TL;DR: DCA is simple and steady. Active bots add intelligence — buying dips, trimming rallies, and compounding coin count. The best portfolios use both.


How DCA Works

Fixed-amount buys remove timing emotion but ignore short-term opportunity.

  • RSI Bots: Buy oversold, trim overbought.
  • Bollinger Bot: Ride breakouts after compression.
  • DCA Matrix: Ladder buys + rule-based exits.

Results Over Time

Mixed portfolios (DCA + active) typically increase coin accumulation and reduce drawdowns vs. static DCA.
