Funding & withdrawing

How money moves into and out of your Automator — always under your control.

Your funds live in your Automator. This page covers how they get in and how you get them out.

Funding

You fund an Automator by depositing tokens into it (the open flow does this for you, but you can also deposit directly). Deposited tokens that aren't yet in a position sit as idle balances inside your Automator.

When you open a position, idle tokens are used to mint the concentrated-liquidity position. Leftovers (because positions take a specific token ratio) remain as idle balances.

Withdrawing

Withdrawals are owner-only and unconditional — you can pull funds out whenever you like:

• Withdraw idle tokens — recover any idle balance to your wallet.
• Withdraw the position NFT — pull your live position out of the Automator entirely.
• Close + withdraw — from the Manage page you can rebalance, compound, or withdraw with a click.

The keeper can never withdraw on your behalf — only you can. See Security model.

Recovering DCA-armed funds

If you armed a DCA entry (Buy the dip) but the dip hasn't triggered — or you changed your mind — your deposited funds are sitting idle in the Automator, fully recoverable. The Manage page shows a "DCA armed" state with the deposited balances and Withdraw buttons. Your funds are never stuck.

Idle balances after automation

Some automations intentionally leave balances idle:

• Auto-accumulate banks earned fees as idle tokens (instead of reinvesting) — withdraw them anytime. See Auto-accumulate.
• Take-profit / stop-loss closes your position to a single token, held as idle until you withdraw. See Take-profit / Stop-loss.
