Required capital explodes as your target approaches the current price — you can never reach it.

Averaging down after the fact is expensive. Tradeeon DCA bots plan safety orders, take-profit, and stop-loss before entry — then run it automatically.
New average = (already invested + new investment) ÷ (coins held + coins bought at the current price). This tool inverts that math so you enter a target average and see the extra capital required — or enter a budget and see the new average.
No. Every new buy is at the current price, so your average can only approach it, never reach it. The closer the target, the more capital it takes — often exploding toward infinity near the market price.
Cutting your average from $100 to $60 may cost about 2× your position; shaving from $55 to $51 can cost 10× more. The cost curve on this page shows how quickly capital requirements grow as you chase a lower average.
It lowers break-even but concentrates more money in a losing trade. A planned DCA ladder with preset safety orders, take-profit, and stop-loss usually manages that risk better than emotional topping-up. Use the numbers here before you buy more.
Yes — no sign-up. When you want the buys automated, plan the ladder on the DCA calculator or run it as a Tradeeon paper bot.
Use the average down calculator when you already hold a position at a loss and want to know how much more capital lowers your average. Use the free crypto DCA calculator when you have not bought yet and want to plan a new ladder, max capital, and take-profit before your first entry.
