DCA & Lump Sum work together hand in hand.

Dollar cost per average is an indicator for shares and stocks. The lower the DCA, the better because the profit margin will become wider if you bought 100 shares at $3.00 for company A & the next few days you bought the same 100 shares at $1.50 for company A again. The DCA will be $2.25 per share. The next purchase will be 200 shares lower than $1.50 then the DCA will be lower at $1.625 for 400 shares. If the price goes up $10.00 for the 3 months. Your profit margin will be $3350 for the 400 shares. This requires the lump sum for any investment including stocks, shares, funds, cryptos, Foreign Currency Exchanges & bonds. Without the lump sum, there will be no compounding of interest for your lump sum. Both of them work together hand in hand for both short-term and long-term wealth compunding.
