Automated Investing

A bot buys the dip whenever one of a selected group of ETFs or crypto coins drops in price over the past 24 hours.

How it works

  1. Reserves. Each ETF and coin holds its own cash reserve, topped up by a fixed amount once a day.
  2. Price change. If the price went up, nothing happens and the reserve keeps growing. If it went down, a proportion of the reserve is spent on a purchase.
  3. Proportion of the reserve. The further the price drops, the bigger that proportion.

ETFs

Eleven ETFs, one for each sector of the economy, so no single corner of the market can dominate the portfolio.

Every 0.25% of decline commits another 5% of the reserve. A drop past 4.74% — rare for a broad sector fund — spends the reserve entirely.

Example

A fund's reserve is sitting at $12.40 and it closes the day down 1.10%. That lands on the 1.25% rung, so the bot commits 25% of the reserve: a $3.10 buy, leaving $9.30 in the reserve.

Crypto

Four coins with enough liquidity and history to trade like assets rather than lottery tickets — two as anchors, two for the swing.

The same ramp stretched four times wider, because coins swing much harder than an index fund. Here each 1% of decline commits 5% of the reserve, and a 20% day — or worse — spends the whole thing.

Example

A coin's reserve is sitting at $8.00 and it closes the day down 6.4%. That lands on the 7% rung, so the bot commits 35% of the reserve: a $2.80 buy, leaving $5.20 in the reserve.
