# Interest On Pending Trades

## Overview

<figure><img src="/files/EwiBpEI1t5gnaherdqN7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Earn supply interest on your allocated trade funds while waiting for your target price to be reached.

This strategy requires that you first have a lending position in the token that you're trading from. By lending tokens allocated to the trade, your otherwise idle tokens will be earning supply interest until the market reaches your trigger price.

Upon your target price being reached, your tokens are immediately withdrawn and the initial loan amount is immediately swapped at optimal market rates. By specifying a swap amount that is equal to the initial lending amount, any interest earned will then accrue to the strategy for the duration of the wait period.

## Potential Alpha

* **Earn Short Term Lending Interest:** Earn additional yields on otherwise idle reserved tokens while waiting for your target price to be hit.
* **Buy Low, Sell High:** Automatically trade at your desired price and earn from any token appreciation.
