💧 Automatic Liquidity

​

Overview

Lightbeam’s Automatic Liquidity system allows you to provide concentrated, on-chain liquidiy on any trading pair with a custom distribution. Unlike traditional AMM pools that spread your capital inefficiently across all price ranges, our system lets you target specific price levels for maximum profitability. Key Benefits:

• Automated Profit Generation: Buy low, sell high on autopilot - capturing profits on each market swing
• Capital Efficiency: Concentrate liquidity at optimal price ranges
• Flexible Control: Create up to 18 coordinated orders in one transaction
• Continuous Operation: Orders automatically flip after execution to keep earning

Access this feature through the Liquidity tab on our Swap Page, where our streamlined interface makes complex liquidity strategies simple to deploy.

How Automatic Liquidity Works

​

The Core Concept: Flipping Orders

Automatic Liquidity orders are intelligent limit orders that automatically “flip” to the opposite side after execution: Buy Order Execution:

1. Your buy order fills at your target price
2. System immediately places a sell order using the purchased tokens
3. Sell price is set at your buy price + profit spread

Sell Order Execution:

1. Your sell order fills at your target price
2. System immediately places a buy order using the sale proceeds
3. Buy price is set at your sell price - profit spread

This creates an endless cycle of buying low and selling high, with each complete round-trip generating profit equal to your chosen spread percentage.

​

Profit Spread Strategy

Your profit spread percentage determines the price gap between paired buy/sell orders. This is how much higher the sell price will be relative to the buy price for each flip.: Spread Size Impact:

• Small spreads (1-2%): More frequent execution, smaller profits per trade
• Medium spreads (3-5%): Balanced frequency and profit
• Large spreads (5%+): Higher profits per trade, less frequent execution

Example: With a 5% spread, if your buy order fills at $1.00, the system automatically places a sell order at $1.05. When both sides complete, you’ve earned approximately 5% profit (minus trading fees) on that capital.

​

Multi-Order Grid Strategy

Deploy many coordinated automatic liquidity orders in a single transaction, creating a sophisticated grid trading system: Grid Benefits:

• Diversified Price Coverage: Capture profits across multiple price levels
• Risk Distribution: Spread execution risk across various price points
• Custom Curves: Choose from multiple distribution patterns

Available Distribution Curves:

• Linear: Equal-sized orders at regular intervals
• Exponential: Concentrated liquidity at range extremes
• Sigmoid: Higher concentration in the middle range
• Quadratic: Mathematical curve-based distribution

This grid approach transforms your capital into a comprehensive automated trading system.

​

Key Advantages Over Traditional AMM Pools

Concentrated Liquidity Benefits:

• No Impermanent Loss: Orders only execute at your chosen prices
• Capital Efficiency: 100% of your capital works at targeted price levels
• Precise Control: Choose exactly where your liquidity operates
• Order Book Integration: True limit orders, not algorithmic pricing

Operational Characteristics: Liquidity-Only Placement: Orders must be placed away from current market price (buys below, sells above) to ensure you’re providing liquidity rather than immediately trading. Continuous Operation: Orders automatically flip indefinitely until you cancel them, creating a perpetual profit-generating system. Flexible Control: Cancel individual orders or your entire strategy anytime (unless locked), allowing dynamic position management. Optional Locking: Lock orders for predetermined periods to guarantee liquidity stability - useful for project launches or long-term commitment strategies. Or leave orders unlocked for maximum flexibility.

Setup Guide: Deploy Your Automated Strategy

Follow this comprehensive guide to configure and deploy your automatic liquidity strategy:

​

1. Access the Liquidity Interface

Navigate to the Swap Page and select the Liquidity tab. If you arrived from a token page, your trading pair will be pre-selected. Direct Link: https://lightbeam.finance/swap?swapType=liquidity

​

2. Configure Your Price Range

Set the price boundaries where your automated strategy will operate: Min Price (Lower Bound)

• Lowest price for buy order placement
• Must be below current market price to avoid instant execution
• Determines your most aggressive buying level

Max Price (Upper Bound)

• Highest price for sell order placement
• Must be above current market price
• Sets your profit-taking ceiling

