# Multi-day Cook Up (MCU)

Best for multi-hour to multi-day LP in sideways & upward-trending price action

## What is Multiday Cook Up (MCU) Spot

Multiday Cook Up (MCU) Spot is a HawkFi model for LPs who want Spot liquidity, Auto-compound, and up-only Auto-rebalance for sideways or upward-trending price action.

## Model Overview

| Model        | LP Details                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

| Best for     | Multi-hour to multi-day LP when the LP wants Spot liquidity with directional, up-only range management.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| How it works | <p>MCU Spot starts with Spot liquidity across the selected range. Auto-compound keeps earned fees working inside the position, while Auto-rebalance can move the full range upward when the up-only condition is met.<br><br>The model is built to keep participating when price moves higher, while avoiding automatic downward rebalances during temporary dips.</p> |
| Ideal entry  | <p>- Sideways price with upward bias: double-sided MCU Spot<br>- Steady uptrend: double-sided or token-heavier MCU Spot<br>- Temporary dips inside a broader uptrend: MCU Spot when the LP does not want automatic downside range resets</p>                                                                                                                           |

## Model Building Blocks

While this is a model with a combination of automations, the automations are still customizable to your liking.

| Model Automations   | LP effect                                                                | Default settings                                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Liquidity shape     | Uses Spot liquidity across the selected range.                           | SPOT                                            |
| Auto-compound (AC)  | Compounds earned fees back into the active position.                     | AC                                              |
| Auto-rebalance (AR) | Moves the full range upward when the up-only rebalance condition is met. | UP ONLY, 10M COOLDOWN, +-15%\*, IN-RANGE BUFFER |

## Why use Multiday Cook Up (MCU) Spot

Use MCU Spot when you want a slower, longer-horizon LP model that can follow upward price movement without automatically chasing every downside move.

The simple idea is:

* Spot liquidity gives broad participation across the selected range.
* AC keeps generated fees active inside the position.
* Up-only AR lets the range move higher when price trends up.

## Variants of this Model

* [MCU Curve](/whitepaper/hawkfi-solana/hawkfi-models/multi-day-cook-up-mcu/multi-day-cook-up-mcu-curve.md) uses the same MCU behavior with Curve liquidity shape for more concentrated fee generation around the active bin.
* [Multiday Cook Up (MCU)](/whitepaper/hawkfi-solana/hawkfi-models/multi-day-cook-up-mcu.md) is the broader MCU overview page for comparing Spot and Curve versions.
