How to read it. Each row buys $100 of the coin every 7 days at the UTC daily close, for the last five years or from its first Binance candle. Invested is the total put in, value now the coins bought at the latest price, and the lump sum the same total invested at the first buy's close. Open a coin for monthly plans, 1 and 3-year horizons, your own amount and start date, a chart and a CSV of each buy.
Fees ignored. Source: Binance spot daily candles (public API), refreshed every few hours. Not financial advice.
DCA calculator FAQ
How does the DCA backtest work?
The plan buys the same dollar amount on every scheduled day from the start date: every day, every 7 days, or on the start's day of the month (the last day in shorter months). Each buy fills at that UTC day's closing price on Binance spot; a day without a candle buys at the next close. The value now is the coins bought times the latest price, and the profit is that value over the total invested.
Are fees included?
No. Trading fees, spread, slippage, withdrawal costs and taxes are ignored, so a real plan ends with slightly fewer coins: at a 0.1% trading fee, about 0.1% fewer.
What is the lump-sum comparison?
The same total invested all at once at the close of the plan's first buy day. In a market that rose steadily a lump sum usually ends higher; after a fall, DCA's lower average buy price usually wins.
Is past performance a guide to future returns?
No. A backtest shows what a plan would have done on past prices only. For a position you already hold, the average entry price calculator combines your own fills. Nothing here is financial advice.
