Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Strategy

What you’ll learn

• •DCA (or 'pound-cost averaging') means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of the current price.
• •It removes the pressure and near-impossibility of trying to time the market perfectly, as established on Day 50.
• •Mechanically, it smooths your average entry price by buying through both high and low points over time.
• •It offers a real psychological benefit: a simple, automatable habit that reduces emotional, reactive trading.
• •DCA won't always beat a perfectly-timed lump sum (a steadily rising market favours lump-sum, in hindsight) — but predicting that in advance is extraordinarily difficult.
• •Consistency is the whole point: pick an affordable amount and a schedule, and stick to it through both calm and exciting months.
