Crypto DCA: Set Up Recurring Purchases with TRUE
Plan recurring crypto buys, calculate the amount per purchase, and understand how to monitor or cancel a Jupiter schedule.
Turn a budget into a schedule
A dollar-cost averaging plan splits a total budget across repeated purchases. Define the asset, funding currency, number of orders and interval. It can reduce the need to choose one entry time, but it keeps buying even when the investment thesis is wrong.
Illustrative plan: $400 split into eight purchases, 168 hours apart. Each scheduled purchase uses $50 before costs. Confirm the first execution time in the product instead of assuming it will run immediately or at a particular local time.
The MCP request
{"symbol":"SOL","totalUsd":400,"orders":8,"intervalHours":168}These are parameters for create_dca. Calling it requests creation of a real recurring order, so this example is provided for review only. The current TRUE tool requires at least $100 total. Your open TRUE app approves and signs creation; Jupiter runs the schedule.
A TRUE agent draft and a Jupiter recurring order have different lifecycles. Use the examples library to see that distinction before submitting a request.
Calculate the actual average
If $50 buys 0.5 units and a later $50 buys 0.625 units, $100 acquired 1.125 units. The average cost is about $88.89 per unit before fees, not the $90 arithmetic average of the two quoted prices. Use the actual units and costs in your execution records.
Small, frequent orders can make transaction costs more significant. Check the applicable swap, protocol and network charges; DCA does not make them disappear.
Monitor and cancel
Save the order identifier. Review completed purchases, remaining funds, errors and the next scheduled action. To stop the schedule, cancel the recurring order through its app-signed cancellation flow. Disconnecting MCP or pausing another agent does not cancel it.
After cancellation, confirm the order status and review any assets already bought. Cancelling future purchases does not sell those assets.
