3Commas DCA (Martingale) bot calculator

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a strategy where a trader splits their total investment into smaller, regular purchases of an asset to minimize the effects of market volatility.

The key feature of 3Commas is its trading bots, which are called DCA bots, but in reality, they use a martingale strategy.

I created a Safety Orders Calculator in Google Sheets to help you determine how safe your bot settings are and how much funds are needed for each averaging safety trade in 3Commas:

Simply enter your desired bot settings by replacing the numbers in the orange fields of the table, and the calculator will automatically provide all the important data for you.

When the calculated Safety Factor shows a score of "2," it means the price only needs to recover halfway from your initial order to reach the Take Profit for that trade. An average Safety Factor with a score of "2" or higher is a strong indicator of good settings.

If you see negative numbers or "DIV," it means your settings violate mathematical rules— for example, you cannot lose more than 100% of a long position in the same trade, so the maximum deviation is 100%.

Below is a list of copies of the same Google Sheet where you can experiment with your settings if the main one is already in use:
