Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the practice of investing a fixed amount at regular intervals — say weekly or monthly — regardless of price, instead of trying to time the market with a single large purchase.

Why people use it

DCA spreads purchases across many prices, which can reduce the impact of volatility and remove the emotional pressure of timing. It is a discipline, not a guarantee of profit.

What it doesn’t do

DCA does not protect you from losses if an asset falls over the long term, and it is not a substitute for understanding what you own. In a sustained downturn you keep buying a declining asset.
