  },
  "dca": {
    "pair": "ETHUSDT",
    "strategy": "LONG",
    "baseOrderSize": "20.0",
    "safetyOrderSize": "40",
    "startOrderType": "LIMIT",
    "dealStartCondition": "ASAP",
    "targetProfitPercentage": 1.0,
    "maxSafetyTradesCount": 8,
    "maxActiveSafetyTradesCount": 8,
    "priceDeviationPercentage": 0.5,
    "safetyOrderVolumeScale": 1.1,
    "safetyOrderStepScale": 1.55
  }
}

Put your api key and api secret into the binance configs and customize the dca configs. dca config explanation:

Config Name	Description
pair	The trading pair. The pair must be supported by binance. Check the availability here
strategy	The trading strategy. Either LONG or SHORT. Current only LONG is supported
baseOrderSize	The volume of the first order the bot will create when starting a new deal
safetyOrderSize	The base safe order amount you are going to use to average the cost.
startOrderType	Order type the bot will use to start the first order. Either LIMIT or MARKET. Currently only LIMIT is supported
dealStartCondition	When to start a new deal. Currently the bot will start new deal right after the previous deal gets closed
targetProfitPercentage	The target profit percentage. For example, after 5 orders your average price is 1000, and the targetProfitPercentage is 1, the take profit (sell order) will be priced at 1010.
maxSafetyTradesCount	The max no of safety orders the bot will place
maxActiveSafetyTradesCount	The max no of active safety buy orders. Not implemented yet. The bot will place all buy orders when the deal starts
priceDeviationPercentage	The percentage difference in price to create the first Safety Order. All Safety Orders are calculated from the price the initial baseOrderSize was filled on the exchange account.
safetyOrderVolumeScale	This value is used to multiply the amount of funds used by the last Safety Order that was created. Using a larger amount of funds for Safety Orders allows your bot to be more aggressive at Dollar Cost Averaging the price of the asset being traded.
safetyOrderStepScale	This value is used to multiply the Price Deviation percentage used by the last Safety Order placed on the exchange account.
