How the plan is built

The first safety order sits price deviation below entry. Each next gap is the previous gap times the step scale, and each next order is the previous order times the volume scale. Take profit is measured from the average entry after each fill.

FAQ

How much capital does a DCA bot need?

Enough to fill every safety order. The calculator adds the base order and all safety orders, which grow by the volume scale, and shows the total under “Capital needed”.

What happens if price falls below the last safety order?

The bot has no orders left. It holds the coins at the average price shown in the last row and waits for a bounce to take profit, or you close at a loss.

Is a higher volume scale better?

It lowers the average entry faster, so a smaller bounce reaches take profit, but it makes later orders much larger and raises the capital you must reserve.
