+# Anderson DCA Strategy
+
+### So how does ANDERSON-DCA Strategy works?
+You first need to setup your tier triggers, you can list as many as you want.
+We will use the following as an example for DCA.properties configuration
+
+`enabled = true`  
+`max_cost = 0`  
+`max_buy_times = 5`  
+`buy_strategy = ANDERSON`  
+`buy_style = DOUBLEDOWN`  
+`buy_trigger_1 = -3.5`  
+`buy_trigger_2 = -4.5`  
+`buy_trigger_3 = -4.5`  
+`buy_trigger_4 = -5.5`  
+`buy_trigger_5 = -5.5`  
+`sell_strategy = GAIN`  
+`sell_value = 0.8`  
+`sell_trigger = 0.8`  
+`max_buy_spread = 2`  
+`trailing_profit = 0.2`  
+`trailing_buy = 0.3`  
+`stop_loss_trigger = 0`  
+`pending_order_wait_time = 0`  
+`ignore_sell_only_mode = false`  
+`min_buy_balance = 0`  
+
+
+
+### We will use BTC-QTUM for this example
+Let's say our bot purchased 0.36458333 units of QTUM at a price of 0.00192000 and the price starts to fall  
+Once the price falls below -3.5% (0.00185280) it will hit our first trigger as defined above and we will double our units  
+Since we have 0.36458333 units of QTUM, the boy proceed and buy another 0.36458333 units at the current price  
+Let's say the price is currently 0.00185280.  
+After this purchase goes thru, we will have 0.72916666 units of QTUM  
+Average Buy price 0.00188640   
+
+**For trigger 2** to kick in, the price would have to drop -4.5% (0.00180151) of our latest average price buy (0.00188640)   
+The bot again will double our units   
+Since we have 0.72916666 units of QTUM, the bot will proceed and buy another 0.72916666 units at the current price  
+Let's say the price is currently 0.00180151   
+After this purchase goes thru, we will have 1.45833332 units of QTUM  
+Average Buy price 0.00184396  
+
+**For trigger 3** to kick in, the price would have to drop -4.5% (0.00176098) of our latest average price buy (0.00184396)  
+The bot again will double our units  
+Since we have 1.45833332 units of QTUM, the bot will proceed and buy another 1.45833332 units at the current price   
+Let's say the price is currently 0.00176098  
+After this purchase goes thru, we will have 2.91666664 units of QTUM  
+Average Buy price 0.00180247  
+
+**For trigger 4** to kick in, the price would have to drop -5.5% (0.00170333) of our latest average price (0.00180247)  
+The bot again will double our units  
+Since we have 2.91666664 units of QTUM, the bot will proceed and buy another 2.91666664 units at the current price   
+Let's say the price is currently 0.00170333
+After this purchase goes thru, we will have
+5.83333328 units of QTUM
+Average Buy price 0.00175290
+
+**For trigger 5** to kick in, the price would have to drop -5.5% (0.00165649) of our latest average price (0.00175290)  
+The bot again will double our units   
+Since we have 5.83333328 units of QTUM, the bot will proceed and buy another 5.83333328 units at the current price   
+Let's say the price is currently 0.00165649  
+After this purchase goes thru, we will have 11.66666656 units of QTUM  
+Average Buy price 0.00170469  
+
+If the pair does 5 DCA buys, it means that the original price we bought 0.00192000 has fallen around 14% since we bought    If we hadn’t done any DCA buy, we would have to wait for this pair to gain those 14% back in order to break even, that might take a long time
+
+While with DCA, our new average price would be 0.00170469, that means that with a little spike in price 3-4% we would be able to sell our “bag
+
+***WARNING***  
+To use DCA you have to adjust your initial ALL_max_cost on pair files  
+Remember that each time ANDEERSON DCA makes a buy it will double your current units  
+That means it will use a lot of BTC, therefore, you MUST consider usin a low `ALL_max_cost`  
+
+### Example   
+If your max cost is:  
+ALL_max_cost = 0.0007   
+If you have to DCA 5 times, you will have spent total around 0.022 BTC  
+
+### A simple and safe math you can do is  
+
+1 DCA = initial trade x 2 = Total BTC to be used  
+2 DCA = initial trade x 4 = Total BTC to be used  
+3 DCA = initial trade x 8 = Total BTC to be used  
+4 DCA = initial trade x 16 = Total BTC to be used  
+5 DCA = initial trade x 32 = Total BTC to be used  
+6 DCA = initial trade x 64 = Total BTC to be used  
+7 DCA = initial trade x 128 = Total BTC to be used
