I`v Very recently decided to take the "lazy" path, up until now I`v been strategic DCAing, waiting for dips and buying, and it was fun for a couple of years, but now I`v just set up a regular Buy-order twice a month so I can pretty much just ignore it from now on, and only buy extra during dips if I feel like it.
I`m in it for a good 10 years from now anyway, so may as well just set-and-forget really, the thought of watching charts for the next 10 years really doesn`t appeal to me.
The really neat part was that I had an auto-buy last night and it was during the dip! I`d have had to stay awake all night to have caught it.
Well, if you have started your investment then it's good to hear that, but from my perspectives I don't support the ideas of you buying only during DIP as it's not a 100% good idea to buy only during the dip.
And also, you don't need any chart thing as you are not going for trading anyway, traders are the people that needs to read/study the charts before buying, but since you are in for long term investment it would be a good idea to just buy as a you are aware of the DCA strategy.
Certainly, I see a lot of traders coming into the investing space for quick gains etc. I believe what everyone should think of is how to buy on regular basis and avoid unnecessary drama for more benefit keeping our investment healthy for long run. If I’m not mistaking Katherine_Alicia is making use of dca and buying the dip from what I read it’s actually nice if an investor have the available money to invest on regular basis and still keep up with buying the dip, that’s a unique way of growing little investment but, firstly having an extra money to buy during the dip is not actually a force as everyone have their differences and situation, secondly the charts is a personal decision if an investor can successfully watch the charts without being tempted or panic but personally I will advice investors should not show concern when it comes to price movement or should we be talking about charts when investing for the long run? Because I feel it’s not necessary attaching bitcoin chart and investing when there’s nothing common between both.
