How to create a crypto DCA

Educational

This guide is for Established or Xplorer plan holders. Or Beginner plan users who have augmented with Xtra DCA.

With STRATxAI you can set up a Dollar Cost Averaging bot in minutes.

What is a DCA?

Dollar Cost Averaging is an excellent technique to decrease volatility and invest for the long term. A DCA is an investment approach that divides the total investment amount into periodic purchases. This reduces the impact of volatility of a particular asset on your overall investment.

Let's assume we want to invest $2,000 in Bitcoin. We could do this with a one-off purchase or we could divide our investment amount into smaller sums so that we get an average cost over a period of time.

Rather than investing the $2,000 at once, we could invest $50 a week for 40 weeks.

How to set up an automated DCA with STRATxAI

You will need an account set up with a cryptocurrency broker before you get started. STRATxAI offers seamless integration with Coinbase, Binance, Kucoin and Kraken.

Once you have that in place the process is easy. Simply connect your broker, choose your cryptocurrency, investment amount, and the period you want to place purchases.

Your DCA will fail until you have enough funds to cover the cost of your transaction. You can create DCAs with any fiat or stable coin the exchange supports, these include USD, EUR, GBP, USDC, USDT etc.

4. Additional DCA

From the confirmation screen, you have two options, either Set Another DCA or Finish which will take you to view your new crypto DCA portfolio.
