Auto-Invest 2.0: rule-based DCA with conditional triggers

Our rebuilt Auto-Invest now supports price-conditional buys, volatility-aware scheduling, and a portfolio rebalance mode — alongside the classic time-based DCA most users started with.

Auto-Invest has been one of the quietly popular tools on PulsarPro since launch. It does one thing well: it buys a fixed amount of an asset on a recurring schedule, regardless of price.

The new version adds the features users have been asking for, without breaking what already worked.

What is new

There are three major additions in Auto-Invest 2.0:

  • Conditional triggers — buy only when the price is below a defined threshold, or when an indicator like the 30-day moving average is in a specific zone.
  • Volatility-aware scheduling — increase or decrease the recurring amount based on the asset's recent realized volatility.
  • Portfolio rebalance mode — define a target allocation across multiple assets, and Auto-Invest will drift positions back toward that allocation on each cycle.

Everything is still rule-based and fully transparent. There is no black-box AI doing the trading.

The classic mode still exists

If you are happy with simple time-based dollar-cost averaging, nothing changes. Pick the asset, pick the cadence, pick the amount. The order goes out on schedule.

The new features are opt-in, not defaults.

Why conditional triggers matter

Time-based DCA is excellent for the long term and emotionally easy to stick to. But it does buy mechanically through every kind of market, including obvious local tops.

Conditional triggers let you keep the discipline of DCA while skipping the most expensive entries. A common rule users tested in our beta was: buy the recurring amount only when BTC is below its 30-day moving average. Backtested across the past three years, this would have improved cost basis by 6 to 8 percent for the same total deployed capital.

How rebalance mode works

You set up a basket — for example, 60 percent BTC, 30 percent ETH, 10 percent SOL. On each scheduled cycle, Auto-Invest computes the drift from target and adjusts your recurring buys to push the portfolio back toward the target weights.

This works well for users who want consistent crypto exposure without the discipline overhead of doing rebalancing by hand.

Pricing and fees

Auto-Invest orders execute on the spot order book at standard taker fees. There is no separate Auto-Invest premium or subscription. The product is free to use.

You can pause, edit, or cancel a plan at any time. Open Settings → Auto-Invest from your account dashboard to try the new modes.
