Bitvavo offers a convenient Recurring Buy feature that allows you to automatically buy cryptocurrencies from your EUR balance. This feature is also referred to as Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), and it enables you to invest in cryptocurrencies without the need to monitor the market constantly.
Bitvavo fills the order at a random timestamp on the day you selected for your recurring purchase. This randomization is in place to prevent market manipulation and front-running. If you want to execute a trade at a specific timestamp of your choosing, we recommend placing the trade manually.
Setting up a Recurring Buy order
- Log in to your Bitvavo account.
- Navigate to the "Recurring Buy" section on Wallet in your app.
- Choose the cryptocurrency you want to purchase on a regular basis, funded from your EUR balance. You can select from a variety of available cryptocurrencies.
- After selecting your desired cryptocurrency, choose the day of the month on which you want your recurring purchase to take place. You can select any day of the month that suits your financial planning.
- Enter the monthly amount in EUR you intend to purchase in the selected cryptocurrency. This is the amount that will be automatically deducted from your EUR balance.
- After choosing your cryptocurrency, selecting the preferred day of the month, and specifying the EUR amount, click "Continue" to proceed.
Removing a Recurring Buy
- To easily remove a Recurring Buy order, go to the Recurring Buy section.
- Locate the Recurring Buy you wish to remove and click on the three dots icon (ellipsis) next to it.
- Select the "Remove" option to cancel the recurring purchase. Removing a Recurring Buy means you won't continue purchasing the chosen asset on a regular basis.
FAQ
