About this metric
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the Indian market's name for the same mechanical idea as DCA: invest a fixed amount every month, no timing decisions. The simulation below invests $100 at the first close of each month — Indian investors can read the totals in INR terms using the current conversion shown, which keeps the math honest instead of assuming today's exchange rate held for the whole history.
Methodology

- All figures are calculated by CoinCrypTick from that raw data — nothing is quoted from third parties.
- Not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile; read the drawdown page before the returns page.

Frequently asked questions
Is a LTC SIP profitable historically?
A $100/month SIP started 13 December 2017 and held to 12 October 2026 returned -16% on $10,700 invested (-2.0% annualized on contributions).
How is this SIP backtest calculated?
Each month's investment buys at that month's first daily close; the holding is valued at the latest close. Fees, taxes (India: 30% flat + 1% TDS on sales) and slippage are not modeled.
SIP vs lump sum — which worked better for LTC?
Check the yearly returns table: years with big early gains favor lump sum; years that started badly favor the SIP's steady buying. The SIP's edge is behavioral — it removes the timing decision entirely.
