Education for the futures market (which can also be applied to the spot market)
There are several ways to apply DCA in either the futures or spot market. Let me give you three examples of DCA strategies
1. Martingale DCA • Concept: Each subsequent entry is doubled (commonly ×2) • Technical: • Entry 1 = $100 margin • Entry 2 = $200 margin • Entry 3 = $400 margin • Effect: The average entry price quickly approaches the market price • Risk: Margin grows very rapidly → highly prone to liquidation • Best for: Traders with large capital and strict cut-loss discipline
2. Fixed DCA • Concept: Each entry uses a fixed margin with the same amount • Technical: • Entry 1 = $100 margin • Entry 2 = $100 margin • Entry 3 = $100 margin • Effect: The average entry moves more slowly, making the position more stable • Risk: Requires more steps to recover • Best for: Conservative traders with small to medium capital
3. Dynamic DCA • Concept: Margin per entry increases gradually, but not as extreme as martingale (×1.2, ×1.5) • Technical: • Entry 1 = $100 margin • Entry 2 = $150 margin • Entry 3 = $225 margin • Effect: The average entry adjusts faster than fixed, but is safer compared to martingale • Risk: Still relatively high if the trend continues strongly against the position • Best for: Moderate traders seeking a balance between risk and entry acceleration
In short: • Martingale: Very aggressive, high risk. ( Its better if you take exiting a position seriously, as this carries a high level of risk) • Fixed: Safest and most stable • Dynamic: Middle ground, balancing risk and reward

Price is struggling to hold above the recent highs. Looking to catch a retrace toward support zones. Watching for continuation to the downside toward the lower targets
Hawkish signals from Federal Reserve officials dashed market hopes for a December rate cut in the U.S., and global stock and precious metal markets were battered on Friday, compounded by a still-confused data calendar and concerns about an artificial intelligence bubble.

#PAXGUSDT According to the lower timeframe, the price is consolidating near the support area, but I'm personally looking for a buying opportunity from the major key level.
4177.12 key point.
Targets:- 4200.90 / 4244.91
Don't place any advance orders for now. Use good bullish confirmations for the execution.
Remember one thing if the price successfully closes below 4169.23, then stay away from long on LTF.

$PAXG {future}(PAXGUSDT) After a record-breaking 43-day shutdown, the US government finally reopened with an agreement signed by Trump, and federal funding will continue until January 30. This news, which should have brought a breather to the market, unexpectedly triggered a global sell-off in assets. Spot gold rose more than 1% on Thursday (November 13) to a three-week high of $4244.96 before rapidly retreating, falling 1% to a low of $4145.25 per ounce, before closing down 0.58% at $4171.22 per ounce. Silver fared even worse, with spot silver falling nearly 2% to $52.26. Although it rose to its highest level since October 17 during the session, it ultimately succumbed to the sell-off. Traders pointed out that this was a classic "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario: the government reopening eliminated uncertainty, but investors collectively took profits, dragging the precious metals market into a vortex of declines in stocks, bonds, and the US dollar.
Gold traded in a narrow range in early Asian trading on Friday (November 14), currently hovering around $4180.13 per ounce.

$PAXG {future}(PAXGUSDT) Gold has once again presented a buying opportunity in the 4215-4225 range. Aggressive traders may consider buying within this range.
Watch the support level at 4210 and the resistance level at 4240. A break above this level would likely lead to further gains.
