According to the current short-selling market, it takes 230 points to benefit, with the following 5 situations for reference. It is recommended to choose the 1st and 2nd options, the 3rd option may allow for a slight edge by gaining an extra point each cycle, while the 4th and 5th options are not recommended. The 1st option is optimal in case another point drop profit is seized; if there’s another possibility, it’s to trade 1 extra point each cycle under the 1st option to reach 286 points.
1. Basically, you need a balance of 3 points + trading 16 points, totaling 19 points * 15 days = 285 points, 285 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 225 points. In one cycle, seize 4, and in one month, seize 8 airdrops, each with a minimum guarantee of 30U, yielding 240U. Wear and tear is 3.5U * 30 days = 105U, profit is 135U, profit ÷ cost = 128%;
2. If it’s 19 points * 10 days + 20 points * 5 days = 290 points, 290 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 215 points. In one cycle, seize 5, and in one month, seize 10 airdrops, each with a minimum guarantee of 30U, yielding 300U. Wear and tear is 3.5U * 20 days + 7U * 10 days = 140U, profit is 160U, profit ÷ cost = 114%;
3. If it’s 19 points * 9 days + 20 points * 6 days = 291 points, 291 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 216 points. In one cycle, seize 5, and in one month, seize 10 airdrops, each with a minimum guarantee of 30U, yielding 300U. Wear and tear is 3.5U * 18 days + 7U * 12 days = 147U, profit is 153U, profit ÷ cost = 104%;
4. If it’s 20 points * 30 days = 300 points, 300 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 225 points. In one cycle, seize 5 + 1 possible, and in one month, seize 10 airdrops + 2 possible, each with a minimum guarantee of 30U and possibly 20U, yielding 340U. Wear and tear is 7U * 30 days = 210U, profit is 130U, profit ÷ cost = 62%;
5. If it’s 20 points * 10 days + 21 points * 5 days = 305 points, 305 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 215 points. In one cycle, seize 6, and in one month, seize 12 airdrops, each with a minimum guarantee of 30U, yielding 360U. Wear and tear is 7U * 20 days + 14U * 10 days = 280U, profit is 80U, profit ÷ cost = 28%;
