The best strategy for making money in LP pools right now part 3 in part 2, I broke down why the way you distribute your size across a range changes your LP results now I want to take it further: a Bid-Ask ladder extending down to −90%, with most of the capital allocated to the lower ranges even if the token is already at a $20–30M market cap market cap alone won’t protect you from the next dump so when I build a position, I care more about where my capital will be deployed if I get the entry wrong say the token trades at $1 the bottom of the ladder sits around $0.10 a small portion of the capital sits near the current price, with more allocated further down the bulk of the buying is reserved for a deep drawdown in a token/USDC pair, that means the lower rungs stay in USDC until the price reaches them I don’t spend the entire deposit on the first 10–20% drop. I plan in advance how much I’m willing to buy at each stage of the decline that’s the point of this setup during a hard dump, most of the inventory is accumulated at lower prices and trading within the active ranges generates fees that can help offset the drawdown look at the first screenshot: after a deep selloff, the token started recovering with the right allocation and enough accumulated fees, you can break even or exit in profit before the price returns to your original entry you don’t necessarily need to wait for the full pump that followed but the bounce you need has to be calculated for your actual position: an LP sells the accumulated tokens back as the price rises, so the average purchase price alone isn’t enough this wider setup comes with a trade-off while the market trades near the top, the lower rungs aren’t earning fees I’m willing to keep more capital idle so it’s available at lower prices I wouldn’t build my base case around 5–10% a day to make 100% a year without compounding, you need an average net daily return of around 0.274% of your starting capital that’s after inventory losses and costs, not just an impressive number in fees whether you achieve that comes down to flow, allocation, and position management so first, a token that still has buyers and volume after a dump then the range and size I’m willing to put at risk if demand disappears or the price falls below the entire ladder, even a deep Bid-Ask setup will leave you holding a falling token but being able to reserve most of the capital for lower levels in advance is what makes this approach interesting to me on regular Uniswap or PancakeSwap, I’d have to build this ladder manually: open multiple separate positions, set their bounds, and split the size between them with @liquidityladder, I set the range down to −90%, the capital distribution, and the number of levels in one workflow a small size at the top, most of the capital at the bottom of the tools I know, Ladder is the only one that lets me build these Bid-Ask positions this way across all the networks it supports the platform charges 0.1% to create a ladder for me, it’s a convenient way to execute the entire strategy without manually building each rung a Bid-Ask ladder down to −90% gives you room to get your entry wrong I pay for that flexibility with lower fee income near the top of the range in the next post, I can show exactly how I choose tokens and size for these slow cook setups

The best strategy for making money in LP pools right now in the quote, I explained how I turned $1K into +$21K on Robinhood LP but my biggest takeaway from this month was not about picking the next token I simply stopped opening one Spot position most LPs do this: - pick a range - deploy their entire size - look at the APR - pray the token stays in range I do it differently: I distribute my size through Bid-Ask let’s use a simple $500 example the token trades at $1 the range is from $1 to $0.50 if you open a one sided Spot position, the $500 is distributed evenly across the entire range if the price falls to $0.50, the average entry becomes $0.707 the position is worth $353.55 result: -29.3% to break even before fees, the token needs to bounce +41.4% from the bottom now take the same $500, but use Bid Ask I intentionally deploy less size near the current price and more size lower in this example, the average entry becomes $0.615 at the same $0.50 price, the position is worth $406.66 result: -18.7% the difference is not Bid Ask magic the difference is that I am not buying the entire token position at the same bad price if the price bounces to $0.65: the Bid ladder is already around +$28 the regular Spot position is still around -$40 the screenshot shows my real Basecat setup: - $500 - 7 separate positions - +$40.07 in fees - around 5 hours in the position this is not a promise of 150% APR every day it is the result of one pool with genuine order flow but this is how I approach EVM LPs: - do not chase 5m volume - do not put your entire bankroll into one range - do not LP a token you are not comfortable holding lower I choose a token with a thesis, build a ladder, and know in advance: - where I will accumulate inventory - how much size I will deploy - and where I will start exiting on the bounce on regular Uniswap or PancakeSwap, building and managing this structure would mean manually opening multiple positions (or any tools) with @liquidityladder I set the range, distribution, and number of levels in one workflow (I know that Liquidity Ladder is the only tool that lets me open these positions across all supported networks, and it is also the cheapest option to use, charging just 0.1% to open a position) in the next tweet, I can show exactly how I choose tokens, ranges, and size for these slow cook setups

how I got drained on @fomo without connecting a wallet or entering a seed phrase important: I am not claiming that FOMO itself was hacked this was a malicious tracker that I ran inside an already logged in FOMO session three weeks ago, a guy who followed my Telegram channel messaged me asking for my FOMO referral link it felt like a completely normal DM after a few messages, he offered to show me a tracker he had built for FOMO I opened the site and thought I was being careful I had no intention of connecting a wallet or entering my seed phrase I thought that was enough to stay safe the tracker looked legitimate it asked me to drag a button into my bookmarks bar, then open FOMO and click it so I did the problem was that it was not a normal link the bookmark contained code starting with `javascript:` in other words, it was a bookmarklet when clicked, the browser executes that code directly inside the page where you are currently logged in you do not need to enter a seed phrase you do not need to connect another wallet you do not need to download a file by running unknown JavaScript inside a crypto terminal, you give it access to whatever your active page session can access around a week later, I opened my FOMO profile and my funds were gone after the drain, the scammer messaged me and claimed that he got my seed phrase the moment I added the bookmarklet I cannot independently verify the exact technical path he used, so I am not presenting that as a confirmed conclusion but the result is obvious: I ran unknown code on a page where my money was stored. remember: a normal bookmark points to `https://...` a bookmark that starts with `javascript:` executes code in your browser. do not run unknown bookmarklets on FOMO, Photon, GMGN, BullX, or any other crypto terminal. if you have already run something similar: - delete the bookmarklet - terminate all active sessions - revoke approvals and session permissions - move remaining funds from a clean device to a fresh wallet - send the link and code to the platform’s security team
