【Feature】The Truth of Dollar-Cost Averaging and Leverage Dollar-Cost Averaging Investment -03
“Pattern 03” assumes the following situations.
【Case】
Similar to Pattern 01, it is a flat market, butthe difference from Pattern 01 is the difference in the magnitude of the rise and fall.
In Pattern 01, we assumed cases where the rise and fall were in the same ratio, butthis simulation examines what happens when the fall has a larger ratio..
For example, after the initial purchase, it rose, then plunged, and eventually returned to the original level.
【Result】
・Number of purchases: Leverage 3x >Leverage 2x >No leverage
(the farther to the left, the more you have bought)
・Average purchase price: Leverage 3x < Leverage 2x < No leverage
(the farther to the left, the cheaper the purchases)
・Profit:Leverage 2x > Leverage 3x > No leverage
(the farther to the left, the greater the profit)
In this case, even though the price returned to the original value just like Pattern 02, profits occurred because many purchases were made during the plunge. However, due to the leverage during the decline, performance with Leverage 3x is worse. In that sense, Leverage 2x offers a good balance of risk and return.
・Other
This time it was a rise→fall pattern, but switching to fall→rise slightly improves returns for Leverage 2x and Leverage 3x. No leverage yields the same result.
