# Investing in Strategies

## How to pick a strategy to invest?

There are many factors to consider when picking a strategy, here we'll cover the most important:

#### Deposits

This is the total amount invested in the strategy. A higher deposit sum often indicates that many investors have confidence in it... or that you've stumbled upon the latest crowd favorite. Either way, it's worth noting!

#### Risk Factor

This metric estimates how likely you are to wake up in a cold sweat checking your portfolio at 3 AM. A higher risk factor means more potential volatility, which can lead to higher returns, but also higher losses. If you're new to investing, maybe start with something less risky, your future self with a positive account will thank you.

#### Tokens

The Tokens section gives you a sneak peek at what's actually in the strategy's underwear drawer. Here you'll see which tokens are included and what percentage of your funds will be allocated to each one. "60% ETH, 30% BTC, and 10% in some token that sounds like a sneeze? Interesting choice!" This preview helps you quickly identify if the strategy aligns with your crypto taste buds without having to go all the way. Want the full-frontal details about which products are using these tokens? Just click the strategy card to dive deeper and see exactly how these tokens are being put to work.&#x20;

#### Strategy Bio

Last but not least, don’t skip the strategy bio. It usually explains why the strategy was built and what it aims to achieve. This info can be really useful in deciding if it matches your investment goals.

#### Performance

Past performance gives you an idea of how volatile a strategy might be, but don’t make it your only deciding factor. Sometimes a lower-performing strategy can be a hidden gem, while other times it might be a red flag. Think of it as one clue in the bigger picture.

#### Products

Each strategy can pack up to 20 different product positions – multiple DCAs, Buy orders, and Liquidity pools. Don't just stare at each product individually, that's like watching only one scene and missing the whole plot. When checking out a strategy, look at the full package – how they've mixed quick-fix [Buy](https://docs.defihub.fi/products/buy-tokens) orders with the slow-burn of [DCA](https://docs.defihub.fi/products/dollar-cost-average-dca) and the passive action of [Liquidity](https://docs.defihub.fi/products/liquidity-provision) pools.

## How can I invest?

1. Access the Strategies page from the dashboard or through the link: [Strategies](https://www.defihub.fi/strategies/invest).
2. Choose a strategy you want to invest and click on the card.
3. Connect your wallet.
4. Enter the amount you want to invest or click "MAX" if you're feeling particularly bullish :ox:.
5. Approve the Strategies contract to spend your tokens, either by clicking "**Approve all txs**" or "**Approve one tx**", and then send the deposit transaction by clicking the "**Deposit**" button.
6. Confirm the transaction on the modal that will popup and then on your wallet.

## How to manage your positions?

In the **Positions** tab you can view all your active and closed positions in one place, both open and closed. It gives you an overview of your balances, total invested amounts, and current profits. You’ll also see which tokens you hold and easily manage each position.

#### Collect Position

Clicking the **"collect"** button will claim tokens from your position coming from the following sources:

* Tokens purchased from DCA (output tokens only, for example: WBTC in a USDC ⇒ WBTC pool)
* Tokens purchased using BUY
* Fees earned from Liquidity Pools

#### Close Position

Clicking the **"Withdraw All"** button will close the position, meaning you will collect everything, including:

* Everything from the "collect" button
* DCA input tokens (for example: USDC in a USDC ⇒ WBTC pool)
* Undo liquidity pool and get the underlying tokens (maybe make this term more readable to beginers)

#### See Detailed Position

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a highly requested feature and and is in development! Once available, it will let you explore the details of your position, from a timeline of DCA swap prices to a breakdown of liquidity fees and staked assets.
