A deep-dive comparison of two automated crypto trading strategies — Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) and Grid Trading — with full Go implementations. Covers the mechanics, risk management, psychological trade-offs, and backtesting results for both strategies. DCA suits long-term accumulation in bear markets with lower stress, while Grid Trading excels in sideways/volatile markets but demands active monitoring. Both strategies are implemented using Clean Architecture, state machines, dependency injection, and a unified exchange API adapter supporting Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase. Includes ATR-based adaptive grid spacing, fee impact analysis, and YAML configuration examples for conservative and aggressive setups.
