See how a steady buying plan would really have played out.
Choose a token, a contribution and a cadence. We run the plan against actual daily closing prices and line it up against putting everything in on day one and against the identical schedule into SOL.
Plan performance
Methodology
Identical dollars, three different approaches, priced the same way.
How is the recurring plan simulated?
Starting on your first-purchase date and repeating at your chosen interval, the contribution buys the token at that day's UTC closing price. When a day has no price, the purchase moves to the next day that does.
What does "all in on day one" mean?
The full amount your plan eventually contributes, spent entirely on the first purchase day. While the recurring plan still has money waiting to be invested, that cash is counted at face value in its line so the two compare like for like.
Why compare with SOL?
It runs your exact schedule, but buying SOL instead. That shows whether simply accumulating SOL would have served you better than the token you picked.
What are drawdown and time under cost?
Max drawdown is the steepest fall of the portfolio value from an earlier peak. Days under cost counts the days when the recurring plan's holdings were worth less than the total contributed up to then.
What is left out?
Swap fees, slippage, taxes and thin early liquidity. Prices come from Jupiter daily candles (from mid-June 2024) and DefiLlama for earlier dates, with DefiLlama also patching gaps. The most recent point uses Jupiter's live price.
