# 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.
