SmartDCA by TradeAkademiSmartDCA is a single-direction (Long or Short) step-based DCA strategy with adaptive take-profit and structured risk management.
All core parameters are fully user-configurable. The strategy logic does not enforce a fixed trading style; behavior depends entirely on user-selected settings.
General Structure
The strategy operates in one direction at a time (Long or Short).
All position management logic is applied relative to the selected direction.
The following components are fully controlled by the user:
Trade direction (Long / Short)
Entry model
Entry filters
Take-profit percentage
DCA distance percentage
TP/DCA increment scaling mode
Order size model
Maximum DCA steps
Risk management options
Exit model selection
The strategy plan is visualized either across the entire chart history or within a user-defined custom backtest date range.
Entry Configuration
Users can select the entry model:
Structural breakout
RSI reversal
Trend flip
None (manual disable)
Optional entry filters refine signal selection based on:
Reward space
Entry quality
RSI extremity
Fair value (VWMA)
Trend alignment
DCA & Position Scaling
After initial entry:
Additional DCA orders are triggered when price deviates from the average position price by the defined DCA percentage.
DCA distance and take-profit levels expand step-by-step according to the selected scaling mode.
Order size progression depends on the selected order size model.
Maximum DCA steps define the upper exposure limit.
This ensures the full theoretical risk is bounded and visible.
Exit Models
Users can choose the exit behavior:
Fixed take-profit
Structure-based exit
Adaptive Fast
Adaptive Slow
Protect Profit
Trend Ended
None
All exits are executed using market orders.
Additional Risk Controls
Optional risk features include:
DCA Compression (partial size reduction after recovery)
Defensive Profit Exit
Trend Soft Stop (breakeven protection after trend reversal)
These mechanisms are configurable and do not override the predefined maximum DCA limit.
Visualization & Reporting
The strategy provides:
Active position tracking
DCA step monitoring
Position notional transparency
Trend strength visualization
Historical DCA performance summary
Users may restrict execution to a custom backtest range or allow the strategy to operate across the full visible chart history.
Risk Disclosure
The maximum DCA step defines the full predefined risk envelope.
Strong and sustained one-directional trends may lead to full DCA utilization.
The strategy does not attempt unlimited recovery.
Users are responsible for configuring position sizing and DCA parameters relative to their capital.
