Dca Bot

DCA Bot Skill

Automated Dollar-Cost Averaging bot inspired by 3Commas, with K.I.T. enhancements.

Overview

The DCA Bot executes intelligent dollar-cost averaging strategies across any exchange. Unlike simple scheduled buys, this bot uses technical indicators and market conditions to optimize entry points.

Features

Core DCA Strategies

• Simple DCA: Buy fixed amount at fixed intervals
• Smart DCA: Buy more when price drops, less when it rises
• Indicator DCA: Only DCA when RSI is oversold or other conditions met
• Hybrid DCA: Combine time-based and condition-based triggers

Safety Orders (3Commas-style)

• Base Order: Initial buy when bot starts or signal received
• Safety Orders: Additional buys when price drops X% from entry
• Martingale: Increase safety order size by multiplier
• Max Safety Orders: Limit total number of safety orders

Take Profit Strategies

• Single TP: Exit entire position at target %
• Scaled TP: Exit in portions (25% at 3%, 50% at 5%, 25% at 10%)
• Trailing TP: Lock in profits with trailing stop
• Dynamic TP: Adjust target based on volatility

Stop Loss Options

• Hard Stop: Exit at fixed % loss
• Trailing Stop: Move stop up as price rises
• Break-even Stop: Move stop to entry after X% profit
• No Stop: Rely on DCA to average down (high risk)

Comparison: K.I.T. vs 3Commas

AI Enhancements

K.I.T.'s DCA bot goes beyond 3Commas:

1. Smart Entry: AI predicts optimal entry points using:

   • Order book analysis
   • Historical support levels
   • Whale accumulation patterns
   • News sentiment

2. Dynamic Sizing: Adjusts order size based on:

   • Current portfolio allocation
   • Risk metrics
   • Market volatility
   • Correlation with other assets

3. Cross-Market Intelligence:

   • Pauses BTC DCA if stocks crashing (correlation)
   • Accelerates DCA during fear (Fear & Greed Index)
   • Coordinates with other K.I.T. strategies
