🔀 DCA vs strategy execution. Different jobs entirely.
DCA buys a fixed amount on a fixed schedule.
Every Monday, same size, regardless of price.
It solves one problem: your timing.
You stop trying to pick the bottom because the schedule decides for you.
🚫 What it doesn't do: react.
DCA buys the same way in a crash and a rally.
It has no exit logic. You're accumulating, not trading.
Strategy execution enters and exits based on conditions, not a calendar.
It sizes positions, sets stops, and closes trades.
🆚 DCA is for building a position in something you want to hold for years.
Strategy execution is for trading, where getting out matters as much as getting in.
Different tools. Many people use both.
