How we calculate this
  • Prices are Yahoo Finance adjusted closes (dividends reinvested, splits applied).
  • Investments scheduled on market holidays execute at the next trading day's close (T+1 policy). Bitcoin trades 24/7, so BTC investments execute on the exact scheduled date.
  • For daily and weekly schedules, when multiple scheduled days roll forward to the same trading day (e.g., Saturday + Sunday both land on Monday), we count one investment on that day, not two. Daily DCA on stocks works out to ~252 executions per year; on Bitcoin, 365 per year.
  • IRR is computed via bisection on cashflow NPV, annualized from monthly cashflows.
  • All dates are treated as UTC. Prices are NYSE closing prices (for stocks) or UTC 24-hour closes (for Bitcoin).
