Crypto DCA Simulator
Simulate dollar-cost averaging into a volatile asset.
This is a simulated illustration using a randomized price path shaped by your return and volatility inputs — not real market data, and not financial advice. Actual results will differ.

Why simulate instead of showing real prices?
TrueMeasureKit runs entirely in your browser with no server calls, so this simulator can't fetch live market data. Instead it generates a deterministic, randomized price path shaped by the annual return and volatility you set — the same inputs always produce the same path, so you can compare scenarios fairly by changing one variable at a time. Dollar-cost averaging (investing a fixed amount on a fixed schedule) smooths out the effect of volatility versus investing a lump sum at a single, potentially unlucky price.
Frequently asked questions
What does dollar-cost averaging (DCA) actually smooth out?
DCA spreads purchases across many dates instead of investing a lump sum at once, which averages out your entry price across market swings and removes the pressure of trying to time a single "best" entry point.
Does this simulation use real historical crypto prices?
No — it simulates DCA mechanics against the price inputs and volatility assumptions you provide, not actual market history. Treat results as illustrating how DCA behaves, not as a backtest or a prediction.
