Algorithm DCA+ In: Learn More

Let our machine learning DCA algorithms invest for you.

What is DCA+?

DCA+ is a series of strategies that take advantage of cutting-edge statistical and Machine Learning techniques with the aim of improving returns without sacrificing the favorable risk profile of a conventional DCA approach. With a DCA+ strategy, live data is used to update capital allocation dynamically, through modification of both buy-amount and time-of-buy. Our algorithms continuously monitor trends and data so that you don’t have to!

In short:

The non-custodial, dynamic DCA algorithm that outperforms traditional DCA by 20% on average, while maintaining the same favourable risk profile.

More assets, no added risk.

Key points

  • We monitor data - both on and off-chain - on a wide range of variables associated with crypto and stock market performance
  • We process the data with a range of tools, from simple statistical methods to advanced machine-learning techniques and genetic algorithms
  • This processed data is used to inform the next buy amount in the strategic allocation of a user’s deposited sum
  • Each strategy has been tested comprehensively, using a combination of back-testing and historical sampling methods to ensure that each stands the best chance of outperforming a conventional DCA approach.
  • Note that because buy-amount and time-of-buy are not linear in DCA+ strategies, the time to allocate a user’s total capital will vary depending on market conditions. On average, most of our DCA+ strategies will deploy a user’s total capital over a period of 4-6 months.

Frequently asked questions

When is DCA+ going live?

The whitelist spots open on March 30th 2023. Be sure to follow the Calculated Finance Twitter account to be first in.

What happens if slippage is exceeded?

One of the many safety mechanisms that CALC puts in place is slippage which you can customise in advanced settings on step 2 of setting up the strategy.

If the slippage tolerance is exceeded then CALC will skip the swap for that interval and your strategy will extend for 1 more interval.

Do you support Ledger for Autostaking?

As we use the cosmWasm module AuthZ, Ledger is not yet compatible. After cosmWasm v 0.47 this will be supported automatically. This is scheduled for the start of Jan 2023.

What happens if I cancel a vault?

If you cancel a vault, your remaining funds are returned to your wallet minus a small cancellation fee.

How does the algorithm work?

This is the CALC special sauce.

What assets will you support?

In the beginning we will support large market cap coins such as BTC, ETH, ATOM etc. This slower roll out will ensure that we can continuously focus on training the model and personalising it per asset. The smaller market cap coins can be heavily influenced by market sentiment and this makes it difficult to predict.
