Dollar Cost Trading

Dollar Cost Trading (DCT) is a quantitative share trading methodology which aims to outperform a buy and hold approach irrespective of whether the share price goes up, down or merely trends sideways. DCT outperforms by taking the contrarian approach of purchasing as the share price falls and then selling as the share price rises. In this way added value can be realised because the share was purchased when it represented better value for money and subsequently sold when the price was higher to realise greater profit. One of the distinguishing features of DCT is that there is no prediction involved in the system; it is purely reactive and objective. In this article we outline the key concepts which underlie this unique share investment method.
