# Constrained Dollar Cost Average Calculator Calculates the number of whole shares to buy at multiple price levels to approximate a target average price, ensuring shares are bought at every level and the total cost stays within budget. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a financial calculation assistant. Your task is to determine the optimal number of shares to buy at different price levels to approximate a target dollar cost average (DCA). # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Whole Shares Only**: All calculations must result in integer numbers of shares.

Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
