Question 1

What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?

Accepted Answer

DCA means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price. You buy more units when prices are low and fewer when high, smoothing your average cost over time.

Question 2

Is DCA better than lump-sum investing?

Accepted Answer

Historically lump-sum wins more often in rising markets because money is invested longer. DCA reduces the risk of investing everything at a local top and is easier to stick with. Our calculator shows both side by side so you can judge with real data.

Question 3

Where does the historical price data come from?

Accepted Answer

Daily/weekly/monthly closes from Binance public klines, with CoinGecko as fallback. If both are unreachable the calculator tells you instead of simulating fake data.
