# Leverage DCA

## Overview

<figure><img src="/files/TnlLGekBY3qHsdiRuO86" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Amplify your gains with leveraged trading with gradual buy/sells. This strategy enables users to automatically benefit from the differences between the cost of borrowing and the expected profit generated from the borrowed liquidity.

## Potential Alpha

* **Multiply Your Gains:** Get access to more liquidity thereby increasing your capital efficiency through leverage.
* **Gradually Buy At Lower Prices:** Purchase tokens along a smooth price curve starting from your start price to your specified end price. Every trade covers a larger proportion of your debt.
* **Gradually Sell At Higher Prices:** Sell tokens along a smooth price curve starting from your start price to your specified end price. Every trade covers a larger proportion of your debt.
* **Earn From Market Spreads:** Earn additional trading fees from short term volatility within your selected range.
