Scaled Mode
Automatically spaces out DCA orders by applying consistent scaling rules.
Field | Description |
Size Type | Define DCA order size as a fixed Dollar amount or Percent of balance. |
Size | The starting size for the first DCA order. |
Deviation | Distance (%) from the previous order to the next one. |
Number of Orders | Total number of DCA orders to place. |
Maximum Active Orders | Limits the number of DCA orders that can be active at the same time. This allow you to use less margin until DCA orders are filled. |
Volume Scale | Increases size of each next DCA order exponentially (e.g. 1x, 1.5x, 2x...). For example, if you use "2" than your next DCA will be twice the size as the prior one. |
Step Scale | Increases spacing between each DCA order progressively. For example, if you first DCA is placed 5% from the entry price and you used 1.5, then your second DCA would be placed 7.5% from your first DCA. |
Use Case: Best for consistent grid-style scaling and simple pyramiding.
2. Custom Mode
Manually define each DCA order with exact size and distance.
Field | Description |
Size Type | Choose between Dollar or Percent-based sizing. |
Maximum Active Orders | Limits the number of DCA orders that can be active at the same time. This allow you to use less margin until DCA orders are filled. |
Size | The size of the specific DCA order. |
Distance | How far (in %) from the entry price to place the DCA order. |
Add Additional | Add multiple DCA layers with full control over each. |
Use Case: Ideal for advanced traders who want full precision and control.
3. Scaled ATR Mode
Volatility-based scaling using the ATR (Average True Range) indicator.
Field | Description |
Size Type | Define size as Dollar or Percent. |
Size | Starting DCA order size. |
ATR Timeframe | Choose the candle interval for ATR (e.g. 15m, 1h). |
ATR Length | How many candles to average for ATR. |
Deviation | Multiplier applied to ATR to space orders. |
Number of Orders | Number of DCA levels to generate. |
Maximum Active Orders | Limits the number of DCA orders that can be active at the same time. This allow you to use less margin until DCA orders are filled. |
Volume Scale / Step Scale | Adjust DCA order sizing or spacing progressively. |
Use Case: Dynamically adjusts DCA spacing based on market volatility.
4. Custom ATR Mode
Combine ATR logic with full customization over each order.
Field | Description |
Size Type | Choose Dollar or Percent. |
ATR Period | Number of candles to average for ATR calculation. |
ATR Timeframe | Select the timeframe for ATR (e.g. 1h). |
Minimum Percent Distance | Minimum spacing between orders. |
Size | Size of each custom DCA order. |
Deviation | % distance from entry or last DCA order. |
Add Additional | Add multiple ATR-based DCA layers manually. |
Maximum Active Orders | Limits the number of DCA orders that can be active at the same time. This allow you to use less margin until DCA orders are filled. |
Use Case: Combines volatility sensitivity with precision control over each level.
Pro Tips
Use Scaled mode for quick setup and simplicity.
Choose ATR-based modes when volatility is unpredictable.
