FINAL HISTORICAL DCA VALUE · WITHOUT SELLING
Two ways to invest the same total
The lump-sum purchase assumes all the capital is available from day one. DCA contributes it gradually. Exposure and time invested therefore differ.

How to interpret the simulation
DCA means investing a fixed amount at a set frequency. Here, each contribution buys at the daily historical price from the stated source, after deducting the configured fee. The final result values the accumulated coins at the daily price on the end date.
The lump-sum purchase uses the sum of all contributions at the daily price on day one, with the same percentage fee. The return shown is cumulative, not annualized; the average cost includes purchase fees.
Past results do not guarantee future results. Buying periodically does not prevent losses. The start and end dates can change the comparison considerably.
The source shown when selecting the asset is used. The currency for all amounts is also shown in the form. USD and USDT are not identical. Minimum calendar dates are indicative tool limits, not verified first candles. Actual availability is checked when fetching data; gaps are not filled with invented prices. Selling fees, slippage, interest and additional yields are excluded.
Data is fetched when you press the button. Prices are reused during this session to reduce requests. The pair and dates are sent to retrieve the history, not the amount you want to invest. If the source does not respond, an error is shown without presenting a new simulation.
