Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

Investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule regardless of price.

Dollar-cost averaging means putting the same dollar amount into an investment at set intervals. You automatically buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when high, smoothing your average cost.

It removes the temptation to time the market and is how most people invest from a paycheck — consistency and time do the heavy lifting.
