🎯 Synthetic Benchmarks
LibreFolio can overlay synthetic benchmark curves on any chart. Unlike technical indicators (which are computed from market data), synthetic benchmarks are generated mathematically, computed locally in the browser, and serve as visual reference lines — "what if the price had followed this ideal trajectory?"
They are invaluable for:
- Comparing actual returns against a target growth rate.
- Visualising what a disciplined investment plan would look like.
- Adding oscillatory or cyclic references for seasonality analysis.
