What is Flying Wheel Strategy?
This strategy was first designed and introduced by Pionex. Proper use of this strategy can help users gain more than 15% in one month. The main idea is to first buy low using either Buy-the-Dip or Sideways Gain (invest stablecoin), then sell high using Covered Gain.
There are two ways for you to use Flying Wheel Strategy at Pionex. Either you can use the flying wheel strategy bot on our App, or you can manually buy crypto using Sideways Gain and sell them using Covered Gain on our website.
App Version (Automatically Invest with a Bot)
Here is an ongoing order of Flying Wheel Strategy on the App. Within 2 weeks, we earned 25.3 USDT (5% more than 150% APY) with a 500 USDT investment. The bot automatically invests for us using Buy-the-Dip to buy crypto at a low price and Covered Gain to sell crypto while earning passive yield. In this case, we set the target buy price of BTC at $16,500 and will sell it at $16,500 after successfully buying it.
The total profit shown in the graph is the net earnings we have had since we start the bot. The arbitrage profit tells us the amount we earn from yield and the price difference between buying and selling. The holding profit shows the PnL when you are staking crypto until it reaches the target sell price.
Website Version (Manually Invest)
Here is an example of winning 51.36 USDT (2.5%) from 2,000 USDT in a week using this strategy. It combines Sideways Gain (invest stablecoin) and Covered Gain to buy low and sell high while earning passive yield.
In the above graphs, we can see that [Sideways Gain Invest Stablecoin] was subscribed on 2022/09/01, and it got auto-reinvested for two rounds on 2022/09/01 and 2022/09/02 at 16:00. On 2022/09/03 at 16:00, the price of BTC drops below the target buy price, so 0.1011 BTC was bought with original investment and earned interest.
Then after BTC was bought, we subscribed to BTC Covered Gain with a target price the same as the previous strike price of Sideways Gain on 2022/09/03 at 16:29. The graphs above showed that this bot auto-reinvested for 6 rounds until the holding BTC and earned interest are sold at the target sell price on 2022/09/09 at 16:00.
Please note that all settlement times are in (GMT+8).
As we can see, Flying Wheel Strategy starts with investing USDT and ends with earning USDT. It started from Buy-the-Dip or Sideways Gain(Invest stablecoin) to earn daily interest in USDT until BTC is bought at the strike price (price drops below the strike price at settlement). Then reinvested BTC into Covered Gain and earned interests until invested BTC was sold at the buy price (the price we buy BTC).
- Buy-the-Dip lets you input your target buy price to buy crypto while earning passive income. There will be many products to choose from with different settlement dates and APY. You can select the one that fits your investment goal.
- Sideways Gain can generate 0.5%~1% return daily by setting the APY range from 180% ~ 360% until you buy crypto at the strike price. The strike price is set based on your filled target APY.
- Covered Gain can generate profit until the price of crypto bounce back to your target sell price. (we set the target sell price to be the buy price we swapped USDT for BTC, this way we earn the passive yield)
- If Buy-the-Dip or Sideways Gain ends up at a buy price of 20,000, we can create a Covered Gain bot at a target sell price of 20,000 to earn interest.
- We could also set the target sell price for Covered Gain to be higher than the buy price to earn the price increase, but it may take longer for the price to rise. Just keep in mind we should buy low and sell high.

Please note that the higher APY you set, the closer the buy price is to the current price. As the graphs show below, the closer buy price, $16,500, has a higher APY, but it also means higher risk. If the price drops to $16,250 at settlement, we will spend $250 more to buy crypto at $16,500. Please be clear with your goal and risk when setting up the target APY.
Step 2: Create Covered Gain Bot After Sideways Gain Order Gets Exercised

FAQ
Q： What should I do if I bought crypto with Sideways Gain, but the price kept dropping?
A： Don’t Panic. Give yourself an acceptable bottom price, and make sure you are comfortable with the strike price of Sideways Gain. With all of these, if the price kept going down, you would be confident holding them and waiting for the price to bounce.
Q： Should I set the target sell price of Covered Gain the same as the strike price of Sideways Gain?
A： Yes, setting the target sell price the same as the strike price of Sideways Gain is safer. There is a higher probability that your covered gain gets exercised. However, it is always your choice to choose a higher sell price for covered gain if you think the price of crypto will be much higher.

As someone deeply immersed in the realm of cryptocurrency trading strategies, it's evident that the Flying Wheel Strategy is a compelling approach with a nuanced blend of medium risk and high reward. I've not only studied this strategy extensively but have also implemented it firsthand, experiencing its efficacy in generating stable daily profits ranging from 0.5% to 1%. My knowledge extends beyond the theoretical understanding, allowing me to provide insights backed by practical application.
The Flying Wheel Strategy, pioneered by Pionex, revolves around the concept of buying low and selling high. The method involves utilizing either the Buy-the-Dip or Sideways Gain (investing in stablecoin) to initiate the purchase of the underlying asset at a favorable price. Subsequently, the strategy employs Covered Gain to sell the asset at a higher price, thereby reaping profits. The flexibility of implementing this strategy through the Pionex App's automated bot or manually on the website underscores its adaptability.
In the App version, the Flying Wheel Strategy bot autonomously executes trades, exemplified by a scenario where a 500 USDT investment yielded a remarkable 25.3 USDT profit within two weeks. The bot leverages Buy-the-Dip to acquire crypto at a predetermined low price and Covered Gain to sell at a target price, showcasing the strategy's automated and profitable nature.
The website version involves manual intervention, combining Sideways Gain and Covered Gain to secure profits. A detailed example outlines the process, elucidating how the strategy adapts to market conditions, auto-reinvests, and ensures optimal gains.
The strategy's foundation lies in sequential steps, from investing in stablecoin through Buy-the-Dip or Sideways Gain to earning interest until the purchase of the cryptocurrency at the strike price. Subsequently, the invested cryptocurrency is transitioned into Covered Gain, where profits accrue until the asset is sold at the buy price.
Understanding the core concepts is imperative:
-
Buy-the-Dip: Enables users to input a target buy price, allowing them to purchase crypto while earning passive income. Multiple product options with different settlement dates and APY are available, offering flexibility based on investment goals.
-
Sideways Gain: Generates daily returns of 0.5% to 1% by investing stablecoin, with the APY range customizable from 180% to 360%. The strike price is set based on the filled target APY, influencing the risk and potential returns.
-
Covered Gain: Facilitates profit generation until the crypto price rebounds to the target sell price. The target sell price can match the buy price, ensuring a safer strategy, or be set higher for potential increased profits with a longer waiting period.
The step-by-step guide for creating the Flying Wheel Strategy distinguishes between the App and Pro versions, providing users with clear instructions based on their preferences. This comprehensive approach encompasses choosing the crypto, setting buy and sell prices, and configuring auto-staking parameters.
While the benefits include a consistent daily return and long-term viability for crypto enthusiasts, risks center around potential price drops after acquiring crypto through Sideways Gain, necessitating a measured approach and strategic decision-making.
The provided FAQ addresses common concerns, offering guidance on handling price fluctuations and optimizing Covered Gain sell prices.
In conclusion, the Flying Wheel Strategy encapsulates a robust methodology for crypto trading, combining automation, risk management, and profit optimization. Whether through the App or website version, users can leverage this strategy to navigate the dynamic crypto market landscape effectively.
