DCA Strategy

Overview

The DCA Strategy automatically purchases Bitcoin at regular intervals using a sophisticated algorithm that adjusts the purchase amount based on market conditions and price predictions.

How It Works

Core Algorithm

1. Balance Monitoring: Continuously monitors USDC balance across specified chains

2. Trigger Detection: Executes when USDC balance exceeds the trigger amount

3. Intelligent Amount Calculation: Adjusts purchase amount based on BTC price predictions

4. Market Execution: Swaps USDC for wBTC using optimal DEX routing

5. Performance Tracking: Records execution details and portfolio impact

Intelligent DCA Logic

The strategy uses AI-powered price predictions to optimize purchase timing:

Standard DCA

• Condition: BTC price change < ±0.2%

• Action: Purchase trigger amount (e.g., 5 USDC)

• Use Case: Normal market conditions

Aggressive DCA

• Condition: BTC expected to rise > 0.2%

• Action: Increase purchase by 20% (e.g., 5 → 6 USDC)

• Use Case: Bullish market conditions

Conservative DCA

• Condition: BTC expected to fall > 0.2%

• Action: Decrease purchase by 20% (e.g., 5 → 4 USDC)

• Use Case: Bearish market conditions

Configuration Parameters

Required Settings

• Trigger Amount: Minimum USDC balance to trigger DCA (e.g., 5 USDC)

• Trigger Chain: Blockchain network for USDC balance monitoring

• Max Amount: Maximum purchase amount per execution (optional)

Optional Settings

• Allowed Chains: Specific chains for execution

• Custom Prompt: Additional strategy instructions

Execution Flow

1. Check USDC Balance

6. Record Transaction & Update Portfolio

Example Execution

Input

• Trigger Amount: 5 USDC

• Available Balance: 52 USDC

• BTC Prediction: +0.28% in 8 hours

Execution

1. Strategy: Aggressive (0.28% > 0.2%)

2. Purchase Amount: 6 USDC (5 × 1.2)

3. Swap: 6 USDC → 0.0006 wBTC

4. Result: Portfolio optimized with increased BTC exposure
