I found out that in DCA, it's also possible to buy when the price is at the dip. This means that we can expect a short pump and we can sell our btc for short term gains but I think most of the time, DCA users don't mind if the price is high or low but what is important for them is to follow their buying schedule. They are in for long term anyway so they know that the price can always rise higher than on what they currently or previously see.

I believe that DCA got even more popular this year because people starting to get that the bear persists to continue so instead of their usual strategy which is to all in, they try this new start called DCA and slowly accumulate after each decline.

DCA is more technical than it seems what if after a short term profit price continues to pump there will be a temptation to buy not minding if that will be the highest price will pump to. DCA is a strategy that is applied to keep buying at intervals, if we apply DCA for a short term gain then it will be a complete waste of investment because DCA requires buying small as soon as price dips

Hello Leo! You can still win.

Dollar cost averaging is very important especially when you don't know the direction of the market whether the volatility is going up or is coming down. When you are totally blanked out at the market movements and you don't want to miss some opportunities and at the same time you don't want to lose big amount of money, you have no option than to use dollar cost averaging.

It is another proven strategy for long-term investors who has fixed weekly or monthly income. This is a perfect situation where dollar cost averaging works effectively. You wouldn't mind the market condition since you have a fixed amount of money you invest weekly or monthly.

Even if you do DCA then of course you would be finding the lowest price as possible which you could really that maximize profitability once the market tends to recover.Although this strategy isnt for all considering

that not all the times we do really have the funds or money for us to invest on the said situation or condition.You can DCA but of course if you do have the money to invest on.

Just like me on which i had put up all the funds i do have allocated for investment and suddenly i do find out an opportunity for me to get in? Then, there nothing i can do but to
see those opportunities to go by since i dont have the funds.

In this case, it is necessary to correctly set the price zone, after reaching which you will start using the DCA strategy. If you started averaging your position from $50000, then you probably have no money left to continue shopping at the current price level.

DCA gets popular when the price is plummeting because it is one of the best strategies to lower the price of our investment especially when we get in at a higher market price. Usually, those who DCA keep on holding their previously bought coins and just accumulate when the price plummets.

This is the right thing to do, another problem of the DCA strategy is that it is going to take a lot of time before you see positive results, and this is unbearable for the people of today that want everything to be handed to them right now, so DCA is not really a popular strategy with those which lack patience as they think it is too slow, but if you can keep buying a little bit of bitcoin every single month you will see that when the bull run finally comes you will have a decent stash and your profits will be very high.

Waiting for a longer time and knowing that doing that will yield a higher return is not unbearable to anyone. Those who don't have patience are people who lack knowledge about the market and since they lack knowledge, they do not find any valid reason why they need to have patience.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy that is considered by many as a good and simple strategy, and widely in use by investors. It entails investing a given amount of money in a particular security for a given period of time regardless of price. Why most investors consider this strategy is a thing of curiosity.

You may want to know, it helps you develop self discipline (esp as a newbie) while considering the market and your tolerance to risk. Emotion can play a substantial trick in disadvantaging investment decisions. DCA can counter this impact.

Another good thing is that it lessens the impact of volatility as the total investment sum is spread over multiple purchases of the security. This strategy can be very effective if employed during bearish market.

Lastly, the strategy can be applied in any crypto investment, bonds, stocks or any commodities. It's a fine choice! However, you can always stick to what is best for you as an individual.

I've been doing DCA since May 2022 with Bitcoin. As long I can afford every month, I can DCA at least a percentage of my monthly earnings to Bitcoin in order to build and accumulate wealth.

I really don't mind about the price of Bitcoin right now because I am thinking long-term despite the uncertainties of the market these days. They say that the best time to accumulate is when things are going quiet, but that's not always the case. Even if so, I would still buy BTC with my extra "not beer" money.

This is the right thing to do, another problem of the DCA strategy is that it is going to take a lot of time before you see positive results, and this is unbearable for the people of today that want everything to be handed to them right now, so DCA is not really a popular strategy with those which lack patience as they think it is too slow, but if you can keep buying a little bit of bitcoin every single month you will see that when the bull run finally comes you will have a decent stash and your profits will be very high.

On the other hand, the DCA does not have to be exactly the same all the time. If you have $100 to invest per month, you don't have to limit yourself to that amount if at some point you have more money available, especially in bear markets like now which are better times to buy.

I think it is highly inadvisable to invest all the money in bitcoins if they do not have sufficient reserves for their daily life.

The idea of DCA is to prevent investors from investing all their into the market (either crypto, bonds, or stock) and that's what the above was saying. He just trying to advise people not to always invest a certain amount all the time but if we look into what DCA really means it is simply an investment strategy of equal fiat amounts on an asset at a certain duration.
Having said that, what's important is the discipline that the DCA involves if people have the capacity to increase their weekly or monthly DCA amount they can.

And this is what makes this strategy so difficult to implement even if on the surface it seems like it is something easy to do, and what better example of this than exercise, whenever there is a new year people make purposes for the upcoming year and for many this includes visiting the gym regularly, and during the first month you will see the gym being completely packed with new people, but then as time passes you will see that out of all the new people only a handful still come to the gym after a few months since they lack the discipline to keep exercising, and the same applies to the DCA strategy.

