Accumulation
Dip-biased, buy-only accumulation — like DCA, but it waits for weakness.
What is Accumulation?
Accumulation is a one-sided, buy-only strategy biased toward weakness. Like DCA, it spends quote to buy the base asset on a cadence — but it only fires when the price has pulled back, and it caps how high it will ever buy. The goal is a lower average entry than pure DCA by concentrating buys on dips.
The difference from DCA is the discipline. DCA buys on every scheduled tick regardless of price; Accumulation adds a required dip and a hard ceiling, so it waits for the market to come to it instead of buying into strength.
How to set it up
Buy size
quote token, e.g. USDCHow much quote to deploy on each accumulation buy.
Check cadence
interval, default every 6 hoursHow often the bot checks for an accumulation opportunity.
Only buy after a dip of
optional, %If set, only buy once the base asset has fallen at least this far since the last buy. The dip is measured relative to your previous buy price, so each buy resets the reference.
Price ceiling
optional, quote tokenIf set, the bot never buys at or above this base-asset price — a hard cap so you never chase.
When to use it
Accumulating on dips
Ranging or downward-drifting markets where the dip trigger keeps catching pullbacks.
Beating pure DCA
When you want a lower average cost by concentrating buys on weakness instead of every tick.
Patient position building
Slowly accumulating a target position over time without forcing every entry.
Buying fear systematically
Buying weakness on rules, not emotion, so you keep deploying when others hesitate.
Relentless uptrends
Price never dips enough, so the dip trigger keeps it waiting and it may under-deploy.
Capturing swings
It never sells, so it won't book profit on rallies. Use Grid if you want two-sided swings.
Dip trigger too large
A dip threshold set too high can mean it rarely buys — leaving quote idle for long stretches.
Best time to use Accumulation
- You expect volatility and dips, and you want to buy them.
- You're accumulating a long-term position and want a better entry than DCA.
- You want a hard ceiling so you never chase price.
- Ranging or gently declining markets.
