Automated reinvesting & risk reduction upgrades for DCA Bots in 2025

Trading using DCA Bots on 3Commas just became more powerful than ever in 2025. 

We’ve released a major update (explained below) that gives you more control over how your DCA Bot operates when markets are trending up and down. 

These changes mean it’s now easier than ever to set your DCA Bot up to automatically take advantage when prices are rising — and automatically protect your capital when they’re trending lower.

The update delivers three key changes:

1. Automated Reinvesting: You can now set your DCA bots up to automatically reinvest a percentage of your realized profits. Your bot will calculate how much to reinvest based on the initial investment, then increase new deal sizes accordingly.
   
   When reinvesting, the DCA Bot will calculate the percentage of the reinvested funds relative to the initial investment (base order + safety orders). It will increase the new deal size (both base and safety orders) by that percentage.
   
   This feature is currently only available for Pro plan users. 

1. Automated Risk Reduction: Just as you can now automatically reinvest profits, you can also set DCA bots to automatically protect your funds from further losses when the market’s going against you. Your bot will decrease future deal sizes based on past losses. 

1. Increase to Safety Orders: Safety orders are another great tool for optimizing your DCA bot performance when prices are trending lower. We’ve doubled safety trades for DCA deals from 100 to 200, and increased the maximum count of active safety trades from 10 to 200. 

More About Trading With DCA Bots

A DCA strategy is the practice of investing at regular intervals to reduce risk. When you enter the market with a single deposit, you run the risk of purchasing highs and wind up at a loss when the price drops. However, you can invest in parts, reducing risks from the consequences of local price movements, distributing investments over time.

2025 DCA Bots Feature Update  

As an automatic trading software vendor, in 2025 3Commas added some cutting edge features to DCA Bots to further aid DCA traders and asset managers in management and efficiency.  

Increased Pair Selection Options for DCA Bots Through Integration with TradingView Crypto Screener  

The pair selection procedure during DCA Bot setup is simplified thanks to the addition of TradingView Crypto Screener. Pairs can now be filtered by time frame preferences, TradingView’s buy/sell recommendations, TradingView RSI Indicators, and market cap ranked lower than certain thresholds. DCA bots configuration is now easier when combined with this data-driven decision-making tool.  

DCA Bots Configuration at 3commas now allows setting up to four take profit orders with trailing profit capability.  

With this change, traders can now implement more complex profit taking strategies where they can capture more conservative profits as price continues to move favorably. Additional profit maximization can potentially be achieved through the trailing feature, which narrows the profit taken as market price moves in its favor.

Signal Bots and DCA Bots on 3Commas: A Closer Look

For asset managers, the challenges presented by disparate portfolios have long been a burden. To address these issues, 3Commas has released a new software specifically tailored for automated trading in cryptocurrency that can help with automation heretofore unseen in the industry. It’s called 3Commas for Asset Managers and this instrument facilitates automated execution of sophisticated strategies on numerous client accounts, all whilst streamlining manual supervision and operational workload.

As asset managers usually apply uniform strategies across multiple portfolios, the centralized dashboard allows such trades to be adjusted and monitored in real-time. Of particular note is the synergy with DCA Bots as well as AI analytics-driven crypto trading bots capable of executing rules-based trading on a large scale.

Primarily, the security of the clients is taken into account during the onboarding process: the client exchange account connections are made through a secure authorization portal which makes sharing API keys unnecessary with the asset managers. These methods are considered best practices when dealing with institutional accounts which need automated cryptocurrency trading.

Amidst a growing number of professional traders using AI bots to trade cryptocurrency, easing the burden of managing risks, automating entry and exit points, and scaling these strategies into different market conditions becomes increasingly attractive.

As more professional traders incorporate AI bots for crypto trading into their workflows, these tools offer a streamlined approach to managing risk, automating entries, and scaling strategies across market conditions.

These changes show the core focus of 3Commas to always provide sophisticated tools aimed at professional traders and asset managers, strengthening strategic and operational flexibility with the use of DCA Bots.