Honestly, the DCA strategy I never something difficult but it is the discipline that involves the routing that makes appear to be difficult, and the people who are hard to maintain discipline could always set a certain goal once the goal is achieved they can skip the DCA for some time and later proceed when they are set for another phase.

The hardest part when you do DCA is having the money or capital since we cant really be having that huge capital or money for you to make use even if you've been deciding to have that DCA or buying on those dip or

decline prices.Some had already make use all of their money which had invested on the higher price and when the market goes down and even if they wanted to invest but still there's no money that they had on their

pocket and this is why some do really consider on taking up some loan which is something not that suggestible or recommendable to do so because we cant really be sure on when the market
will really be making out some recovery and if you could repay those loans or borrowed money on time without relying into your crypto investment then it should be fine.

In my estimation, DCA is a great strategy but works better for people who are inclined to buy high and then proceed to sell low. Also, when we talk about volatile markets and short-term investing, this is the most convenient strategy that I have found, I have been curious to know. Does anyone use a DCA calculator or just DCA randomly? For those who have used both methods, which did you like the most?

DCA(Dollar cost average) remains the best way to properly manage your risk while trading cryptocurrency and also becoming profitable too. This involves making a new entry at every new level a particular price is attained. This will help manage your risk of liquidation while trading futures too and also help you manage your loss while holding your spot bags.

For people who don't know the idea of DCA would probably see it as a thing of curiosity, but once they have known the fundamentals of it, then they would understand why a lot of people start to use it for investing and continue to do it for a long time no matter what the cycle of the market is.

I think it's not just during the bear market but also the bullish one, depending on the duration of it. If you believe in what you are investing in, you should continue it and manage your risk.

I thought I have said on this thread how DCA may not be helpful after a massive long term bull market. Example are people that saw bitcoin to be profitable and started to DCA in 2020 when bitcoin increased above $30000. No matter how the DCA is, about the investment from that time to now, the person is losing by now. It can be unrealized loss, but it could be for a long time. If it is crypto, best to follow the trend. Like now, DCA is very good, but not during bulls time.

Quote from: LastKiss on October 19, 2022, 02:32:58 AM

Well since we don't know the bottom yet and some analysts said that we still didn't been at the bottom yet it's better to use the DCA strategy if we want to long term investments. the crypto market is still uncertain and very volatile right now because something affect the market from external

This is a very good idea, in a period like this, DCA is very good. We may not know the bottom, bitcoin may still fall below $19000 again, but $19000 is already low. DCA can be very effective and profitable this time, but investing at $19000 won't lead to loss after many months has passed.

The DCA strategy is indeed often used for gradual purchases, that is, so that the price obtained is of various prices, and by using the DCA technique, of course, it will reduce the high risk in purchasing, and indeed very many use the DCA system, which is not just novice investors, who use the DCA system, but most of the big investors use the DCA system in their purchases.

We know that capital isnt infinite this is why making such action or step shouldnt really be done in haste or else you would definitely be still hanging on the upper portion if the market would comes even to its worst.

Yes, this had been pretty common if we do speak about DCA but not all would really be that confident on doing so.You do have the money but making such action will
always be raising up some questions.

Quote from: Poker Player on October 18, 2022, 02:54:32 AM

I have been doing DCA for a long time and in this regard I wanted to make two points.

The first is that DCA is the most feasible for most people, because few, especially retail investors, have a good lump sum to invest all at once. So, investing little by little as you save money is the most logical thing to do.

On the other hand, the DCA does not have to be exactly the same all the time. If you have $100 to invest per month, you don't have to limit yourself to that amount if at some point you have more money available, especially in bear markets like now which are better times to buy.

I will try with the DCA strategy for a long time but this time I still haven't walked 1 year so it's still in the process stage to continue long term.

This method is quite simple and easy. I think that many investors do the same thing with DCA practices so that they can save on routine purchases. Let's assume that what they do monthly is clear to me a savings in Bitcoin hoarding which is often called DCA for long-term accumulation.

Weekly will be good enough to invest in DCA but it depends on investors to choose it myself weekly becomes an option in DCA investment with a nominal that is not large but every week that my BTC will continue to grow non-stop, of course I try not to stop in the middle of the road any condition including when the price has gone up eg $50k or more.

I just want this bear market for a long time, because I want to buy Bitcoin with more dollars (lol) but whatever it is I have to stay consistent in DCA practice.

I think it is highly inadvisable to invest all the money in bitcoins if they do not have sufficient reserves for their daily life. Investors know that prices will still fluctuate, meaning they will go down or up without anyone knowing for sure. So setting up an investment for an amount you can afford to lose has actually been suggested quite often and I don't think they should be so greedy for it.

No one will ask you to invest everything in bitcoin, of course it is risky. You don't have to sell your house, land, car, gold or other physical investment assets to invest in bitcoin because you can still invest as little as you want. The more you invest, the more bitcoin you will collect, and when the bull market starts, you will make a profit.

Bitcoin whales are called smart because they continue to buy and collect as many bitcoins as possible during a bear market, they will hold it for the long term and they will take huge profits when the market is bullish. It's just that, you may not be able to be like them but maybe you can always invest whatever your funds are capable of.
