The gordon bot often does not get deals. IMO it's the shittiest bot you can find because it misses a ton of good buys.
Try using tradingview.com and piping your indicators directly to the DCA bot. There is a bit of a time investment on your part to learn how to do this but you will end up with exactly what you want as far as bot aggression.
>how far down do you DCA?
I use tradingview.com with the Drawdown and Max Drawdown indicator to decide how I set up my safety orders per coin. It's worked pretty well so far.
