Real Binance daily closes · updated 2026-08-25
What if I'd DCA'd into TRON?
Every number below is computed from real TRX/USDT daily closes on Binance — no simulations, no cherry-picked windows. Buys happen at the close of the first trading day of each month (or each Monday for weekly plans); the final valuation uses the latest close, and today is never a purchase.

What this page is not
DCA is not a magic edge — in markets that mostly went up, a lump sum usually ends higher, and the table above says so where it's true. What DCA buys is a smaller worst case and a plan a human can actually follow. Both are still passive plans with no exit rule: if you want to compare them against a strategy that defines when to sell, backtest one on the same market.
