5000 dollars death roll: How I made a comeback in the crypto world after a 5 million liquidation
In 2022, I was liquidated for 5 million.
That year, LUNA went to zero, FTX collapsed, and my heavily invested ETH dropped from $3000 to $800, wiping my contract account clean overnight.
In the end, I was left with only 5000 dollars.
I could either admit defeat and leave the market or use this 5000 dollars to play a death game of 'either a comeback or zero'.
(The following is the strategy I executed, but I never disclose the final move.)
Step 1: Choose the target with guaranteed kill
In extreme market conditions, only two types of coins can be violently rolled:
1. High volatility altcoins (like SOL and AVAX which dropped 90% at that time)
2. Extremely panicked BTC/ETH (spike events are the opportunity)
I chose SOL because:
After the FTX collapse, SOL dropped from $260 to $8, and the market was in extreme panic.
However, on-chain data showed that whales were aggressively accumulating in the $8-12 range.
Step 2: Divide the 5000 dollars into three parts
First part 2000 dollars: open a 10x long position at SOL $9 (stop loss at $8.5).
Second part 2000 dollars: reserved for averaging down, if it drops to $8.3, increase the position 20x (bet on a bounce from overselling).
Third part 1000 dollars: wait for profits to double, then roll profits into BTC during extreme market conditions.
The craziest battle
On November 9, 2022, SOL spiked down to $8.2, triggering my second part, fully leveraged 20x.
5 hours later, SOL violently rebounded to $14, and my account grew from 5000 to 32,000.
Core rules of violent rolling
1. Only act when the market is in 'extreme fear' (refer to the fear and greed index < 10).
2. Leverage = volatility ÷ 2 (for example, if SOL's daily volatility is 20%, then use 10x).
3. Immediately withdraw the principal after profits (safety of capital allows profits to continue rolling).
Final battle: BTC's death spike
On November 21, 2022, BTC crashed to $15,400, causing extreme market panic.
I used 30,000 in capital to open a 25x long position at $15,500—5 days later, BTC rebounded to $16,500, and my account surged to 180,000.
But that wasn't the most ruthless part.
The real final blow that turned my fortunes around was a 'liquidation hunting algorithm' that I never disclose.
Want to feast on profits? Want to quickly recover your capital? Then use the rolling method.
