Tiered entries
AlphaGrid uses a dynamic Anchor High to identify drawdown depth and execute across L1-L6 tiers. The deeper the drawdown, the heavier the action, without relying on live emotion to decide whether to keep buying.
AlphaGrid · Normal Drawdown DCA Engine
AlphaGrid handles ordinary drawdowns. It does not improvise during the fall. It sets the sequence for entries, principal recovery, full principal return, and profit retention before the drawdown happens.
Core mechanics
50% Principal Recovery
When price recovers from the low to a key level, the system recovers 50% of principal first, reducing capital pressure while preserving participation in further upside.
Full Principal Return
When price returns near the anchor, the full principal goes back to the cash pool. The shares left afterward no longer carry the job of recovering the original principal.
Profit Position
Once principal recovery is complete, the remaining shares become a profit position, better suited to long-term holding and profit retention than repeated short-term trading.
Why it fits normal drawdowns
Most assets do not fall into extreme collapse every time. For SPY, QQQ, BTC, and other assets that often experience medium drawdowns, what matters more is turning budget, position sizing, principal recovery, and exit rhythm into one stable workflow. That is where AlphaGrid matters.
