DCA
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) is an automated trading strategy in which the bot opens trades at predefined time intervals using fixed-size orders. This approach allows you to build a position gradually and reduce the impact of short-term market fluctuations on the final entry price.
The strategy can operate either without price limits or within a specified price range. An additional option is available to prevent the average entry price from worsening while building the position.
How the Strategy Works
The bot places an initial (IN) order according to the selected trading direction.
Then, new orders are placed at the specified time intervals.
All orders are fixed-size by default.
If needed, the bot can:
operate only within a specified price range;
limit position building based on the average entry price;
stop running once predefined profit or loss conditions are met.
Trade Frequency
Determines how often the bot places new orders.
Key details:
the first order is placed at the nearest time that matches the selected interval (UTC);
for intervals from 30 minutes to 12 hours, the order is placed in the nearest “exact” interval slot;
for the once-per-day mode, the order is always placed at 00:00 UTC.
Number of Cycles
Determines how many trading cycles the bot will execute at the specified frequency.
once the specified number of cycles is reached, the bot stops placing new orders;
the “Unlimited” value means the strategy runs indefinitely.
In PRO mode, additional position and risk management parameters become available, described in the “Bot Settings” section.
