# Intent Solvers (Makers) For actors looking to solve **Taker** intents there are some things that must be considered when developing systems to do so. ### Position Flipping Due to an invariant on the protocol side, a wallet can't flip their position from Long to Short & visa versa without waiting for the protocol to settle in between. Given this, Makers looking to handle long & short flow should maintain two wallets and net the flow. For example: | Action | Long Wallet (Maker) | Short Wallet (Short) | | --------------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | | Short 1 BTC | +1 BTC | -0 BTC | | Short 1 BTC | +2 BTC | -0 BTC | | Long 1 BTC | +1 BTC | -0 BTC | | Long 2 BTC | +1 BTC | -2 BTC | | Maker Rebalance | +0 BTC | -1 BTC | This is unwanted complexity for the **Maker** and we will look to fix this in a later version of the protocol. ### Single Position per Market An invariant of the protocol is that an account can't have multiple positions open in a market at the same time. Instead, a wallet can increase or decrease their position to modify their exposure. This is an intended behaviour of the protocol & will continue to persist. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
