What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?

DCA, or Dollar Cost Averaging, is a simple trading strategy that helps you build or unwind a position while minimizing market risks. This strategy spreads out orders at regular intervals over time, so your position is less affected by market timing. If you're looking to build savings and wealth in the long term, this bot is for you.

  3. Begin the setup process by choosing from the different AI strategies

What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with the pre-set parameters?

You can tweak the respective fields to change things like how often your entries are triggered and the margins for take-profit targets, as per the martingale strategy.

Once you're finished, confirm your order by inputting the amount that you're comfortable trading using the bot.

How does OKX's AI strategy adapt to my risk profile and trading preferences?

OKX's unique AI strategy will present you with preset parameters determined by the risk profile you've selected. These parameters are tailored to individuals with varying risk appetites and will impact the frequency of trades made.

For traders with additional technical analysis knowledge, they may opt to base their trigger entries on technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
