Should I Purchase Digots even if I am above the 50% ratio?

Anyone who has been involved with DXSynergy for any length of time knows we are constantly tested on our ability to adapt to changes. Some of these changes are more difficult to understand than others. One of the hardest things we face is developing a new strategy at any given time. But, if we look at it one part at a time, it's really not that bad. With that said, I want to go over one of the more popular questions regarding digot purchasing, as mentioned in the title.

Right now, we need to be focusing on getting our DXDU (DXDebit Used) to 50% or less. There are some great articles out there that can help you do this, with or without using the reduction tool. In this article I just want to focus on how digot purchasing can and will affect your TDV (Total Digot Value) and DXDU%, so let's get to it.

The answer to the title question is yes and no. Everyday you are given a certain amount of EOS (End Of Session) credits which immediately go to your Reserve. Any money in your Reserve would serve you well if you purchased digots. This would cause your TDV to rise and it would improve your DXDU% immediately. Also, at EOS you will have an increase in your DXDA (DXDebit Available).

So yes, feel free to spend your EOS credits (or anything in your Reserve) on digots! But you may also wonder, how often. In general, everyday would be fine. In fact, this is a good idea so that this money can be working for you, rather than just sitting there. There are though, 2 exceptions to this I would like to mention.

One, do not buy digots on a day that premiums are high. By high, I mean above 10%. It will serve you well to wait a couple or even a few days to get a better deal. Two, if you are planning to use the reduction tool, you may want to consider saving up your EOS credits until after you use this tool. You will then have an immediate increase in your TDV once you spend them. If you spend your EOS credits just before using the reduction tool, you will lose some of its value as your TDV is lowered.

Clearly, it is in your best interest to spend your EOS Credits on digots regardless of what DXDU% you are at. But, what about spending your DXDA on digots? Technically, we can no longer do this since we cannot transfer DXDA to Reserve anymore. However, we could get around this by performing an OutXchange/InXchange. Is this to our benefit? Not really. The moment you do an OutXchange your DXDU% will rise (possibly dramatically) and although if you bring it back in to purchase digots would lower it some, it will not be enough to get you back were you were.

It is these types of actions that will raise your DXDU% continually, causing your OA fees to increase and gains to decrease, which affects the entire system and everyone in it. We now know this information as fact, because we all are experiencing this in some way as it affects us all. But, if we all do our part now, we will all benefit in a long, profitable future with DXSynergy.
