DCA Investment Tracker Pro [tradeviZion]DCA Investment Tracker Pro: Educational DCA Analysis Tool An educational indicator that helps analyze Dollar-Cost Averaging strategies by comparing actual performance with historical data calculations. --- 💡 Why I Created This Indicator As someone who practices Dollar-Cost Averaging, I was frustrated with constantly switching between spreadsheets, calculators, and charts just to understand how my investments were really performing. I wanted to see everything in one place - my actual performance, what I should expect based on historical data, and most importantly, visualize where my strategy could take me over the long term . What really motivated me was watching friends and family underestimate the incredible power of consistent investing. When Napoleon Bonaparte first learned about compound interest, he reportedly exclaimed "I wonder it has not swallowed the world" - and he was right! Yet most people can't visualize how their $500 monthly contributions today could become substantial wealth decades later. Traditional DCA tracking tools exist, but they share similar limitations: Require manual data entry and complex spreadsheets Use fixed assumptions that don't reflect real market behavior Can't show future projections overlaid on actual price charts Lose the visual context of what's happening in the market Make compound growth feel abstract rather than tangible I wanted to create something different - a tool that automatically analyzes real market history, detects volatility periods, and shows you both current performance AND educational projections based on historical patterns right on your TradingView charts. As Warren Buffett said: "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." This tool helps you visualize your financial tree growing over time. This isn't just another calculator - it's a visualization tool that makes the magic of compound growth impossible to ignore. --- 🎯 What This Indicator Does This educational indicator provides DCA analysis tools.

