When it comes to purchasing the dip, it is not as horrible as it seems because there is a better way to do it than simply waiting for the dip; you may purchase using the DCA technique. And that is the most efficient approach to purchase and hold, and if you can demonstrate consistency, you won't have any issues when it comes to buying and holding. The DCA method is what most people know how to use, so you won't have to wait every time.

And for those who find it difficult to make purchases all at once, DCA helps you prepare and archive your goal of accumulating more money. In addition, you need to have a source of income and then have emergency funds. We should understand the purpose of having emergency funds because that way, you won't sell what you want because that is how it is supposed to be. Just consistency is what matters the most.

It's not that trading is a good option for someone who can't wait long. Rather, if someone already has a lack of patience, trading can make that problem worse. Because trading involves making frequent decisions and is more emotionally involved in short-term price movements. In my opinion, if you give advice, especially to a newbie, that "if you can hold it for a long time, then trade," it can be even more dangerous. Because his problem is probably not the market, he may have invested with money that he will need in a few weeks or months, or he may have entered with the expectation of quick profits. In that case, I think he should not go into trading, but instead reduce his investment amount, understand his own expenses and discretionary income well, and create a plan that is more reasonable for him that he can continue for several years.

 You can't give direct trading advice to a newbie. Because I clearly understand that trading can also cause losses to experienced people.

I don't actually knows your own definition of reserve funds, but I want you to understand that putting down reserve funds in place from your discretionary income while still accumulating consistently is not waiting for the dip as you think, because that reserve funds can be useful in the future, especially when their is a dip in the market.

Buying a dip or buying aggressively when the dip opportunity comes is never a problem as long as you are not waiting for it, because by waiting, you may miss a whole lot of buying opportunities that you should have bought and add to your stash, so it's never a wise decision to be waiting before buying, especially if you are a newbie or a no coiner that is just starting his accumulation journey.
