What the chart tells you, and what it leaves out.
What does dollar-cost averaging mean?
You buy the same money’s worth on a schedule, such as $100 every week. That buys more coins when the price is lower and fewer when it is higher. You end up with a mix of purchase prices instead of just one.
Choose a cryptocurrency and set your own schedule: every 10 days, every 2 weeks, every 3 months, or whatever interval fits your plan. The chart follows actual prices, without assuming a steady return or predicting the future.
How do I read the chart?
In Investment value, the orange line is what your coins were worth. The blue line is the money you had invested. When orange is above blue, your coins are worth more than you paid. Below blue, they are worth less.
Coins owned shows how many coins your purchases added up to. Average buy price compares what you paid per coin, including fees, with its market price. Move across the chart to inspect a date, or drag across it to zoom in on a stretch of dates; the figures below always describe the end of your plan.
How are dates, prices and fees handled?
Your first regular purchase is on the start date, at that day’s closing price. Bitcoin uses Maketo’s daily close in US dollars. The other coins use their daily close against USDT, a dollar-pegged coin, on a large exchange. You can repeat every 1–365 days, weeks or months. Monthly purchases keep the original day, using the last day of a shorter month when needed.
History coverage varies by coin. The dates adjust to the selected coin’s available record. If a price is missing, a purchase moves to the next recorded date within your range; the purchase record identifies any moved or unfilled buys.
With a 1% buying fee, a $100 payment buys $100 ÷ 1.01 of crypto. The remainder is the fee. An extra starting amount is a separate purchase on day one. Final value excludes selling fees and tax.
Is buying regularly better than buying once?
It depends on the dates and prices. The upfront comparison spends the same total amount in one purchase at the start, with the same percentage fee. It assumes you had all that cash available on day one.
If the money arrives with each payday, that upfront budget may not have been available. The return shown is the total gain or loss as a percentage of everything you invested, not a yearly rate. Neither approach guarantees a profit.
