## Overview

<figure><img src="/files/zkm467yhbh9I0qzKghzC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Automatically add single-sided concentrated liquidity when your target price is reached and DCA into/out of a token while earning AMM trading fees. All of your tokens are traded against as the market traverses over your selected range in a single direction. Additionally, your position also earns trading fees for any bi-directional trades that occurs within the range.

## Potential Alpha

* **Gradually Buy At Lower Prices:** Purchase tokens along a smooth price curve starting from your start price to your specified end price.
* **Gradually Sell At Higher Prices:** Sell tokens along a smooth price curve starting from your start price to your specified end price.
* **Earn From Market Spreads:** Earn additional trading fees from short term volatility within your selected range.
