Kosta Ouzas argues that Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is central to a systematic trading system’s survivability, not a profit mechanism. By spreading capital deployment over a wider price range DCA lowers average entry price, reduces liquidation risk, and enforces mathematical structure (no improvisation) that lets the system manage large capital through sharp drawdowns.

DCA here is not how the system makes money. It's how the system actually stays alive. It's how it breathes into the trade. By spreading capital deployment over a wider price range, the system is going to lower its average entry price. It's going to reduce liquidation risk and give itself more room to operate. Even in sharp drawdowns, there's no improvisation, no hope, just math and structure, and that's what allows this system to manage large capital without blowing up.
