Frequency comparison
Weekly vs monthly DCA
Same annual capital, different cadence. Historical S&P 500 results — then see how adaptive weekly sizing changes the outcome.
| Contribution | Weekly ending | ≈ Monthly ending | SteadyGrow (weekly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100/wk ≈ $433/mo (2015-01-02 → 2026-08-28) | $159,029 | $158,902 | $205,968 |
| $250/wk ≈ $1083/mo (2015-01-02 → 2026-08-28) | $397,573 | $397,446 | $514,919 |
| $500/wk ≈ $2167/mo (2015-01-02 → 2026-08-28) | $795,146 | $795,273 | $1,029,838 |
Matched capital uses 115≈ weekly equivalent math (monthly × 12 / 52). Frequency alone rarely dominates — contribution sizing through regimes usually matters more.
SteadyGrow is a weekly (or monthly) deploy signal
We don't argue weekly vs monthly as a religion. We change how aggressively you deploy new capital when markets look cheap or stretched.
