Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

The DCA button lets you add to an existing position, lowering your average entry price or increasing size.

How to DCA (Menu Flow)

  1. Open Sentry Menu -> DCA

  2. Paste the token address when prompted

  3. The bot executes the buy and updates the position

Requirements

  • You must be a trader

  • An active position must exist

  • Group Wallet has sufficient SOL

How It Works

  1. Bot finds the active position

  2. Uses the Group Call/DCA Amount

  3. Buys more at the current price

  4. Recalculates weighted average entry

When to Use DCA

Use DCA when:

  • Averaging down on dips

  • Adding to a winning position

  • Building a position gradually

Avoid DCA when:

  • No active position exists

  • You are adding without a plan

Where to See the Impact

Check Positions to review:

  • Updated entry price

  • Position size

  • DCA history

Common Issues

"No active position found"

  • Call the token first

  • Verify the address

"Insufficient SOL"

  • Fund the Group Wallet

  • Reduce the Call/DCA amount

Best Practices

  1. Set a max position size

  2. DCA on dips, not pumps

  3. Track updated entry in Positions


DCA is a powerful tool when used with a strategy. Plan your entries and stay disciplined.
