# APEX Runner DCA Signal

> APEX Runner DCA Signal is a paid API for AI agents from apexrunner.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.14/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) attractiveness signal for crypto, including RSI, Fear & Greed index, market regime, and an accumulation score to guide buy decisions.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-runner-dca-signal-b193c160
```

Example prompt: Check the APEX Runner DCA signal right now and tell me whether I should be accumulating crypto, holding, or avoiding — give me the score, RSI, Fear & Greed value, and what market regime we're in.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pre-computed DCA attractiveness signal that combines RSI, sentiment (Fear & Greed), and market regime into a single actionable score — ideal for agents automating or advising on crypto accumulation strategies without building their own indicator pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Payment required (402) if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Stale data if upstream market data sources are delayed
- Service unavailable if APEX Runner infrastructure is down
- Empty or null fields if signal computation cannot be completed

## How this service works

APEX Runner: Dca Signal Signal

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a DCA attractiveness score (0-100, higher = better entry), the recommended action (accumulate, hold, or avoid), the 14-period RSI, the current Fear & Greed index (0-100), and the current market regime string (e.g. RANGING, TRENDING).
