1. What is Recurring Buy?
Recurring Buy is a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy for investing a fixed amount in crypto at your defined fixed intervals. An appropriate recurring approach in volatile markets allows you to buy crypto at a lower cost.
2. How do I set up a Recurring Buy bot?
2.1. Steps Overview
Enter OKX on your PC or mobile and navigate to Trade, select Trading bot mode (at the top left corner on the web or top right corner on the mobile app), then click Recurring buy.
Select the asset to be invested and specify your allocation for each asset, then confirm the Frequency, Time, and Amount to create a Recurring buy bot. After the strategy is created, the fund is not reserved and isolated upfront for each cycle from the trading account. Please ensure sufficient fund in the trading account before each investment period.
You can view and manage your bots on the Bots page.

Crypto allocation: You can choose the crypto assets from the Recurring buy bot, either a single-pair or multi-pairs up to 20 assets. The Recurring buy bot will proportionally invest using the allocation parameters in each period.
Frequency: The frequency of each Recurring buy cycle. You can pick to buy in daily, weekly or monthly manner.
Local Time: The specific timing when the asset will be bought from local time on that day.
