Total Return (divi reivested)Total Return (Dividends Reinvested) — Price Scale
This indicator overlays a Total Return price line on the chart. It shows how the stock would have performed if all dividends had been reinvested back into the stock (buying fractional shares) rather than taken as cash.
The line starts exactly at the price level of the first visible bar on your chart and moves in the same price units as the chart (not indexed to 100).
Until the first dividend inside the visible window, the Total Return line is identical to the price. From the first dividend onward, it gradually diverges upwards, reflecting the effect of reinvested payouts.
Settings:
Reinvest at Open / Close — Choose whether reinvestment uses the bar’s open or close price.
Apply effect on the next bar — If enabled, reinvestment shows up from the bar after the dividend date (common in practice).
Show dividend markers — Optionally plots labels where dividend events occur.
Line width — Adjusts the thickness of the plotted Total Return line.
Use case:
This tool is useful if you want to compare plain price performance with true shareholder returns including dividends. It helps evaluate dividend stocks (like BTI, T, XOM, etc.) more realistically.
Compounded-returns
Compound Value @ annual rateBy studying historical data we can know the compounded growth rate of an investment from the inception date. For example if we know that an investment has grown at the rate of 6% in the past and if we expect similar growth in the future also, We can plot this graph to understand whether the current price is underpriced or overpriced as per projected return.
In this graph, it takes the initial close price as a principle and rate from the input and calculates the compound amount at each interval.
