Core DCA runs on a schedule you set. Choose the number of orders and the interval between them. Your committed balance is divided evenly, and one order executes each interval until it’s complete.

The order schedule in the Sonar app: the amount split into equal orders.

When To Use It

Good For

  • A planned treasury exit, where timing matters more than reacting to the market

Watch Out For

  • It trades even into a weak market
  • Steady timing can become easy to spot.
