Interpretation
What problem this simulator solves
Investors often debate whether it’s better to:
- invest everything at once (HODL / lump sum), or
- spread investments over time (DCA)
Both approaches feel intuitive, but their outcomes depend heavily on timing, volatility, and trend direction.
This simulator makes that trade-off explicit by replaying both strategies over the same historical price path.
What you’re looking at

The simulator compares two investment paths for the same asset and time range:
- HODL
The full amount is invested on the first day and held throughout. - The same total amount is invested gradually in equal tranches on a fixed cadence.
