Clarification on DCA Strategy Changes in SageMaster

Dear SageMaster Team and Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to bring to your attention a change I’ve observed in how the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy functions on the SageMaster platform, and seek clarification on whether this is an intentional update or possibly a technical issue. And find my message as a Feedback and proposal as well.

Previously, the DCA strategy on SageMaster worked as follows:

  • Upon executing an initial order, a Take Profit (TP) was set, for example, at 1%. If the market price reached the TP, the trade would close as expected.

  • However, if additional orders were executed during the trade, the TP would adjust dynamically based on the average purchase price, calculated from the initial order and the extra orders. The goal remained the same—achieving the original percentage of profit (e.g., 1%)—but now it would be based on the new average price (DCA).

OLD DCA (Same Assist)

For example:

  1. Initial Order:

    • 12.06 USDT at a price of 26.22 USDT, resulting in 0.46 AVAX, with a Take Profit initially set at 26.88 USDT for a 2.5% gain.

    • Average price = 26.22 USDT.

  2. Additional Orders:

    • 11.98 USDT at 26.04 USDT,

    • 24.2 USDT at 25.75 USDT,

    • 48.27 USDT at 25.27 USDT.

    • These additional orders brought the average price down to 25.81 USDT with a total volume of 96.51 USDT.

    The Take Profit then adjusted to 26.46 USDT based on the new average price. However, as shown in the platform's interface, the actual TP was set to 26.24 USDT. This clearly demonstrates that the TP adjusted dynamically based on the new DCA price. (96.51 Volumen - 98.92 sold = 2.41 = 2.5% profit)


NEW DCA (Same Assist)

Recently, however, I’ve noticed a different behavior. In a similar scenario with the same assistant, the TP no longer adjusts after additional orders are executed. Instead, the TP remains fixed at its original value, regardless of how many extra orders are placed.


To summarize:

  • Previously: The DCA strategy adjusted the Take Profit based on the average purchase price, ensuring the profit target was met even with market fluctuations (Dynamic TP).

  • Currently: The Take Profit seems to remain static, regardless of additional orders (Static TP).

Both strategies are valid:

  1. Dynamic TP: Adjusting the TP based on the average price helps mitigate market volatility by moving the target as new orders are executed.

  2. Static TP: Keeping the TP fixed could potentially maximize profits, as it does not account for additional purchases and assumes the initial target will still be reached.

I am seeking clarification as to whether this change in the DCA strategy is an intentional update or the result of a system error.

Even if it were the case, my approach would serve as an idea to implement these dynamic TP or Fixed TP options.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to any insights the team or community can provide.

Best regards,
Italo Ferrari
