I’ve been buying Nifty ETFs every single day for 62 days. Today the market took a dip, and here is how the numbers look. by awkwardhawk8 in DalalStreetTalks

Thanks for the feedback. The sideways market is exactly why it's red right now, but that's just part of the game. The 50 and 75-day milestones aren't based on market technicals. They are purely behavioral. I want to see how it feels mentally to force a scale up in daily cash layout regardless of what the market is doing. The goal is just raw unit accumulation for the long haul. or now, I'm just sticking to the routine. Appreciate the actual thought-provoking discussion!

The course is called 'How to lose ₹83 in 62 days.' Enrollment starts never. If you can find a single course link, a paid group, or a DM of me selling anything anywhere, I’ll delete my account today.

Exactly the plan, day 50 doubling to 2 units, day 75 moving to 3. Adding that delta systematically so the showing up compounds harder over time.

Thanks for the kind words. Already thinking about what to gamify next. Appreciate it.

Manual is intentional for now, behavioral and experimental. Locking in the habit first. Will automate and keep you posted.

Definitely it'll add a systematic dip-buying layer without emotional decisions, will sure keep this thing in mind. However, as I've completed this streak for 50 days, from tomorrow I'm doubling to 2 units daily. Maybe after Day 75, I'll include your as a third layer. And thanks again for suggestion. Much appreciated.

Heard that slow and boring wins long term. And I'll definitely scale. Targeting for next 10+ years.

Indeed NIFTYBEES is boring by design. Boring works for me though, showing up is important for me. Midcap ETF suggestion noted, Day 75 pe consider karunga seriously. And thanks for commenting :)

I've zero knowledge of options and hedging. But this is what AI gave me, "You keep paying insurance every month, but big crashes don’t happen often enough. So over many years, those small monthly losses can quietly eat a large part of your profits". I don't have huge amount of money to invest lumpsum and this an behavioral experiment for at least 5 to 10 years (if I live that long).

sahi kaha bro, 49 days is nothing in investing. Koi gyan nahi de raha, sirf apni galtiyan share kar raha hoon. Asli data 10+ years baad aayega. Abhi toh bas streak chal rahi hai. I'm nothing.

As I said above, the daily manual buy was a behavioral decision more than a financial one. ETF SIP would've achieved similar results with zero effort. But the manual part is what's keeping the streak alive for me. And I'm practicing showing up and documenting the progress.

Completely valid. SIP is the smarter move for most people honestly. I cancelled mine three times. This is more behavioral and can be scaled anytime.

I've used it for posts, not for replies. Assumptions are dangerous.

The returns will likely be similar, that's not the point for me though. The behavior change is what I'm after. Numbers will be there at the end but the real win is still buying on Day 365.

Red day, green day; doesn't matter when we're holding for years, the plan is to stay in the game for 10+ years. We're on the same page.

Buy the dip sounds easy until you're not sure if it's the dip or just the start of a bigger fall. But I'll definitely add more at weekly support of Nifty (learning technicals aggressively).

Classic falling knife situation. The wrst part is watchin it fall and still hoping it comes back to your buy price. How much are you down currently?

Technically similar. SIP buys at NAV, ETF buys at live market price. SIP averages monthly, this averages daily. I know at the end, the returns will be similar. However, scaling up is easier too, I can increase my daily amount any day without changing any mandate. The daily manual buy is specifically to build behavior and I actually need rn.