Future Projection 🔮 Enable Projections: Toggle on to see future growth visualization Projection Years: Set 1-30 years ahead for analysis Live Example - NASDAQ:META Analysis: Settings shown: $60K initial + $500/month + Auto calculation + 10-year history + 2020 start + $150K current value --- 🔬 Pine Script Code Examples Core DCA Calculations: // Calculate total invested over time months_elapsed = (year - start_year) * 12 + month - 1 total_invested = initial_investment + (monthly_contribution * months_elapsed) // Compound growth formula for initial investment theoretical_initial_growth = initial_investment * math.pow(1 + annual_return, years_elapsed) // Future Value of Annuity for monthly contributions monthly_rate = annual_return / 12 fv_contributions = monthly_contribution * ((math.pow(1 + monthly_rate, months_elapsed) - 1) / monthly_rate) // Total expected value theoretical_total = theoretical_initial_growth + fv_contributions Volatility Detection Logic: // Detect extreme years for volatility adjustment extreme_years = 0 for i = 1 to historical_years yearly_return = ((price_current / price_i_years_ago) - 1) * 100 if yearly_return > 100 or yearly_return < -50 extreme_years += 1 // Use median approach for high volatility stocks high_volatility = (extreme_years / historical_years) > 0.2 calculated_return = high_volatility ? median_of_returns : standard_cagr Performance Metrics: // Calculate key performance indicators absolute_gain = actual_value - total_invested total_return_pct = (absolute_gain / total_invested) * 100 roi_initial = ((actual_value - initial_investment) / initial_investment) * 100 cagr = (math.pow(actual_value / initial_investment, 1 / years_elapsed) - 1) * 100 --- 📊 Real-World Examples See the indicator in action across different investment types: Stable Index Investments: AMEX:SPY (SPDR S&P 500) - Shows steady compound growth with standard CAGR calculations Classic DCA success story: $60K initial + $500/month starting 2020. The indicator shows SPY's historical 10%+ returns, demonstrating how consistent broad market investing builds wealth over time. Notice the smooth theoretical growth line vs actual performance tracking. MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - Shows both data limitation and solution approaches Data limitation example: VUAA shows "Manual (Auto Failed)" and "No Data" when default 10-year historical setting exceeds available data. The indicator gracefully falls back to manual percentage input while maintaining all DCA calculations and projections. MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - European ETF with successful 5-year auto calculation Solution demonstration: By adjusting historical period to 5 years (matching available data), VUAA auto calculation works perfectly. Shows how users can optimize settings for newer assets. European market exposure with EUR denomination, demonstrating DCA effectiveness across different markets and currencies. NYSE:BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway) - Quality value investment with Warren Buffett's proven track record Value investing approach: Berkshire Hathaway's legendary performance through DCA lens. The indicator demonstrates how quality companies compound wealth over decades. Lower volatility than tech stocks = standard CAGR calculations used. High-Volatility Growth Stocks: NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) - Demonstrates volatility-adjusted calculations for extreme price swings High-volatility example: NVIDIA's explosive AI boom creates extreme years that trigger volatility detection. The indicator automatically switches to "Median (High Vol): 50%" calculations for conservative projections, protecting against unrealistic future estimates based on outlier performance periods. NASDAQ:TSLA (Tesla) - Shows how 10-year analysis can stabilize volatile tech stocks Stable long-term growth: Despite Tesla's reputation for volatility, the 10-year historical analysis (34.8% CAGR) shows consistent enough performance that volatility detection doesn't trigger. Demonstrates how longer timeframes can smooth out extreme periods for more reliable projections. NASDAQ:META (Meta Platforms) - Shows stable tech stock analysis using standard CAGR calculations Tech stock with stable growth: Despite being a tech stock and experiencing the 2022 crash, META's 10-year history shows consistent enough performance (23.98% CAGR) that volatility detection doesn't trigger. The indicator uses standard CAGR calculations, demonstrating how not all tech stocks require conservative median adjustments. Notice how the indicator automatically detects high-volatility periods and switches to median-based calculations for more conservative projections, while stable investments use standard CAGR methods. --- 📈 Performance Metrics Explained Current Portfolio Value: Your actual investment worth today Expected Value: What you should have based on historical returns (Auto) or your target return (Manual) Total Invested: Your actual money invested (initial + all monthly contributions) Total Gains/Loss: Absolute dollar difference between current value and total invested Total Return %: Percentage gain/loss on your total invested amount ROI from Initial Investment: How your starting lump sum has performed CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate of your initial investment (Note: This shows initial investment performance, not full DCA strategy) vs Benchmark: How you're performing compared to the expected returns --- ⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations Data Requirements: Auto mode requires sufficient historical data (minimum 3 years recommended) CAGR Limitation: CAGR calculation is based on initial investment growth only, not the complete DCA strategy Projection Accuracy: Future projections are theoretical and based on historical returns - actual results may vary Timeframe Support: Works ONLY on Daily (1D), Weekly (1W), and Monthly (1M) charts - no other timeframes supported Update Frequency: Update "Current Portfolio Value" regularly for accurate tracking --- 📚 Educational Use & Disclaimer This analysis tool can be applied to various stock and ETF charts for educational study of DCA mathematical concepts and historical performance patterns.

Investing Performance with vs without fees Hello traders, I had a chat with a friend recently who's using a fund manager services to invest for him in some US-based ETFs tracking the US indices. I showed him using an online tool that those 2% annual fees he's paying to his fund manager are eating a lot of his profit overtime. As I had some time, I decided to code this simulator in Pinescript because .... why not :) @RicardoSantos already did that Compound Interest function () I added the n parameter being the number of times the interest is compounded per unit of time Compound interest is calculated using the following formula CI = P*(1 + R/n) (n*t) – P Here, P is the principal amount. R is the annual interest rate. t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for. n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t, for example if interest is compounded monthly and t is in years then the value of n would be 12. If interest is compounded quarterly and t is in years then the value of n would be 4. For now, the script only works on a yearly chart - I might update it later making it compatible with other chart timeframes - assuming there is some demand for it If there is, let me know in the comments down below All the best Dave

Compound Value @ annual rate By studying historical data we can know the compounded growth rate of an investment from the inception date. For example if we know that an investment has grown at the rate of 6% in the past and if we expect similar growth in the future also, We can plot this graph to understand whether the current price is underpriced or overpriced as per projected return. In this graph, it takes the initial close price as a principle and rate from the input and calculates the compound amount at each interval.
