I’m basically someone whose hands can’t keep up with their brain. If I have to choose, I’ll definitely go with the latter—grid vs. DCA, I’ll take DCA. I used to throw myself into it a few times in one go; I’d wake up in the middle of the night, flip my phone open to check the K-line chart, and my heart rate was faster than a dog’s. By the time I could even warm up the profit, it was wiped out cleanly by slippage.

Now I just set up a recurring fixed-amount plan. When on-chain gas is low, I’ll run it for a bit—so my mind can stay at ease. After all, these days AI agents are being hyped to the sky, and automated trading bots are everywhere; you can find a bunch of them just by grabbing one. But really, who’s going to help you nail down safety, and who’s going to help you avoid sandwich attacks? When I was researching slippage protection, I’d seen too many bots get trapped and squeezed—by themselves—first. Grid looks convenient, but dialing in the parameters can truly lead to insomnia. It’s better to buy a bit on a schedule—sure, it’s slower, but at least you can sleep.
