What the DCA tab is for
DCA evaluates open positions during exit monitoring. It uses current pool price, the position’s average entry, a negative loss threshold, the number of previous additions, and the last DCA time to decide whether another buy is allowed.
Reading the interface
Use each control with the rest of the automated trading pipeline in mind.
DCA controls
All four values participate in eligibility or sizing.
DCA Threshold
A value such as -10 allows DCA after the position falls beyond a 10% loss.
Max DCA Count
Caps the number of additional entries made for one position.
DCA Size and Cooldown
Size is a percentage of the initial position; cooldown enforces time between additions.
Evaluation behavior
DCA is a price-threshold rule, not a custom strategy evaluation.
Live pool price
Current P&L is calculated from the position’s average entry and current pool price.
Minimum trade size
An otherwise valid DCA is skipped if the calculated SOL amount is below the trading minimum.
Exit-monitor pass
Automatic DCA opportunities are processed with open-position monitoring.
Recommended workflow
- 1
Decide the maximum total capital you are willing to allocate after all possible DCA entries.
- 2
Set the loss threshold, maximum count, size percentage, and cooldown together.
- 3
Review the example and save the configuration.
- 4
Monitor average entry price and DCA count on open positions after execution.
Practical guidance
- DCA increases exposure to a losing asset; it does not make the asset safer.
- A larger DCA size changes average entry more, but also increases downside and liquidity risk.
- Keep a stop-loss or other exit plan that accounts for the larger total position.
Do not enable DCA only because price has fallen. The rule is mechanical and does not reassess token quality or guarantee a recovery.
