What if you'd dollar-cost-averaged into Zcash instead of something else? Pick a start date, purchase frequency, and amount, then toggle any lines on or off — this simulates buying that much every period at real daily closing prices, not a smoothed or backtested estimate. QQQ/SPY use Yahoo Finance's dividend- reinvested (total-return) series, not plain price.
The return columns are money-weighted (XIRR), not a naive final÷initial ratio — each correctly discounts a purchase by how long it's actually been held, since a DCA position is never a single lump sum. Three fixed windows, all ending today: since Zcash's launch (2016-10-29), the trailing 5 years, and the trailing 1 year. Selected is whatever start date/frequency/amount you've set above, so it moves with the calculator. Sharpe/Sortino are different: they describe the asset's own daily-price volatility over that same selected window, independent of how (or whether) you dollar-cost-averaged into it — Sortino only penalizes downside swings, Sharpe penalizes both directions equally.
