# DCA

The **DCA** feature in BONKbot allows you to automate periodic buy or sell orders to smooth out the effects of market volatility and help you manage your positions more strategically.

### How It Works

1. **Enable DCA**
   * Tap the **DCA** button to activate the feature. When enabled, periodic transactions for buying or selling Bonk will be scheduled based on your configurations.
2. **Set Your Interval**
   * Choose the time interval for your DCA actions (e.g., every 1 minute). This determines how frequently BONKbot will execute a buy or sell order.
3. **Define Number of Transactions**
   * Specify the total number of transactions you want to occur within the DCA schedule. For example, setting 10 transactions with a 1-minute interval will execute one transaction every minute for the next 10 minutes.
4. **Customize Slippage Tolerance**
   * Adjust the **Slippage** settings (e.g., 10%) to control the maximum allowable price impact per transaction, ensuring trades are executed within your acceptable limits.
5. **Trigger Buy or Sell Amounts**
   * Use preset buttons to execute DCA actions. Examples:
     * **DCA Buy 0.50 SOL**: Buys the equivalent of 0.50 SOL worth of $BONK at each interval.
     * **DCA Sell 50%**: Sells 50% of your $BONK holdings gradually over the specified transactions.
