Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the antidote to emotional trading. Instead of timing the market perfectly an impossible task you invest fixed amounts at regular intervals regardless of price.

A trader investing $500 monthly in Bitcoin faces different outcomes based on timing:

  • Investing at peaks vs. valleys can create 40-50% return differences

  • DCA eliminates this guessing game by averaging out peaks and valleys

  • Over 5+ year horizons, DCA nearly always outperforms lump-sum entries

Why DCA works:

  • Removes emotion from buying decisions

  • Eliminates "fear of missing out" (FOMO) and panic selling

  • Reduces portfolio volatility by spreading entries

  • Highly effective for volatile assets like crypto

Set up automated DCA on your exchange select your assets, pick your frequency (daily, weekly, monthly), and let the algorithm handle execution. This approach transforms most traders from active market-timers to disciplined accumulators.
