Dollar Cost Averaging smooths the timing: you buy more shares when prices drop, fewer when they rise. A proven approach for long-term investors.

Set a goal. Polaris computes the monthly contribution needed to reach it.
The 4% rule (Bengen, Trinity Study). FIRE = Financial Independence, Retire Early — capital = 25× your annual spending.
You'll be able to withdraw 3 333 $/month without touching your capital (at the 4% rate).
1000 simulated paths with random normal(μ, σ) returns. You see a realistic range (p10–p90) instead of a false exact figure.
More runs = more precise but slower. 1000 = good compromise.
Historical S&P 500 volatility: 15–18%/yr. Normal distribution = simplification (fatter tails in reality). Educational only.
Without adding capital, compute the trades to return to your target allocation. Does not account for fees or taxes (consider manually).
