Open a coin, tap ⚙️ Automations, then 🪜 Ladder, or send /ladder <address>. Each rung is its own limit order, waiting for its own market cap.

Build one

1

Set both ends of the range

Send a market cap for each end, in either order.
2

Choose how many rungs

4 by default, up to 10. More rungs give a smoother average, but each rung is its own trade with its own fee.
3

Set the total

A total in dollars for a buy ladder, or a percentage of the position for a sell ladder. It’s split evenly between the rungs: a $400 ladder over 4 rungs buys $100 at each.
4

Set the expiry

24 hours unless you change it. See Expiry.
5

Place it

Tap ✅ Place buy ladder or ✅ Place sell ladder. 🗑 Cancel ladder on Dawn’s reply removes every rung that hasn’t fired, all at once.

How the rungs are spaced

Evenly by percentage move, not by dollars. Across $250k to $2m, each rung is the same percentage step above the last, so your money is spread evenly over the move.

Buy ladder or sell ladder

  • Buying: set the range below the current cap to average into a fall, or above it to add into strength.
  • Selling: set the range above the current cap to take profit in stages. Each rung sells its slice of the position.
Rungs fire independently. If the market runs through the whole range, several can fire close together; a rung the price never reaches sits until expiry.

Ladder or DCA?
