📌 What’s the Difference Between DCA and Martingale? Both DCA and Martingale are averaging strategies that increase positions when the price moves against the original trade.
📌 The difference lies in how the position size is increased: - DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): intervals with fixed or gradually increasing sizes. It focuses on risk control and stable recovery. - Martingale: Doubles the position size with each new entry. It aims for faster breakeven but carries higher risk if the trend continues against the position.
