¿Qué es Dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
Buying a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price, so purchases average out over time.
DCA removes timing decisions, which is its real benefit: it is a behavioural tool more than a mathematical one. It reduces the risk of committing everything at a single unfortunate moment.
It does not guarantee a profit and does not protect against a sustained decline. Our converter includes a DCA view that shows what a schedule would have accumulated historically — a description of the past, not a projection.
