Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
DCA lets you automatically split a buy order into smaller purchases over time, reducing the impact of price volatility and smoothing out your entry.
Instead of aping in all at once, DCA spreads your buys across a set duration - so you're not trying to time the perfect entry.
How it Works:
Choose Order Type (Buy/Sell) and Select the DCA tab in the ticket
Enter your total quantity (e.g., 50 USDC)
Set your Duration (e.g., 120 mins)
Set your Trade Segments - the number of segments to split your trade order into (or leave on "auto" and Definitive will choose the optimal number of segments)
Submit and let Turbo execute trades automatically over the specified timeframe
Use Cases:
Averaging in/out of a position: Accumulate or exit over time instead of buying the top or selling the bottom
Reducing risk: Spread entries across multiple price points to minimize impact of short-term swings
Set and forget: Eliminate the need to manually place multiple orders or watch charts
