If you're diving into the wild world of meme tokens on Solana, you know how volatile they can be—one minute they're pumping to the moon, the next they're dumping hard. But what if you could turn that volatility into a steady profit machine? That's where this clever strategy shared by Lochie on X comes in. It's all about using Meteora's Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) to essentially DCA (dollar-cost average) your way in and out of positions while earning fees along the way.

Lochie, a self-proclaimed Sol-Chad and Meteora enthusiast, posted this gem of a tactic that's been working wonders for him. Check out the original tweet for the raw details, but let's break it down here in plain English.

The Step-by-Step Strategy

This approach is designed for single-sided liquidity pools on Meteora DLMM, where you provide liquidity in just one token (like SOL or a meme coin) across a bid-ask spread. It's like setting up a smart buy-and-sell order that adjusts automatically. Here's how it works:

1. Open a Single-Sided Bid-Ask Position: Start by depositing your token into a DLMM pool with a wide bid-ask range. This means you're ready to buy when the price drops (bid) and sell when it rises (ask). Meteora's DLMM uses advanced curves to handle volatility better than traditional AMMs, making it ideal for meme tokens.

2. Watch the Token Dump and DCA In: As the price falls—common in meme coin dumps—your position automatically buys more of the token at lower prices. This is DCA in action: averaging down your cost basis without lifting a finger. You're accumulating the asset cheaply while the market panics.

3. Withdraw Liquidity and Redeploy: Once the dump bottoms out and you've bought all the way down, pull your liquidity out. Then, redeploy it into a new bid-ask position focused on the token side. This shifts your setup to prepare for the inevitable pump.

4. Watch the Pump and DCA Out: When the token starts pumping again, your position sells off incrementally at higher prices. Again, DCA-style: you're locking in profits gradually as the price climbs, reducing the risk of selling too early or too late.

Lochie calls this a "slow cook" because it's not about quick flips—it's a patient play that lets the market do the work. And as replies to his tweet point out, it's stress-free and works great on SOL pairs.

Why This Works for Meme Tokens

Meme coins thrive on hype cycles: massive pumps followed by sharp corrections. Traditional holding (HODLing) can burn you, but this strategy turns those swings into opportunities. By providing liquidity, you're also earning trading fees from others using the pool, adding an extra layer of yield.

Take the example in the attached image— it looks like a play on AVICII-SOL, a fun meme token nod to the famous DJ. The screenshot shows a tidy $92 profit with a +474% PNL, all while chilling in a tropical vibe. It's a perfect illustration of how DLMM can print money in the background.

Community feedback echoes this. One user from the LP Army called it the "best printer," while others noted it's golden for BA (bid-ask) flips on SOL. Even in ranging markets, you make money no matter the direction.

Potential Risks and Tips

Of course, no strategy is foolproof. If volatility spikes too hard, you might face oracle drift or impermanent loss (though DLMM minimizes this). Always start small, monitor your positions occasionally, and use tools like Meteora's dashboard for insights.
