Prevent DCA / Only Add In Profit is designed for prop firms with rules against DCA trading. DCA (dollar-cost averaging) is adding to a losing position to bring down your average price; some prop firms prohibit it because adding to a loser can multiply losses and blow accounts quickly.
- Unselected: Allows DCA
- Selected: Prevents DCA
Minimum Tick Threshold
›
Once Prevent DCA is selected, set your Minimum Tick Threshold — how many ticks into profit your trade must be before you can add to the position.
- 10 ticks - Must be more than 10 Ticks from Entry/li>
- Recommend minimum 15–20 ticks for faster-moving charts.
- Auto Adds submit a market order with no guaranteed fill price — on instruments like NQ, go higher to prevent accidental DCA.
Hint: if you use the Auto Add options and your prop firm prohibits DCA, keep this selected to help prevent accidental rule-breaking.
