Hey PH 👋 I'm Paschal, maker of Kistack. The idea started with a simple frustration. Every time I wanted to check something basic — "what if I'd just DCA'd into SPY for the last 10 years?" — the answer was buried in quant tools full of code and jargon, or scattered across spreadsheets I had to build myself. For a question that simple, the friction felt absurd. So I built Kistack, a backtesting simulator for everyday investors. Pick a ticker (SPY, QQQ, SCHD, individual stocks too), set your date range and amount, choose DCA or lump sum — and in under a second you get CAGR, max drawdown, and what your money would have become. Dividends, splits, and adjusted close are all baked in, with 30+ years of history covering full market cycles, crashes included. One thing I cared about deeply: Kistack doesn't recommend anything. No "buy this ETF" nudges, no hot picks. Our whole philosophy is we compute, you decide. I think everyday investors don't need more opinions — they need clean numbers they can trust. That's why every formula is cross-checked against an independent verification algorithm, with error margins below 0.001%. Honestly, the moment that keeps me going is watching someone run their first backtest and go "wait, the drawdown was that deep?" Seeing the data changes how you think about risk in a way no article can. Free to start, no credit card needed. What would you want to backtest first?
