Dollar-Cost Averaging Into Long-Dated Markets

On a long-dated market where you hold a fundamental view, build the position gradually in small scheduled buys instead of all at once. This averages your entry price and cuts timing risk, so a single bad day doesn't define your cost basis, and a written rule tells you when thesis-breaking news should make you stop and exit.

What you need to run it

Written thesis with target entry range
Scheduled buy plan (size, cadence, max total allocation)
Rule for when thesis-breaking news forces an exit

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where dollar-cost averaging into long-dated markets is the natural play:

Will the US enter a recession in 2027?
Will Bitcoin close above $200k by December 31, 2027?
Will [a Democrat] win the 2028 US presidency?
