What is Recurring Buy?
Recurring Buy is a feature that allows you to automatically purchase cryptocurrencies at regular intervals—daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This feature is designed to help you invest a fixed amount of money into your chosen cryptocurrency on a consistent schedule, regardless of price. The idea behind this is to help you invest over time, minimizing the risk of purchasing at a single high price point.
Why Use Recurring Buy?
There are several benefits to using Recurring Buy for crypto Spot Trading:
1. Reduces Emotional Decision-Making
- Crypto markets are known for their volatility, and it can be tempting to make impulsive decisions when prices swing. Recurring Buy removes the emotional aspect of trading by automating the process. With this method, you’re investing steadily, regardless of short-term market movements.
2. Simplifies the Investment Process
- You don’t need to worry about checking the market every day or figuring out when to buy. Once you’ve set up your Recurring Buy plan, your investments will be automatically processed at your preferred intervals.
3. Averages Your Purchase Price
- By purchasing at regular intervals, your average purchase price is smoothed out. If you buy during a market dip, you’ll acquire more of the asset; if the price is higher, you’ll acquire less. Over time, this can lead to a more balanced and cost-effective approach to buying cryptocurrencies.
4. Great for Long-Term Investors
- Recurring Buy is ideal for investors who want to build their crypto portfolio steadily without the stress of timing the market. This strategy works well for those who plan to hold their assets for the long term.
