Simulate what would have happened if you invested in crypto, stocks, or ETFs on a specific date in the past. Compare lump sum vs DCA strategies and visualize your returns over time with real historical data.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount regularly (daily, weekly, monthly…), which smooths out volatility. A Lump Sum invests your entire amount at once. Our simulator lets you compare both strategies side-by-side.
