How it works
How a DCA Bot works on dYdX
A DCA (dollar-cost averaging) bot splits an entry or exit into a series of smaller orders instead of one lump trade. It can ladder in as price falls to average down, or scale out as it rises, smoothing your average price and taking the timing guesswork out of the trade.
On Coinner you choose price-based or time-based triggers, the order-sizing curve and safety limits. The bot then executes each leg automatically on dYdX, on schedule or as your price targets are hit.

When to use a dYdX DCA Bot
A dYdX dca bot is best for accumulating or exiting a dYdX position without trying to time the exact bottom or top. It runs in the cloud on Coinner, so it keeps working 24/7 without you leaving a machine on.
