[Simple DCA Strategy]How to Create a Simple DCA？

Creating a Simple DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy on BigONE is straightforward. The core setup involves defining two key components — buying rules and selling rules.
Even beginners can easily get started by following the clear step-by-step process below.

1. Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Simple DCA Strategy

(Example based on a typical exchange interface)

Step 1: Open the Simple DCA Page
Open the BigONE App or website, go to the “Trading” section, and select “DCA” or “Simple DCA.”
Click to enter the strategy creation interface.

Step 2: Set Core Parameters
There are two main steps:

1. Set Buying Rules (Required) — defines how to buy.
2. Set Selling Rules (Optional) — defines how to sell.

Step 3: Confirm and Create
Review all settings carefully, then click “Create Strategy.”
Once confirmed, the system will display “Strategy Activated” and automatically execute buy/sell operations according to your rules.

2. Key Parameters and Their Functions

(A) Buying Rules — Required (4 Core Parameters)

Buying rules determine what to buy, when to buy, and how much to buy.
These form the foundation of the Simple DCA strategy.

1. Choose Token

Select one target token from the supported list (e.g., BTC, ETH, USDT).
Simple DCA supports single-token investments only.
Ensure the selected token fits your long-term investment goals (avoid low-liquidity or unstable tokens).

Purpose: Defines the investment target. It’s recommended to choose major or fundamentally strong assets.

2. Choose DCA Type (Two Options)

Time-Based DCA:
Buy at fixed time intervals — e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly — at a specific execution time (e.g., every Monday at 14:00).
Purpose: Ideal when price trends are uncertain; “time diversification” reduces entry risk (e.g., buying on the 1st of every month avoids missing entries due to emotional hesitation).

Price-Based DCA:
Buy when the token price enters a preset range (e.g., when BTC < 30,000 USDT) or when it moves by a specific amount (e.g., every 500 USDT drop).
Purpose: Ideal for users who prefer “buying the dip.” For example, set BTC 25,000–30,000 USDT to only buy during low-price ranges and reduce the average cost.

3. DCA Frequency / Cycle

• For time-based DCA: choose daily, weekly, or monthly (e.g., weekly = buy once per week).
• For price-based DCA: define trigger intervals (e.g., every $500 drop or every 2% drop).

Purpose: Controls buying frequency.
Higher frequency (e.g., daily) smooths cost more evenly but uses funds faster;
lower frequency (e.g., monthly) is more capital-efficient but averages costs less effectively.

4. Investment Amount per Purchase

Enter the investment amount per DCA (e.g., 100 USDT or 500 USDT).
It must meet the platform’s minimum requirement (e.g., at least 10 USDT) and fit within your financial plan.

Purpose: Defines the size of each purchase.
It’s recommended to use disposable or monthly savings — e.g., if you save 1,000 USDT monthly, set 500 USDT per DCA, split into two purchases.

(B) Selling Rules — Optional (3 Core Parameters)

Selling rules determine when and how much to sell, helping you lock in profits and manage losses.
You can choose to enable or disable auto-sell depending on your investment goal.

1. Enable Auto-Sell (Two Options)

• Enable: The system automatically sells once conditions are met.
• Disable: Only buy orders are executed; sales must be done manually.
• Purpose:Enable auto-sell if you want to secure profits automatically or avoid missing sell opportunities.
  Keep it off if you plan to hold long term and sell manually when desired.

2. Sell Trigger Conditions (Required if Auto-Sell is Enabled)

• Price Trigger:
  Set a target price to trigger the sale (e.g., sell when BTC reaches 40,000 USDT).
• Profit Ratio Trigger:
  Set a profit percentage target (e.g., sell when profit reaches 15%).
• Purpose: Defines when to sell.
  Profit-based triggers are flexible for long-term investing, while price-based triggers are straightforward for users with clear price targets.

3. Sell Amount / Ratio

• By Quantity: Specify the exact number of tokens to sell (e.g., sell 0.01 BTC).
• By Ratio: Specify the percentage of holdings to sell (e.g., sell 50% or sell all).

• Purpose: Controls how much to sell.
  Selling part of your holdings (e.g., 50%) lets the rest ride future gains, while selling all ends the strategy — suitable for users who prefer to “take profit and exit.”

3. Notes After Strategy Creation

1. Fund Preparation
The system deducts funds from your spot account during each buy.
Ensure sufficient balance in the funding currency (e.g., have enough USDT if buying BTC) to prevent order failure.

2. Modifying Parameters
If you wish to adjust parameters (e.g., change investment amount or target price) after creation,
go to “Active Strategies”, find your DCA plan, and click “Edit Parameters.”
Changes take effect immediately after saving.
