What is the DCA Bot
The DCA Bot averages into a coin as it dips and sells the whole position at one take-profit above the average cost — then repeats.
DCA stands for dollar-cost averaging. The DCA Bot buys a coin in steps as the price falls, lowering your average cost, and sells the entire position once the price rises a set percentage above that average. Then it can start a new cycle. Spot, no leverage.
How a cycle works
- Base order — the first buy when the bot starts.
- Safety orders — extra buys each time the price drops by your set %, pulling the average down.
- Take-profit — when the price rises your take-profit % above the average cost, the bot sells the whole position at once.
- Repeat — with auto-restart on, a new cycle begins after each take-profit.
How it differs from a Grid Bot
Both average down on dips. The difference is the exit: a Grid Bot sells each step on its own trailing target, while the DCA Bot sells the whole position together at one take-profit on the average cost. DCA suits a "buy the dips, take profit on the bounce" style.
