DCA Dollar Cost Averaging (Agents)
All advanced order types on Botega are actually powered by Autonomous Agents. These are independent processes created specifically for the user, designed to interact with various systems such as oracles, liquidity pools, and more. These agents carry advanced logic, enabling features like trailing stops, risk assessments, and other sophisticated trading strategies.
