🔥High Frequency Liquidity (HFL)

Highly concentrated fee generation from tight-range, fast 1min swapless rebalances

Disclaimer: HFL is an experimental, unproven, and rapidly evolving strategy. This is a “living & breathing” document that will constantly be updated based on new findings & learnings of HFL experiments. HFL is an advanced liquidity providing strategy for advanced LPers

What is High Frequency Liquidity (HFL)?

  • HFL is a Meteora DLMM automation strategy that provides liquidity at very tight ranges (eg 5-10 bins) while rapidly swapless rebalancing every 1 minute to constantly stay in-range for concentrated fee generation.

DEX selection

  • Meteora DLMM only

  • Not available on Orca CLMM or Raydium CLMM because swapless rebalancing is unfeasible on CLMMs - and high frequency swapped rebalancing would significantly erode LP fee generation.

Token & Pool selection

  • IMPORTANT: Find tokens with HIGH VOLUME in HIGH FEE TIER pools

  • Avoid low fee tier pools especially majors like SOL-USDC. These usually have low fee-generation and low organic flow. Multiday Cook Up (MCU) LP strategy is more suitable for these pools

  • Target tokens trading upwards or sideways (not downwards). Rebalances amplify gains upwards/sideways, and losses downwards. Temporary dips are fine when fee-generation can catch up at reversals

Token Price Trend
Goal of HFL

⬆️ Upwards

Be net positive from token price growth and concentrated fee-generation

↔️ Sideways

Be net positive from concentrated fee-generation

⬇️ Downwards

Avoid LPing into a token in steep decline. Because rebalances amplify gains upwards/sideways and losses downwards.

However during temporary dips, there are cases when HFL mitigates IL during sideways trading or reversals, due to concentrated fee-generation.

In some cases of very high volume tokens, HFL fee-generation can offset or outperform IL from token price declines.

LP Duration & Take Profit Strategy

  • Typically few hours, or few days (ONLY IF volume is consistently strong for days)

    • Tip: Track 5min volume of tokens on Jup Pro or GMGN

  • In other words, HFL as long as volume is high

  • Use HawkFi Stop Loss automations to mitigate downside risk of token price declines

How to do HFL?

Step
HawkFi automation
Purpose

1

Deploy tight 7-11 bins single-side liquidity at local bottoms of price (In other words: Enter at price dips)

Maximize upside and minimize IL from token price bottoming further

2

1 minute autorebalance, follow price up or down

Constantly stay in-range by rapidly rebalancing every 1 minute to generate fees

3

Swapless “No swap” autorebalances

Maximize yield by avoiding DEX swap fees for frequent rebalances

4

Match “New price range after rebalance” to number of bins in Step 1

Maximize fee-generation by concentrating LP tightly around market price of token

5

Autocompound

Constantly compound yield while replenishing tokens for both sides of the pool (e.g. SOL and non-SOL token), since rebalances are swapless

6 (Optional)

Stop Loss, with auto-swap to SOL

Mitigate downside risk by setting a stop loss trigger that closes the LP position and auto-swaps to SOL

FAQs

  1. Why is my position not autorebalancing every 1 minute?

Potential reasons:

  • Liquidity position is in-range. Rebalances only trigger when position is out-of-range

  • There are no (zero) trades occuring in the pool. Rebalances only trigger when trades occur in the pool. Pools typically have infrequent trades when it has low volume or flows
