# Strategists Assemble

Regardless of anything and everything, whatever method users apply to earn leads to one key factor: the Net APY. The low borrowing rate and high deposit rate, giving high Net APY, are the starting point of any profit and have been used in various strategies. In fact, most significant transactions happened utilizing strategies with high Net APY.

The unrevealed design of Backlash V2 maximizes users’ profit by utilizing numerous strategies with customizable options. Before our official launch, we wished to let everyone get familiar with the utilization of strategies and to catch the eyes of strategists wandering Twitter (which could be the primary purpose…). Starting from sharing strategies with the classic and basic combination of low borrow and high deposit interests, calculating Net APY, leveraging, and evaluating the risks.

Building Strategy
-----------------

### **Calculating Net APY**

1.  Find collateral asset with the highest deposit interest rate for depositing as collateral
    
2.  Find a borrow( Debt ) asset with the lowest borrowing interest
    
3.  Calculate Net APY using the formula:
    
    **_Net APY = Deposit interest - ( Borrow interest x LTV )_**
    

### **Leverage**

1.  Calculate maximum leverage multiplier:
    
    **_Max leverage multiplier = LTV / 1 - LTV_**
    
2.  Calculate maximum leveraged Net APY:
    
    **_Max leveraged Net APY = Max leverage multiplier x Net APY_**
    
3.  Using two assets with found Net APY, maximize the APY using leveraging methods:
    
    **Looping**
    
    1.  Borrow the maximum amount of tokens possible from your collateral corresponding to LTV.
        
    2.  Re-deposit to the pool the amount of tokens you borrowed from step 1.
        
    3.  Borrow the maximum amount of tokens possible against the re-deposit you made in step 2.
        
    4.  Continue to alternate borrowing and re-depositing, decreasing each round due to the LTV. Until you reach the maximum leveraged multiplier/maximum leveraged Net APY.
        
    
    **Flash Leverage**
    
    1.  Initiate (**_Max leverage multiplier x Initial deposit_**) worth of flash loan.
        
    2.  With an initial deposit and (**_Max leverage multiplier x Initial deposit_**) from the flash loan in Step 1, deposit (**_Initial deposit + (Max leverage multiplier x Initial deposit)_**) to any random lending protocol.
        
    3.  Using your total deposit (**_Initial deposit + Flash loan_**) from Step 2, a loan of is (**_Max leverage multiplier x Initial deposit_**) is extracted, which is your maximum borrowing amount (LTV) of the deposition.
        
    4.  The flash loan in Step 1 is then closed using the borrowed amount from Step 3.
        
        **_Amount of Flash loan you have to open = Max leverage multiplier x Initial deposition_**
        
    
    For those who are familiar with flash loan leverage coding, flash leverage is recommended; however, although it might lead to higher gas costs, using looping does not affect your maximum leveraged Net APY, so both are possible.
    
    A transaction-building tool called “[**Furucombo**](https://furucombo.app/)” or a streamlined leverager “[**Contango**](https://contango.xyz/)” can be used when trying flash leverage methods for Aave and Compound.
    
    Anyone willing to know a detailed explanation of flash leveraging and Looping, refer to the link [here](https://medium.com/@backlash_fi/looping-vs-flash-leverage-a7c451b6211d).
    

### Risk

Calculating max leveraged position liquidation price of each asset:

1.  **_Deposit asset liquidation price = LTV x current Deposit asset price/LT_**
    
2.  **_Borrow asset liquidation price = LT x Current borrow asset price / LTV_**
    

Risk management is much simpler by knowing the price of the asset being liquidated.

**Exit position before the price of each borrowing and deposited asset reaches its liquidation price or when Net APY turns negative.** ( The liquidation scenario we have analyzed is only based on the price change of the assets. )
