The Story Behind MissedAlpha
"Time in the market beats timing the market."
We built MissedAlpha with a single question in mind: What if?
What if you had bought Amazon in 2001? What if you held onto your Bitcoin instead of selling it for pizza?
MissedAlpha is not just a calculator; it is a financial time machine designed to visualize the power of long-term investing and compound growth.
How We Calculate (Our Methodology)
Unlike simple percentage calculators found elsewhere, MissedAlpha runs a professional-grade simulation engine that accounts for real-world complexity:
Stock Splits
We automatically adjust historical prices for stock splits (e.g., Nvidia's 10-for-1 split), ensuring your "share count" is mathematically accurate.
Dividends
We track historical cash dividend payments to show your "Total Return," not just price appreciation.
Multi-Currency Logic
For international investors (e.g., investing in US Stocks with Turkish Lira or Euros), our engine calculates the daily historical exchange rates to show the true impact of currency devaluation or appreciation.
Data Sources
We aggregate data from premium financial APIs and cross-reference historical events to ensure high precision.
Our Mission
Financial literacy starts with understanding history. Our goal is to provide transparent, accurate, and unbiased historical data to help retail investors understand the volatility and potential of global assets.
Who We Are
MissedAlpha is an independent project developed by software engineers and data enthusiasts passionate about fintech. We are not a brokerage, we are not financial advisors, and we do not sell assets. We are builders who love data.
