DCA bot · Your settings or T-DCA presets
Blitz is a free DCA bot that runs on your own exchange account or wallet: build your own DCA ladder, or start from T-DCA (Tiered DCA), our backtested ready-to-run presets. It trades crypto futures and spot (spot is long-only) plus stock, index and gold futures. On Hyperliquid, a separate builder fee applies.
Reported historical backtest; past performance does not guarantee future results.
Set the number of entries, the gap from the previous entry and the share of capital each entry uses, plus leverage, take-profit and an optional stop-loss. Long or short on futures; long-only on spot. Backtest long setups free before you run them. Strategies you build yourself run on a live account.
Ready-to-run Tiered DCA ladders with the symbol, leverage, entries and take-profit already set. Run one as-is, or copy it and edit the copy — the original never changes. The BTC and ETH presets are the ones with published backtests, out-of-sample results and a rebuild by an analyst we paid.
Build a ladder or copy a preset, then backtest it free in the app after logging in (long setups on curated symbols). To try the workflow without real funds, pick DEMO mode during onboarding — the demo runs a ready-to-run T-DCA preset on a Bybit demo (paper trading) account.
Historical and simulated results do not guarantee live results. Demo trading is paper trading — results differ from live markets.
How the free backtester works →A DCA (dollar-cost averaging) trading bot splits a position into multiple smaller entries instead of buying in all at once. In its classic form, DCA means investing a fixed amount on a fixed schedule — every week, every month — to smooth out price swings over time.
Trading-focused DCA bots adapt the idea to positions: when price moves against an open position, the bot adds a further order at a better price. Each addition lowers the average entry, so a smaller move back can be enough to reach the configured take-profit for the whole position. That is a common loop among trading-focused DCA bots. Blitz is this second kind: it adds orders when price moves, not on a calendar.
Futures add leverage, and leverage punishes unstructured averaging. Buying on a calendar schedule ignores where price actually is; averaging down without a plan can keep adding to a losing leveraged position until liquidation. The missing piece is structure: how many additions, at which prices, at what size, and where the exit rests.
That is the question a futures DCA bot has to answer before the first order, not after.
T-DCA (Tiered Dollar-Cost Averaging) is the ladder design behind Blitz's ready-to-run presets — a structured form of DCA for automated futures position management. Instead of fixed-interval buys, it pre-plans a price-triggered ladder: a finite series of entry tiers with sizes known in advance, an averaged entry price the bot tracks continuously, and a take-profit order that rests on the exchange itself.
Tier sizes are not uniform. The base T-DCA ladder commits less capital at the first tiers and more at deeper ones, and the published BTC preset — Front Heavy — then adds extra weight to the earliest tiers of that base, a tuned variant of the standard ladder. A ladder you set up yourself does not have to follow either shape.
The ladder is finite by design — every tier, and the capital it needs, is known before the first order is placed. When price rebounds past the averaged entry, the exchange-side take-profit closes the cycle and the bot starts the next one.
| Common DCA bot setting | In Blitz |
|---|---|
| Base order | Entry 1 — its share of the bot's capital |
| Safety orders | Entries 2 to N |
| Price deviation · step scale | A gap you set for each entry, measured from the previous entry |
| Safety order size · volume scale | Each entry's share of capital (all entries add up to 100%) |
| Take profit | Take-profit %, measured as ROI on margin from the average entry (at 5x, 1.5% is a 0.3% price move) |
| Stop loss | Optional stop-loss % (not available on Bitget) |
| Leverage | Leverage (spot runs at 1x) |
| — | Max wallet usage: the share of your futures wallet the bot may use (up to 99%) |
Each bot runs one ladder on one symbol at a time.
A DCA trading bot automates dollar-cost averaging: instead of entering a position all at once, it splits the entry into multiple smaller orders. Classic DCA buys a fixed amount on a fixed schedule; trading-focused DCA bots such as Blitz place additional orders as price moves against the position, lowering the average entry so a smaller rebound can reach the configured take-profit. Blitz does not buy on a calendar schedule.
Yes. A DCA (dollar-cost averaging) bot splits a position into several entries instead of buying all at once: when price moves against the position, it adds a further order at a better price, lowering the average entry so a smaller rebound can reach the take-profit. Blitz is a DCA bot for crypto futures and spot, plus stock, index and gold futures — run your own DCA settings or start from a backtested T-DCA preset. It buys on price moves, not on a calendar schedule, and no DCA bot removes market risk.
T-DCA (Tiered Dollar-Cost Averaging) is a structured form of DCA. Instead of fixed-interval buys, it pre-plans a ladder of price-triggered entries with tiered sizing, tracks the averaged entry price, and keeps a take-profit order resting on the exchange. The ladder is finite by design — every tier is known before the first order is placed. T-DCA is how Blitz's ready-to-run presets are built; a ladder you set up yourself does not have to follow it.
No DCA bot removes market risk, and averaging into a leveraged position can amplify losses if price keeps falling. A finite, pre-sized ladder limits how much averaging can add — every entry is known before the first order is placed. The T-DCA presets are set to close on a bounce above the averaged entry rather than at a stop. A stop-loss is optional where the connected venue supports it; Bitget currently does not support stop-loss. The take-profit order, and a stop-loss on futures venues that support it, rest on the exchange, so they remain active during an outage on our side; on spot, a stop-loss is watched by our servers. Only trade with funds you can afford to risk.
Both. Build your own DCA ladder — number of entries, the gap and size of each entry, leverage, take-profit and an optional stop-loss — or start from a ready-to-run T-DCA preset and edit a copy. Backtest your settings (long setups) free in the app, with no plan-gated lookback and no monthly run quota. The published backtest results cover only the exact BTC and ETH T-DCA presets — changing inputs changes the risk and needs its own evaluation.
Sign up, open your exchange account through the Blitz partner link and connect it, then either pick a T-DCA preset or choose Create Your Own Strategy: set the symbol, direction, leverage, entries and take-profit, backtest long setups for free, and start the bot with an amount. BingX works only with partner-link accounts.
On Blitz, your own futures ladders can be long or short. The ready-to-run T-DCA presets are long-only, spot is long-only, and the free backtester currently covers long setups only.
Yes. After logging in, you can backtest your own DCA settings (long setups) for free in the strategy editor. The simulation uses one exchange's own 1-minute candles for curated symbols in supported markets — Blitz picks a representative exchange that has the symbol and names it in the result. You can test up to a year of history (366 days), depending on available data; coverage may be shorter. Simulation results do not guarantee live trading results.
Yes — you get a 3-day free trial on a Bybit demo (paper trading) account, so no real funds and no deposit are needed. It works on a Bybit account created through the Blitz referral link — just pick DEMO mode during onboarding. Demo trading is paper trading; results differ from live markets. The demo runs a ready-to-run T-DCA preset; strategies you build yourself run on a live account.
The bot is free — there is no subscription. Accounts opened through the Blitz partner link also get 20–40% of eligible trading fees back. On Hyperliquid, a separate builder fee applies. BingX works only with partner-link accounts.
Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin and Bitget support one-click OAuth (no API key to copy); BingX uses a manual API key, and Hyperliquid connects on-chain through your own wallet. Funds stay in your own exchange account or wallet — withdrawal permission is never requested.
Connect a supported exchange or wallet, build a ladder or pick a T-DCA preset, and watch it work. No subscription to cancel later — there is none.
