How influencer Brez Scales went from a $132,000 losing week to one of the biggest single trades on fomo.
Four months ago, Brez Scales had never traded crypto in his life. No charts, no watchlists, no idea what a market cap even meant in practice. Like a lot of people, he'd just watched from the sidelines while everyone else seemed to be making money. So he decided to stop watching and actually put money in, on fomo, the social trading app where every entry, exit, and position is public and live for anyone to see.
It did not go well at first. At one point, he was down $132,000 in a single week. That's not a typo, and it's not a small dip, that's the kind of number that makes most people close the app and never open it again. A lot of traders would've called it there.
He didn't. He kept showing up, kept making trades, kept building a public track record even while it was ugly. And this week, that patience paid off in a way that's hard to script: one trade alone turned a $996 position into a six-figure win. It wasn't even his only big one.
The trade: Effective Accelerationism
On September 26, Brez Scales put $996 (basically the price of a nice used couch) into a token called Effective Accelerationism, at an average entry market cap of $116.3K. That's about as early as it gets. The token's market cap has since climbed to $18.3M, turning that $996 into a position worth roughly $109,500, an unrealized gain of +$108,497.31, up 10,897.70%. For context, that's turning less than a grand into more money than most people make in a year, off one trade.

Mid-trade, he left a note that says a lot about where his head was at: he'd add more to the position but didn't want to risk disturbing his own $100K entry. That's the moment a fun little bet turns into something you're genuinely careful with. A few weeks earlier, $996 was money he could afford to lose. Now it's a position he's protecting.
A second big winner: $PAID
Effective Accelerationism wasn't a one-off. Over the past week, Brez Scales also built a much bigger position in $PAID, investing $148,353.51 at an average entry market cap of $9.4M. This one wasn't a lottery ticket, it was a real, sized bet. $PAID's market cap has since risen to $38.1M, putting his position at $288,471.51, a gain of +$324,653.31 (+218.84%) in just 7 days.

Put the two trades side by side and you get a picture of how this actually works in practice: a small, early bet on a coin nobody's heard of, and a much larger, more deliberate one on a token that already had some traction. Different sizes, different risk levels, same trader, same week.
Where he stands now
Between those two trades, Brez Scales turned a rough, expensive start into one of the standout runs on fomo right now. He currently sits at No. 5 on the platform's leaderboard, with total profit of +$461,301.02, ahead of traders with far bigger followings and far longer track records.

The part worth sitting with is that none of this is a screenshot pulled from some private Discord or a claim you have to take on faith. Every number here, the entries, the exits, the running P&L, is public and verifiable on fomo, updated live as it happens. You don't have to trust Brez Scales' word for any of it. You can just watch.
The takeaway
The traders worth watching aren't always the ones who never lose. Sometimes they're the ones who kept their feed public through the losing week and were still there for the winning one.
