How to Check a KOL's Track Record Before You Follow a Call

A caller posts a contract with a rocket and a chart. Within a minute the replies fill up with people who bought. The one question nobody in those replies asked is the only one that matters: what happened to the last twenty coins this account posted?

You can answer that in about two minutes. This lesson walks through the Influencer Track Record Checker at pumppill.org/shillers, what each part of the result means, and what to do with it.

What the checker does

Type any X handle into the box at /shillers and press the button. PumpPill then does four things:

1. Reads the account's posts. It goes through the account's recent posts on X.
2. Finds every contract it called. A call is a post that contains a contract address. A ticker alone is not a call, because one ticker can belong to five different coins.
3. Grades each call from the moment of the post. The starting price is the price when the post went up, not the price when the coin launched. That is the price a follower could actually have bought at.
4. Gives a verdict. Delivers, Mixed or Avoid, with a one-line reason, written as "if you had followed them".

The whole read takes about two minutes. You do not stare at a spinner while it runs. The screen shows the posts as they are read, the coins as they are found, and the grades as they land, so you can start reading the record before it is finished. If you would rather not wait, you can leave the page and come back.

When it is done, the account gets a report card with its own link. You can paste that link in a group chat or a reply, and it shows the verdict in the preview.

The five things each call is graded on

Every coin in the record has a row. Each row answers five questions, all measured from the price at the moment of the post.

• Peak after. The highest the coin went after the post. This is the best case: what you could have sold at if you had sold perfectly.
• Now. The price today against the price at the post. This is what a follower who bought and held still has.
• A week later. The price seven days after the post. Most followers neither sell the top nor hold forever. A week is closer to what a normal follower actually got.
• Late. Whether the coin had already run 5x or more before the post. More on this below, because it is the most important flag on the page.
• Dead. Whether the coin's pool is dead, meaning there is no longer anyone to sell to.

The gap between "peak after" and "a week later" tells you a lot. A caller whose coins spike and then collapse within hours can show impressive peaks and still leave followers holding losses.

What "already ran 5x before the post" means

Some calls are not calls at all. They are exits.

Picture it from the caller's side. They buy a coin early, quietly. It runs five times. Now they post it to their followers with "this one is just getting started". The followers buy. Their buying is what lets the caller sell at the top. In trading terms, the followers are the exit liquidity: the buyers someone needs in order to get out.

The checker marks those rows "late, up 5x before" in red. One late call can be bad timing. A record with many of them is a pattern, and the pattern is that the account is posting coins after it has already made its money on them.

When you open a report card, look at the count of late calls before you look at anything else.

How to read the verdict

The verdict sums up the record as one word.

• Delivers. A follower who bought at the post would have had real chances to make money on a meaningful share of these calls. These are rare. Our report on 1,585 callers found most accounts never get there.
• Avoid. A follower would mostly have lost. The reason line usually says why: many late calls, many dead pools, or coins that were lower a week later.
• Mixed. Somewhere between. Some calls ran, many did not.

The reason line under the verdict matters as much as the word. "Mixed, most calls were late" and "Mixed, a few big runs, most coins faded within a week" are very different accounts.

What to do with a Mixed caller

Most active callers land in Mixed. That does not mean ignore them. It means do not follow them blindly. A few ways to use one:

1. Treat the call as a lead, not a signal. The post tells you a coin exists and someone is talking about it. Run the coin through the rug pull checker before anything else, and confirm you can sell it.
2. Check how much it ran before the post. If it is already up several times from where it started, you are likely the late buyer.
3. Look at "a week later", not "peak after". If the caller's coins usually give back their gains within days, plan to take profit early or not at all.
4. Size small. A Mixed record says some of these will go to zero. Size each trade as if this one might.

The same logic applies to Telegram groups. Our lesson on how to judge a crypto call channel covers that side.

Follow a caller in Telegram

Premium members can follow a caller in Telegram. When that account posts its next contract, the alert arrives with the account's record attached and how many minutes ago the post went up. You decide with the record in front of you, instead of after the coin has already moved.

What the checker does not tell you

A record is history. A caller with a good record can post a bad coin tomorrow, and a caller with a poor record can post a runner. The record changes the odds you start from. It does not decide the trade.

Prices are read from the coin's own pools, and a post we did not see is not in the record. A low score is a description of what following the account would have done, not an accusation.

Try it

Pick the last account whose call you bought. Type its handle at pumppill.org/shillers, watch the posts and grades come in, and read three things in order: the late count, the "a week later" column, and the verdict's reason line. Then decide whether you still want their next call.
