The Vibe: Spreading your buys (or sells) across different price levels to smooth out volatility.
The Details: Instead of buying all your crypto at one price (risking bad timing), you “ladder” your purchases—set multiple buy orders at lower and lower prices (e.g., buy 25% now, 25% if it drops 10%, 25% at 20% lower, etc.). The same works for selling/taking profits on the way up. It’s a disciplined way to average your entry/exit price, reduce emotional decisions, and turn volatility into an advantage.
Pro Tip: Great combo with DCA—automate ladders on exchanges that support limit orders or recurring buys. Always plan your rungs ahead based on support levels or percentage drops, and only use money you can afford to deploy fully.
