With flat prices, timing doesn't matter — DCA and a lump sum land in exactly the same place.
Investing a fixed amount at regular intervals instead of all at once — you buy more units when price is low and fewer when it's high, smoothing your entry point over time.
The blended price you paid across every buy — total invested divided by total units. It moves toward the market price as more buys accumulate.
Investing everything on day one captures the most upside in a rising market, but risks bad timing. DCA trades some upside for lower regret if the entry point turns out to be a bad one.
The risk of investing a large amount right before a downturn. DCA doesn't eliminate this risk — it spreads it across many smaller decisions instead of one big one.
Daily, weekly, and monthly buys land at different points along the same price path — more frequent buys track the average price more closely, at the cost of more transactions.
The growth rate you choose is a hypothetical you control, not a market prediction. Nothing here predicts what any asset's price will actually do.
DCA means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals — say $50 every week — instead of investing a lump sum at once. It removes the need to time the market: you automatically buy more units when the price is low and fewer when it's high.
It starts at the asset's live price, applies your chosen recurring amount and frequency for the duration you set, and grows the price smoothly at the annual rate you choose. It sums the units bought at each period's price to get your total units, average cost, and projected value.
Neither wins universally. In a steadily rising market, a lump sum invested earlier captures more of the gain. DCA's advantage is behavioral and risk-based — it avoids the regret of investing everything right before a drop, and turns market timing into a non-issue.
More frequent buys (daily or weekly) track the average price more closely and reduce the impact of any single bad-timed purchase, at the cost of more transactions and fees on some exchanges. Monthly is the most common starting point for beginners.
There's no correct answer — nobody can predict future prices. Try a few scenarios (flat, moderate, bearish) to see the range of plausible outcomes rather than anchoring on one number.
It's accurate arithmetic on the assumptions you provide, not a prediction. Real prices move unpredictably day to day; treat the output as a planning exercise, not a guarantee.
