When your liquidity goes out of the price range you set, it will be automatically converted into a net position. The direction of the net position is determined based on which end of the price range it exceeds.
For example, let's consider the WETH/USDB pair with a price range set at 2000 - 4000. If the fair price of WETH reaches 4000 or goes above it, your liquidity will be converted into a short position. On the other hand, if the fair price hits 2000 or falls below it, your liquidity will be converted into a long position.
When you remove the liquidity you provided, it is automatically converted into a net position. In order to retrieve the margin, it is advisable to close the position in trade immediately after the liquidity removal.
When the liquidity you provide goes beyond the price range you set, it is automatically converted into a net position. In the event that the liquidation price is reached, your position will be liquidated. In such cases, it's important to note that you will not receive the margin back in your account.
