Allocation drifts
Silver runs, gold lags, or cash gets spent. A target percentage alone does not tell you what the next contribution should do.
Your weekly buy should follow a policy—not a hunch.
Track bullion purchases, opportunity cash, target ranges, cost base and performance—then turn each weekly contribution into a clear, repeatable purchase plan.
Evaluation release: version 1.0.0-rc.1 remains usable through August 31, 2026. Your records remain on your computer after the beta expires.
DCA is simple—until real life gets involved
A disciplined contribution plan becomes harder when premiums, cash reserves, uneven metal performance and prior purchases all pull in different directions.
Silver runs, gold lags, or cash gets spent. A target percentage alone does not tell you what the next contribution should do.
Premiums, fees, multiple fills and changing exchange rates make spreadsheet totals easy to break and hard to trust.
A written policy and visible target bands help you respond to price moves instead of chasing them.
One focused metals-planning workspace
Weekly purchase planning
Set target ranges for gold, silver and opportunity cash. The planner compares the live portfolio with those bands and produces a reviewable weekly action plan.
Portfolio accounting
Track fine ounces, total cost, current market value, unrealized gain or loss, contributions and available cash.
Performance history
Review portfolio value against net invested, saved weekly closes, daily history and gold or silver candlestick charts.
Transaction history
Record or import trades, including premiums and fees, while keeping duplicate imports from distorting the portfolio.
Built-in safety
The Planner checks its SQLite database at startup and retains automatic backups under your Windows user profile.
The core idea
A long-term metals plan does not need to rebalance to exact percentages every Friday. Set acceptable bands, protect opportunity cash, and use new contributions to pull the portfolio back toward policy.
Local first by design
Silver DCA Planner does not connect to a brokerage, place trades or require access to your investment account. Your transaction and policy database is stored locally under your Windows user profile.
Private evaluation release
Use it with a test portfolio or your own transaction history, then decide whether this is a tool worth continuing. The beta does not delete or lock your portfolio records when it expires.
Silver DCA Planner is evaluation software for recordkeeping and planning. It does not provide investment, tax or legal advice, and it does not guarantee market-data availability or investment results. Keep independent records and backups.
