How dollar-cost averaging PAXG works
PAXG tracks the price of gold in token form. A DCA plan buys a fixed dollar amount on a schedule rather than one lump entry.
CoinOperated supports recurring PAXG buys from Arc USDC when you choose that plan in the app.

Methodology & data
Each simulated buy uses PAXG's USD price from the latest stored Chainlink round at or before that instant. Coins bought = amount × (1 − 0.5%) ÷ price. Current value = coins × latest price. Average cost = total invested ÷ coins. Lump sum deploys the same total invested at the first scheduled price. The 0.5% fee models LI.FI and CoinOperated percentage fees only; gas and bridge costs are not included.

Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes. It is free, and you do not need an account or a wallet to run a backtest.
Are these real returns?
No. Results are hypothetical, based on stored Chainlink rounds and a fixed 0.5% fee assumption per buy. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Where does the price data come from?
CoinOperated stores Chainlink USD rounds in its database. Each simulated buy uses the latest round at or before that time. The methodology section explains the fee.
Does buying weekly beat buying daily?
Over long periods the totals are usually close when you keep the same overall budget. More frequent buys smooth your average entry price, but neither schedule is guaranteed to do better.
Can I run this schedule automatically?
CoinOperated supports recurring PAXG buys from Arc USDC when you choose that plan in the app. This page only illustrates historical PAXG prices; it does not promise availability in every region.
Who holds the coins?
You do. Coins go to your 1Shot wallet or to an external wallet you choose.
