DCA INTELLIGENCE

27 of 28 sessions closed in profit, including one that deployed the full $3,200 through the crash and returned $91.13. Same market, three DCA steps: 2.5% earned $407.04, nearly double the next best.

SOL round-tripped from ~$150 down toward $100 and back to $137.86 during the April 2025 tariff shock. 5 of 6 DCA sessions closed in profit, banking $373.85 – more than 5x what simply holding SOL returned over the same month.

ZEC fell 65%, from $613.81 to $213.38, over this 3.5-month window. The DCA bot still lost $848.27 on $3,000 at risk – 57% less damage than a straight buy & hold would have taken on the same capital.

30 of 31 sessions closed in profit while XLM ground from $0.43 down to $0.36 over six months. The only thing that separated a $614 win from a $961 loss? DCA step spacing – nothing else changed.

ADA lost a quarter of its value over two months of grinding decline. The bot closed 20 of 21 sessions in profit anyway, proof that DCA step spacing, not order size, decided who survived the bleed.

ONDO’s supply shock sent it from $1.49 to $0.78 and back to $0.91 – a round trip that left buy-and-hold investors basically flat. A 1% DCA step turned that same volatility into $422.01 across 80 trades, with every single closed session hitting take-profit.

NEAR opened at $2.795 and closed at $2.813 two months later – a rounding error for a buy-and-hold investor. In between, it dropped over 30% and fought its way back, and a 3% DCA step with 9-order depth turned that round trip into $283.23 in realized profit across 21 closed sessions.

Two macro shocks in one window – a tariff-driven market crash, then the largest exchange hack in crypto history – dragged ARB down 53.74%. The DCA bot still lost $2,740.10, but held the damage to -22.82%, cutting the loss roughly in half versus simply holding the same capital.

ENA opened October 6 at $0.5838, crashed to $0.14 during the October 10 flash crash, then clawed back to $0.4824 by October 24. Our Optimized DCA bot closed 18 of 19 sessions in profit and banked $797.87 – while a buy-and-hold position on the same window was still down $486.33.

SOL fell from $203.52 to $129.42 as an 11.2-million-token FTX estate unlock hit an already-bleeding market. Six of seven DCA sessions closed in profit in the first 40 hours — then the seventh absorbed the entire 68-day crash and lost $1,200.76, dragging the bot to a $1,062.64 loss overall. It still lost roughly $2,253 less than holding the same capital in spot SOL would have.

The Bybit hack wiped out confidence and dragged LTC down 13.5% in five weeks. 29 of 30 DCA sessions still closed in profit – but the one session still open when the backtest ended tells you exactly what a real black swan costs.

139 of 140 sessions closed in profit, even as TAO round-tripped from a near-$300 high back down to a 17% loss for anyone just holding. The bot’s edge: a 1.5% step tight enough to catch every leg on the way down.
