Reading the Dogecoin numbers
The three-year weekly schedule made 157 purchases and accumulated 126770.9200 DOGE. The average cost of $0.1238 sits above today's price of $0.0799, so the position is underwater by $5,576.
Along the way the portfolio fell 69.5% from its peak at the worst point. That is the number to sit with before committing to a plan: if a drop that size would make you stop buying, the schedule is too aggressive.
Starting date changes everything
The table above shows the same DOGE at different start dates. Returns swing widely because a schedule that begins near a market top spends its first year buying into a decline, while one that starts in a trough compounds from a low base. Use the date pickers to test a start you actually have in mind.
