Load this exact public contract, mutate it locally and settle the duel on the same unseen holdout.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is a progressive accumulation strategy that invests a fixed amount at regular intervals in Bitcoin, Ethereum or other cryptos, regardless of market price. This method smooths the average entry price and reduces the impact of crypto volatility. DCA is favored by institutional and retail investors as the most rational approach to accumulating digital assets — avoiding the 'market timing' trap that causes most traders to lose money.
Each period (simulated hour/day), the strategy invests a fixed fraction of capital. In bear markets, it accumulates more units at low prices. In bull markets, it buys fewer units but profits from the rise on accumulated stock. The average price naturally converges to the market mean.
No directional technical signals. Automatic purchase at fixed intervals. The only parameters are investment frequency and amount per period. Independent of market conditions.
