How to Change Position Settings

Adjust your range width and rebalance delay to optimize your position.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change range width and rebalance delay any time
  • New settings apply at the next rebalance
  • Use the backtest tool to test settings before changing them

When to Change Settings

The defaults work well for most people. But there are times when adjusting makes sense.

After backtesting: You found settings that historically outperform the defaults for your pool.

Market changes: A calm market might benefit from tighter ranges. A volatile market might need wider ranges.

Personal preference: You want fewer rebalances (wider range, longer delay) or more aggressive earning (tighter range, shorter delay).

How to Change Settings

  1. Go to maxfi.tech/positions
  2. Connect your wallet
  3. Find your position
  4. Click on the settings or edit option
  5. Adjust range width and/or rebalance delay
  6. Confirm the transaction in MetaMask

The gas fee is under $0.01 on Base.

What You Can Change

Range width: How far the price can move before a rebalance. Measured in percentage.

Rebalance delay: How long MaxFi waits after the price leaves your range. Measured in hours.

These are the two main settings. They control the tradeoff between earning power and rebalance frequency.

Settings Strategy

Conservative approach: Wide range (15-25%), long delay (6-12 hours). Fewer rebalances. More stable. Lower fees per trade.

Aggressive approach: Narrow range (3-5%), short delay (1-2 hours). More rebalances. Higher fees per trade. More active management.

Balanced approach: Medium range (5-10%), medium delay (2-4 hours). The defaults usually fall here.

Test Before You Change

Before adjusting, run a backtest at maxfi.tech/backtest. Test your proposed settings against the defaults. See which one performed better historically.

The backtest is free. Use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing settings cost money?
There is a small gas fee on Base (under $0.01). The settings change takes effect immediately.
Will changing settings trigger a rebalance?
Not immediately. The new settings apply to the next rebalance. If your position is currently in range, nothing changes until the price moves out.
Can I mess up my position by changing settings?
It is hard to mess up. If you pick settings you do not like, you can change them again. Use the backtest tool to test settings before applying.
