Stock Return Calculator: Returns for Buy on Price Upsides and Downsides
This calculator evaluates buying strategies triggered by significant upside price momentum or downside price dips for any stock, exchange-traded fund (ETF), or mutual fund supported by Alpha Vantage. Indexes are not supported. Whenever the adjusted closing price moves up or down by at least your specified percentage threshold from the prior period, the calculator simulates purchasing your investment amount on that move date and tracks its return through the most recent closing price. Select any individual upside or downside move from the menu below to inspect the growth of your investment over time.
