In this way it may be possible to reduce the volatility effects on the market, since each payments could be done both with positive and with negative conditions. What if the investment is not regular in time, but changes according to the market trend? This thesis project aims to compare the standard Dollar Cost Averaging with a suited plan. The amount of money for each instalment will be kept the same as for the standard plan, what will be changed is the instant of time of each investment, that it will be chosen according to the market trend.
