High Risk / High Reward: My results after switching from manual crypto trading to a local CLI bot.

I know this sub is mostly about savings and ETFs, but I wanted to share the high-risk side of my portfolio.

**Context:** I trade memecoins on Solana. For months, I was losing money because I was trading manually on websites like Raydium. By the time I clicked "Swap", the bots had already front-run the price.

**The Change:** I stopped "gambling" against the UI and set up a local tool (**Shadow Nexus**) that executes trades via Jito bundles (bribing validators for speed).

**The Result (See Image):** Instead of panic-selling, the script executes entry and exit based on pre-set math.

* **ROI:** Consistent 50-100% gains on successful snipes.
* **Time:** 15 mins setup / day.

It's not for everyone (it's volatile as hell), but treating it like a software operation instead of a casino visit changed everything for me.

**Does anyone else here allocate a small % of their portfolio to high-frequency trading?**
