Luma DCA Simulator (BTC only)
Luma DCA Simulator – Guide
What is the Luma DCA Simulator?
The Luma DCA Tracker shows how regular Bitcoin investments (Dollar Cost Averaging) would have developed over a freely selectable period – directly in the chart, transparent and easy to follow.
Settings Overview
1. Investment amount per interval
Specifies how much capital is invested at each purchase (e.g. 100).
2. Start date
Defines the point in time from which the simulation begins – e.g. 01.01.2020.
3. Investment interval
Determines how frequently investments are made:
– Daily
– Weekly
– Every 14 days
– Monthly
4. Language
Switches the info box display between English and German.
5. Show investment data (optional)
If activated, the chart will display additional values such as total invested capital, BTC amount, current value, and profit/loss.
What the Chart Displays
Entry points: Each DCA purchase is marked as a point in the price chart.
Average entry price: An orange line visualizes the evolving DCA average.
Info box (bottom left) with a live summary of:
– Total invested capital
– Total BTC acquired
– Average entry price
– Current portfolio value
– Profit/loss in absolute terms and percentage
Note on Accuracy
This simulation is for illustrative purposes only.
Spreads, slippage, fees, and tax effects are not included.
Actual results may vary.
Technical Note
For daily or weekly intervals, the chart timeframe should be set to 1 day or lower to ensure all purchases are accurately included.
Larger timeframes (e.g. weekly or monthly charts) may result in missed investments.
Currency Handling
All calculations are based on the selected chart symbol (e.g. BTCUSD, BTCEUR, BTCUSDT).
The displayed currency is automatically determined by the chart used.
