DCA
Automatic DCA Ladder for Solana Tokens
Average down in up to 4 buy steps without watching the chart.
What is DCA in REKT Bot?
DCA (dollar cost averaging) in REKT Bot is a ladder of up to 4 buy steps below your entry price. Each step buys a set amount of SOL when the price drops by the percentage you choose. Every fill lowers your average entry price, and the next steps adjust down with it. Run it as Default DCA after your buys, on a position you already hold, or like a limit order before you own the token.
How it works
01
Choose how to start
Default DCA for new buys, DCA on an open position, or DCA like a limit order.
02
Set up to 4 steps
Each step gets a drop %, a SOL amount and its own slippage, tip and priority fee.
03
Switch the steps on
Every step has its own on/off switch. Only the steps you switch on can buy.
04
A step fills
When the price drops to the step’s level, REKT buys and your average entry price goes down.
05
The next steps adjust
The remaining steps move down with your new average entry price.
Every DCA setting, per step
Steps (DCA 1 to DCA 4)
Up to 4 buy steps in one ladder. Each step has its own on/off switch.
Drop %
How far below the price the step buys. Without a position it counts from the price at the moment you set it. With an open position it counts from your average entry price.
Amount (SOL)
How much SOL the step spends when it fills.
Slippage
Slippage for this step’s buy.
Tip
Tip for this step’s transaction. A higher tip gives your buy a better position against competing traders.
Priority fee
Priority fee for this step’s transaction.
Anti-MEV
Sends the buy as a private transaction. This protects it from MEV bots, but lowers landing speed.
Expiry
Set with a quick command, from 30s up to 72h. Without it, the step expires after 3 days.
Each step is set on its own. Change one step and the other steps stay as they are.
3 ways to run DCA
Default DCA
Set a Default DCA Ladder once. It is copied onto a new DCA when you buy a token, so averaging down starts without manual setup. Switch on at least one step. With all steps off, no DCA is added.
On an open position
Add DCA to a token you already hold. Steps count from your average entry price, not the current price. Use it to catch sudden dips and improve your average cost.
Like a limit order
No position yet? Set DCA levels below the current price, for example -2% and -4%. After the first step fills you hold a position, so the next steps count from your average entry price.
You can also set each step with a quick command (/dca1 to /dca4) or place and edit DCA from the REKT Chrome Extension on GMGN, Axiom, BullX, Dexscreener, Pump.fun, Photon and more.
Example: a 4-step DCA ladder
DCA 1
-10%, buy 0.5 SOL
DCA 2
-20%, buy 0.5 SOL
DCA 3
-30%, buy 1 SOL
DCA 4
-40%, buy 1 SOL
Result: on an open position, if the price drops 10% below your average entry, DCA 1 buys 0.5 SOL and your average entry price goes down. DCA 2 to DCA 4 now count from the new average, so they move down too. If the price never drops that far, nothing is bought.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DCA ladder in REKT Bot?
A ladder of up to 4 buy steps below your entry price. Each step buys a set amount of SOL when the price drops by the percentage you choose, and every fill lowers your average entry price.
Can DCA start automatically after a buy?
Yes. Set a Default DCA Ladder and switch on at least one step. It is copied onto a new DCA when you buy a token. With all steps off, no DCA is added.
Is DCA counted from entry or current price?
Without a position, from the price at the moment you set the ladder. With a position, from your average entry price. Every fill changes your average, so the remaining steps are recalculated.
What happens after a DCA step fills?
Your average entry price goes down, and the remaining DCA steps adjust down with it.
Can I use DCA without holding the token?
Yes. Set DCA levels below the current price, for example -2% and -4%. After the first step fills, the next steps count from your average entry price.
Is there a quick command for DCA?
Yes. /dca1 to /dca4 each set one step: token, drop % and SOL amount, plus optional expiry, slippage, tip and priority fee. Without them, your default Buy settings apply. The other steps stay unchanged.
Do I need to keep Telegram open?
No. DCA runs on REKT’s side, so your steps fill even when you are offline.
