limit, a pause on a coin after a trade, a cap on simultaneous trades and a cap on total margin. Once a limit is reached, no new entries are opened.
Telegram notifications
Get a Telegram message when the bot opens a position, places the stop and take-profits, moves the stop, or closes a trade, along with the reason.
Key and funds safety
An API key with no withdrawal rights
The service does not accept an API key that can withdraw funds. The bot can only trade futures. It cannot move money out of your account.
Keys are stored encrypted
Each key is encrypted separately (AES-256), and the encryption key is kept apart from the database. A database leak on its own does not expose your keys.
Your funds stay in your Binance account
Snapback does not accept or hold your money. The bot trades through your own account, and you can disconnect the key or switch the bot off at any moment.
Recovery after a failure
After a restart the bot checks with the exchange what is actually open and places protection where it is missing, instead of trusting its memory.
Honest talk about risk
Trading futures with leverage is risky: you can lose part or all of your funds. A pump may not reverse and can keep going up, and then your short closes at a loss on the stop.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. A backtest shows how settings behaved on history, but markets change. Snapback does not promise profit, and nothing on this site is financial advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is a crypto pump and dump?
A pump is a sharp jump in a coin's price in a short time. The dump is the fall that follows when some buyers take profits. The term also describes schemes where groups deliberately push up the price of small coins. Nothing guarantees a pullback after a pump: the price can keep rising.
How do you short crypto on Binance?
You short on futures: you open a sell position and close it after the price has dropped. If the price goes up instead, the position loses money, and leverage can make that loss large. That is why a stop loss and position size matter. Snapback opens such shorts automatically, following your rules.
What is a breakeven stop loss?
It means moving your stop loss to the entry price after the price has moved in your favor and a take-profit has been hit. After that, the rest of the position should not close at a loss. The downside: price can touch that stop and close the rest at no profit, and later take-profits never fill. In Snapback you choose after which take-profit the stop moves, and can account for fees.
Do crypto trading bots work?
A bot only follows your rules faster and without emotion. It cannot know the future, so profit is not guaranteed: losing streaks happen, and leverage adds risk. A bot is useful as a tool for discipline and automatic protection, not as a sure way to make money.
Can I test my settings on historical data first?
Yes, that is what backtesting is for: your settings are run over historical candles with the same logic as live trading. It helps you see how they behaved in the past, but it is not a forecast. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Is it safe to give a bot my exchange API key?
The service only accepts a key without withdrawal rights, so the bot can trade but cannot move money out. The key is stored encrypted. We also recommend restricting the key to specific IP addresses in your Binance settings. That lowers the risk but does not remove it.
What risk limits does the bot have?
You can set a daily loss limit, a pause on a coin after a trade, a maximum number of simultaneous trades and a maximum total margin. When a limit is reached, the bot opens no new trades. Limits reduce risk but do not remove it.
Is profit guaranteed?
No. Nobody can guarantee profit in a market. Futures with leverage are risky, and you can lose your funds. Snapback is an automation tool, not financial advice and not a promise of results.
