I want to share my
thoughts/guesses, calling it a strategy will not be relevant, rather a trajectory. I will be glad if this is useful to someone and grateful for any good comment.

If you are trading in 'long' with leverage, it is more profitable to do it specifically in coin-m, as earnings come not only from the long but also from the rise in the price of the token you are longing. That is, we initially invest in (e.g. ltc), and then add a multiplier. But if we talk about 'short', I haven't fully thought that through yet.
Let's consider the benefits of trading 'short'.
If we take the phrase 'doubled and fell in half', the deeper I think, the more questions arise. Let's take the token $XXX at a price of 100$ doubled = 200
fell in half = 50
It seems to be the same action with the price (but in different directions), but the number of steps (1$=1 step) up-100, down-50, a difference of 50 $STEP.
At the time when it doubled, that's plus 100%, while falling in half is minus 50%.
I don't know if I am leading anyone to new thoughts or if I am misleading myself, but it seems to me there is an interesting game of numbers here and due to the number of steps, the advantage of leveraged trading seems to shift to 'short', but this is not the final solution.
