DCA Cost Basis (with Lump Sum)

9月15日

DCA Cost Basis (with Lump Sum) — Pine Script v6

This indicator simulates a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) plan directly on your chart. Pick a start date, choose how often to buy (daily/weekly/monthly), set the per-buy amount, optionally add a one-time lump sum on the first date, and visualize your evolving average cost as a VWAP-style line.

[br][br]
Features

• Customizable DCA Plan — Set Start Date, buy Frequency (Daily / Weekly / Monthly), and Recurring Amount (in quote currency, e.g., USD).
  
• Lump Sum Option — Add a one-time lump sum on the very first eligible date; recurring DCA continues automatically after that.
  
• Cost Basis Line — Plots the live average price (Total Cost / Total Units) as a smooth, VWAP-style line for instant breakeven awareness.
  
• Buy Markers — Optional triangles below bars to show when simulated buys occur.
  
• Performance Metrics — Tracks:
  Total Invested (quote)
  Total Units (base)
  Cost Basis (avg entry)
  Current Value (mark-to-market)
  CAGR (Annualized) from first buy to current bar
  
• On-Chart Summary Table — Displays Start Date, Plan Type (Lump + DCA or DCA only), Total Invested, and CAGR (Annualized).
  
• Data Window Integration — All key values also appear in the Data Window for deeper inspection.
  

[br]
Why use it?

• Visualize long-term strategies for Bitcoin, crypto, or stocks.
  
• See how a lump sum affects your average entry over time.
  
• Gauge breakeven at a glance and evaluate historical performance.
