The tiny JavaScript in this page generates a fake stock chart and shows whether dollar-cost averaging would increase gains, in addition to how much DCA reduces your price below the average price if you buy the same number of shares per week instead of using DCA.
The table below shows the current week number, the stock price, how much is bought that week, and how much is then owned by you.
Further down, we see the average stock price during the entire timespan, which you can compare with the average price that you actually paid by using DCA. Then, below that, we see how much the stocks you own are worth at the end of the entire timespan using DCA versus lump-sum investing. Sometimes, lump-sum is better. Other times, DCA wins.
In this demonstration of the DCA strategy, you're investing precisely $100 per week by default, so the number of shares you purchase varies with the price of the stock. For more information, see the article on DCA.
