We all know about Dollar Cost Averaging positions over time. However allow me to introduce you to a weighted DCA strategy that gets you a tighter average and retains additional capital over time ready to be allocated at "better prices".
First take your monthly $ allocation to your desired Ticker *For this example we use $400 added monthly and TSLA as the Ticker We break the monthly add into 1/4ths So if we have $400 That = 4 lots of $100 dollars. Set an Auto buy to $100 (as well as auto div reinvest if there is one) *This feels like we're leaving too much on the table and not invested, but this is what gives this strategy the sauce. *We use the Daily chart over a year timeframe for consistency.
If RSI is >= 60 we leave the auto buy of $100 (1/4) as is and save the remaining 3/4s to allocate at another date.
If RSI is >= 50 -60 we buy another 1/4 ($100) (totaling $200 or 2/4s of monthly allocation)
If RSI is <= 30 we allocate the other 3/4s ( $300 ) for a full 4/4s monthly allocation _We will also @ RSI <= 30 allocate 1/4 of all saved monthly allocations
As seen in the Chart this occurs in Feb of 2024 where we buy $400 ($100 auto buy + $300 manual) and from $1300 reserves we've accumulated we use $325 to purchase additional shares.
This leaves us in great shape, we have a much tighter avg while also maintaining funds ready to specifically purchase more shares at a better price without the fomo.

Any questions/ opinions welcomed. Good Luck out there.
