DCA Backtest Simulator with Real Prices
DCA (dollar-cost averaging) means buying a fixed amount on a regular schedule — no market timing needed. This tool uses real historical prices from CoinGecko to show what your portfolio would look like today if you had started in the past.

Frequently asked questions
›What is DCA?
DCA (dollar-cost averaging) means buying a fixed money amount on a regular schedule — say $50 of Bitcoin every month — regardless of price. It removes market timing and emotion from investing.
›Weekly or monthly DCA — which is better?
Long-term returns barely differ. What actually differs is fees (frequent small buys hit minimums more often) and discipline — the frequency you can genuinely stick to matters most. Compare both in this simulator.
›Where do this simulator's numbers come from?
Real historical prices from CoinGecko, applied to the purchase schedule you set — not hypothetical figures. Exchange trading fees are not included, and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
