Stressed when the market dips after your initial buy? 📉
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is the structured way to build a position by buying smaller amounts over time across different price levels, instead of using all your capital at once.
Here is how you build a resilient DCA strategy with WolfBot:
1. WolfBot manages this sequence by treating it as smaller sub-orders. Technical users will see each slice tracked individually with a unique dca_index starting at 1.
2. When the price drops, subsequent DCA slices automatically buy at lower prices. This effectively lowers your overall average entry cost, removing the stress of timing the perfect entry point.
3. You must decide on and configure your risk controls beforehand, as the total position size across all slices is capped by your set exposure limit.
4. Remember that DCA does not mean ignoring risk management. The entire sequence of buys remains subject to your overall risk controls, including your total position size cap and any established drawdown guard. ⚠️
5. You must still apply a stop-loss to the entire position, even with automated buying slices in place. ✅
