Blitz Technologies exposes DCA dangers amid crypto futures trends, launches safer execution alternative.

DCA was built for spot accumulation where your max drawdown is 100% and time is your edge — applying it to perps where funding rates compound against you and each entry shifts your liquidation price is a category error, not a strategy. TWAP and scaled execution solve the slippage side, but the deeper problem is that most DCA bot users on futures don't model the cumulative funding drag, which on something like ETH perps has run 15-30% annualized during trending markets. Curious whether Blitz's alternative accounts for funding-adjusted cost basis or just optimizes fill timing.