​

3. Allocate Your Capital

Specify how much of each token to deploy in your automated strategy: Buy Amount (Quote Currency)

• Total amount of quote currency (e.g., USDC) for buy orders
• Will be distributed across your chosen price range below market
• Determines your total buying power

Sell Amount (Base Token)

• Total amount of base tokens (e.g., KEETA) for sell orders
• Will be distributed across your chosen price range above market
• Determines your total selling capacity

​

4. Set the Profit Percentage

Choose your Profit % (spread) for each flip. This percentage is how much higher the sell price will be relative to the buy price for each order. For example, a 5% profit means each time your buy order executes, Lightbeam will automatically place a corresponding sell order 5% above that buy price. Every completed buy→sell cycle yields roughly a 5% gain (minus any trading fees).

​

5. Choose a Liquidity Distribution Curve (Advanced)

If available, select a Bonding Curve (distribution type) for multiple orders between your Min and Max prices. Options may include:

• Linear: Evenly distribute liquidity across the range (equal-sized orders at regular price intervals).
• Exponential: Concentrate more liquidity near one end of the range (e.g. more buy orders closer to Min Price, tapering off towards Max).
• Sigmoid/Other curves: Specialized distributions that concentrate liquidity in the middle or according to a specific formula.

​

6. Optional – Set a Lock Time

You can lock the automatic liquidity order for a preset duration (e.g. 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week). Locking prevents you from canceling the order until the chosen time has elapsed. This is useful if you must provide liquidity for a period (for example, project owners during a fair launch) to avoid removing liquidity early.

​

7. Review and Place Your Order

Double-check all inputs and the summary of your automatic liquidity setup. The interface will often display a preview of your orders (prices and amounts) and expected outcomes. Ensure the configuration matches your intent (correct range, amounts, and profit percent). When ready, click “Place Order”.

​

8. Confirm the Transaction

Sign the transaction in your Keeta wallet to deploy the automatic liquidity orders on-chain. Once confirmed, your liquidity strategy is active.

​

9. Monitor and Manage

After activation, Lightbeam will automatically buy low and sell high according to your parameters:

• Your flip orders run indefinitely – whenever a buy order fills, a sell order is opened at the profit % target, and vice versa, cycling continuously.
• You can cancel the automatic liquidity order at any time from your active orders list (unless it’s locked, in which case you must wait for the lock period to end). Canceling stops the strategy and releases any remaining tokens back to your wallet.
• If the market moves outside your set Min/Max range, the system will simply not place new orders outside those bounds. You may choose to adjust the range or create new positions if market conditions change significantly.

​

Tips and Best Practices

​

Start Small and Learn

If you’re new to automatic liquidity, begin with a modest amount. This lets you observe how the system behaves (buys, flips, sells) without taking on too much risk. You can always scale up once you’re comfortable with the mechanics.

​

Choose a Smart Price Range

Set your Min–Max range based on realistic market expectations. A range that’s too broad might spread your liquidity thin, while a very narrow range could mean your orders flip frequently but stop if price leaves the range. Aim to cover the typical volatility of the token without going to extreme highs or lows that are unlikely to hit.

​

Set a Reasonable Profit %

Pick a profit percentage that balances frequency and reward. A lower profit % (e.g. 1-2%) will trigger more often in a volatile market but yields smaller gains each cycle (and must cover trading fees). A higher profit % (e.g. 5-10%) means each flip nets more per trade, but your orders may take longer to fill (or might not fill at all if the market doesn’t swing that far). Many users start around 1-5% and adjust based on market activity.

​

Use Appropriate Order Sizes

Your Buy Amount and Sell Amount should reflect how much you’re willing to trade in each cycle. Remember that if all your buy orders execute, you’ll need the equivalent Sell Amount of tokens to flip, and vice versa. It’s often wise not to commit your entire balance at once – keep some reserves in case you want to adjust or if the market moves sharply.

​

Optional Locking – Use with Caution

Locking your liquidity can promote a stable market (no sudden removal of liquidity), which is great for supporting a token launch or low-liquidity asset. However, only lock if you’re confident you won’t need those funds for the duration. For most users just farming gains, leaving orders unlocked is safer so you can respond to market changes or emergencies.
