Dollar cost averaging is simply deciding how much you want to invest and then dividing it into regular contributions over a given period of time.
ie I want to invest $8000 this year into Tesla so I will make biweekly contributions of $307.69.
This method is supposed to lower your risk with respect to volatility but imagine doing that with a stock that continues to lose value over time - you're giving away your money.
I think the DCA strategy only works when markets are in an uptrend... but I'm no expert.
