Happy New Year to you too.
At the end of the day, you're trying to time the market, which is much harder than you think.

@AI-Investor Thank you for your feedback - of course it is more time-consuming in any case. I'm just trying to answer the question for myself as to whether it might be a sensible alternative or supplement to bet on smaller price increases at high frequency rather than on a long-term and steady development with just a few trades.

@ag84 This is of course possible and is the bread and butter business of day traders.
The problem with this is that you are competing against these full professionals who are always 0.5s ahead of you with incredible AI supercomputers (via order book insight, for example) and who live from taking money out of the pockets of people like you.
As a small investor, you will necessarily lose out to these people. That's why most retail investors invest for the medium to long term. Day traders are not interested in this time span.

@Epi Yes, as a private individual with a full-time job, I don't see any chance of this on a daily basis either. Hence the idea of extending the investment period from 1 day to, for example, 1 month (or another time period).

@ag84 That would be one possibility. There are various interesting strategies on a monthly basis. I am also pursuing one myself with GTAA. I think it's exactly the right range for private investors. 👍

@Epi Thanks for the impulse. I didn't know GTAA yet. I'll take a closer look at it.
