PIPPIN has really been stagnating lately, neither falling nor rising, just quietly oscillating. To be honest, I just wanted to earn some profit from funding fees, but I ended up holding for almost two days. The good news is that the funding fees did indeed bring in 2,000 USDT, but the bad news is that overall I'm still at a loss, about a few hundred USDT.

However, I later came up with an idea—rather than just waiting passively, it's better to take proactive action. Every day, I watch the top three coins on the gainers list; as soon as they go up, I go short immediately. POWER and AT are two I’ve been trading a lot these past few days, basically the top performers on the daily gainers list. The logic is simple: coins with higher short-term gains are often driven by short-term hype, so the chances of a rebound and fall are quite high.

This strategy is still in the exploration stage, but it’s much more proactive than just lying around waiting for funding fees. I still hold my position on PIPPIN, treating it as a long-term funding fee contract. Is anyone else using a similar approach? Let’s exchange experiences.

The top three in gains are empty, I like this idea, just need to grasp the rhythm properly.

Interesting, the funding fee income is 2000 but still at a loss. This rhythm is indeed uncomfortable. Chasing the top gainers every day with short positions? Feels easy to get caught in a squeeze and get trapped. This hot asset is actually more aggressive. I'm also thinking about whether I can combine these two ideas—earning from funding fees while looking for other ways to make a living. PIPPIN has indeed been dull this wave. Long-term holding is possible, but I'm worried about a sudden plunge at a critical moment. I usually avoid coins at the top of the gainers list; it's indeed easy to get cut. How has AT been these past two days? This idea sounds good but needs time to verify, otherwise it’s easy to get carried away. The 2000 in funding fees is indeed pretty good, at least it’s free money. The rest depends on how to make up for the few hundred in losses.

This strategy sounds good, but the coins at the top of the gainers list often move so quickly that if you're even a little late, you'll get caught. Paying 2000 USDT in funding fees is not bad; losing a few hundred is still acceptable. However, short positions are indeed risky. Once there's a reverse breakout, it's easy to get wiped out. Are your stop-loss settings tight enough? PIPPIN can be considered a pension fund—peace of mind. I'm a bit skeptical about this approach. If the entire market starts chasing gainers' short positions, it could turn into a harvesting tool for the chives. It seems like obsessing over this direction might not be the safest. Would adding a few more combined strategies be more stable?

I've tried this approach too, but I think the top three coins sometimes experience even more aggressive rebounds, so you need to set good stop-losses. Chasing the top gainers with short positions every day feels like gambling on probabilities; sometimes it just happens to be so cleverly blown out. Earning over $2,000 in funds is pretty good, but the subsequent losses are a bit hard to accept. Right now, I pay more attention to large order flows, which seems more reliable than just watching the ranking table. PIPPIN continuing to sit back and earn fees is also fine, it just depends on your mental resilience. How have your AT short positions performed these past two days? Have you been hammered back and forth? Honestly, those short-term hype coins can rebound really fiercely; be careful not to get caught too deep. The top of the gainers list can sometimes go crazy, so be mentally prepared.
