- Provide concentrated liquidity on PancakeSwap v3 with a tight price range
- Earn trading fees when the price trades within your range
- Wait for wicks — when a sudden price movement pushes the price out of range, the strategy waits for a defined period before repositioning
- Reposition — once the wait time passes, the strategy removes liquidity, swaps back, and re-enters at the current price
- Collect rewards — MasterChef farming rewards are harvested automatically

Step 3: Choose your market parameters
A tighter range means higher fee income when the price stays within range, but more frequent repositioning when it doesn't. A wider range is more conservative but earns lower fees.
When does this strategy work best?
- Sideways markets — the price stays within range, maximizing fee income
- Uptrending markets — moderate repositioning with good fee capture
- Not ideal for strong downtrends — frequent repositioning can erode returns
Each parameter set performs differently depending on market conditions. There is no "best" option — choose based on your market outlook.
