Strategy: DCA ยท Scheduled Buys
When to use
A user asks to "buy X every week", "DCA into BTC", "scheduled buy", "accumulator", "monthly buy", or any variation that means open a position once, then keep adding to it on a calendar cadence. Not for "buy when price drops" โ that's grid trading (see grid-trading).
What it does
- Holds one open trade per pair (Freqtrade's hard rule).
- The first calendar trigger opens the trade with a small initial stake.
- Every subsequent trigger calls
adjust_trade_positionand adds the same notional to the open trade. - The position grows in fills inside a single Trade row. PnL is reported per-trade.
- Exits only when the user sets one (typically never, for true DCA โ
stoploss = -0.99and nopopulate_exit_trend).
