Simple DCA Auto-Invest is a lightweight, strictly disciplined Expert Advisor designed for long-term investors. Instead of trying to time the market, this EA uses the proven strategy of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). It buys a fixed monetary value of an asset at regular intervals, automatically calculating the correct lot size based on the current market price and contract size.
By investing a fixed cash amount, the EA naturally buys more fractions of a share/coin when the price is low, and fewer when the price is high, lowering your average entry cost over time.
Key Features:
-
True Cash-Based DCA: Set your investment amount in your account currency (e.g., $50). The EA handles the lot size math based on the symbol's contract size and minimum volume constraints.
-
Flexible Scheduling: Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly execution frequencies.
-
Precision Timing: Specify exactly which hour, day of the week, or day of the month the EA should execute your buy order.
-
Set and Forget: Ideal for brokers offering Crypto, Stocks, Metals, and Indices where long-term accumulation is desired.
-
Lightweight & Safe: Executes only once per specified period. Uses built-in MQL5 safety checks to prevent over-purchasing and respects broker minimum lot sizes.
(Note: This EA does not use martingale, grid, or risky hedging mechanics. It only executes market BUY orders on a schedule and does not automatically close trades.)
