DCA positions | POST /hopper/{id}/position/dca

POST https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1/hopper/{id}/position/dca

Places a DCA buy order for each of the given open positions, priced at the current ask and sized by the hopper's DCA size setting. Optionally creates a trailing stop buy instead of a direct order.

OAuth scope: read manage trade About scopes

dca_mode is merged (default) or individual; individual falls back to merged when the subscription does not include it. market_order 1 places a market order, otherwise a limit order. trailing_buy 1 together with a trailing_buy_percentage above 0 creates a trailing stop buy. The order must fit in the hopper's quote currency balance. Not available for exchange arbitrage, market maker, copy and grid bots.
