Notes
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) is a strategy trading feature that splits a large trade into multiple smaller orders executed at set time intervals. By spreading out your buys or sells, DCA smooths your entry cost, reduces the price impact of a single large order, and removes the need to place trades manually.
Core formula: Total trade amount = Amount per trade × Number of orders
Example: If you want to buy TRUMP tokens with 10 SOL, you can set it to buy 1 SOL worth every 1 minute for 10 orders. The first order will be triggered immediately after strategy creation, and subsequent orders follow at each interval.
