DCA Strategy

Entry Range (Optional)

• Min Price (¢): Lower bound

• Max Price (¢): Upper bound

The bot will only activate if the market price is within this range.

---

DCA Levels

Number of additional buy steps after the initial entry.

---

DCA Level Spacing (¢)

Distance (in cents) between each DCA level.

• Smaller values create tighter ladders

• Larger values spread risk over a wider range

---

Level Spacing Multiplier

Controls how spacing evolves across levels.

• 1: Equal spacing

• >1: Expanding spacing (more conservative)

---

DCA Order Size Multiplier

Controls how order size scales across levels.

• 1: Equal size

• >1: Increasing size (more aggressive averaging)

---

Ladder Preview

• Price: Entry price per level

• Avg Price: Updated average after each fill

• Shares: Position size per level

• Value (USDC): Cost per level

Risk Management

Take Profit (¢)

Profit distance added to your average entry before closing the position. Take Profit is added on top of the average entry, see the ladder preview.

---

TP Re-entry Offset (¢)

Distance after take profit before re-entering the market.

Prevents immediate re-entry in volatile conditions.

---

Profit Locking

Freezes the strategy once guaranteed resolution profit is reached.

Available in ALL mode only.

---

Stop Loss (¢)

Maximum loss distance below your average entry before exiting the position.

---

Hard SL (¢)

Absolute emergency exit price.

If the market reaches this price or worse:

• All positions are closed immediately

• All open orders are canceled

Difference from Stop Loss

• Stop Loss: Based on average entry

• Hard SL: Based on absolute market price

Use this as a fail-safe against extreme market moves.

---

Min Price Distance (MPD) (¢)

Maximum allowed deviation between the current market price and your entry price for order placement.

Prevents poor fills in fast-moving markets.

---

Min Buy Price (¢)

Lower boundary for placing any buy orders.

The bot will:

• Not place new orders below this price

• Ignore deeper DCA levels below this threshold

Used to prevent overexposure in collapsing markets.

---

Cutoff Min

Minimum number of DCA levels required before activating exit logic (e.g., take profit or stop loss).
