# DCA Order

The DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) feature allows users to **automate their trading strategy** by scheduling multiple buys or sells **over a fixed period**. This minimizes the impact of volatility and helps achieve a **better average entry or exit price**.

#### Set-up Guide

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Access the DCA Tab

Navigate to either the Sell Panel or Buy Panel on the token page of the token that you want to make the DCA order. Locate and click on the DCA tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Set Total Amount (Token In)**

Specify the total volume for the entire DCA campaign:

* Buy Orders: Input the amount in Native currency (e.g., SOL).
* Sell Orders: Input the total number of Tokens you wish to offload
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Set Execution Strategy**

* **Total Orders**: Define how many individual trades will be executed.

  > Note: A minimum of 2 orders is required to activate a DCA strategy.
* **Interval (Delay)**: Set the frequency of each trade. You can choose to execute every X Minutes, Hours, or Days.
* **Min/Max MC:** To protect your trades from extreme volatility, the bot will only execute a scheduled order if the token's current Market Cap falls within your defined lower and upper bounds.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Execute Order

Once all parameters are set, click the Place Order button. Your DCA order is now active
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Example Scenario**

If you want to buy 10 SOL worth of a token over 24 hours to avoid a single large price impact:

* Total Amount: 10 SOL
* Orders: 10
* Interval: Every 2.4 Hours

**Result**: The bot will automatically execute a 1 SOL buy order every 144 minutes (2.4 hours), regardless of whether you are online.
