Question for the community

I have now started investing and I wanted to ask how you do it or how it is best, I want an ETF $IWDA (+0.24%) 2-3 individual stocks and $BTC (-0.8%) save via a savings plan,

is it better to save weekly or monthly?

As far as I know, by saving weekly I would always drive back the entry price if the price is currently falling or something like that, please correct me.

and if the price rises in the meantime? The distance doesn't really matter, the main thing is that you invest.

Monthly is perfectly adequate. In the long term, it makes virtually no difference.

I run ETFs monthly and $BTC daily. I can't tell you why, it's just the way it is. 🤪

@Ash Where do you buy BTC every day?

@SCHLiCHTE_capital Strike. Savings plan is free of charge after one week and withdrawals to your wallet are also free of charge.

Congratulations on starting the investing journey!!

Don't pin me on it, but there are research articles stating that even once every 2 months is almost the same as once every month on the 30-40 year time horizon.

Consider your buying/broker costs and available capital as a relevant driver firstly before deciding.

For sake of mental clarity, monthly is the sweet spot. In the end, investing anything at all, is infinite times better than never investing.

It is best to set up an automatic savings plan with your broker.

I would not start a new savings plan for BTC at the moment. Wait for a significant setback (after a top). Incidentally, this also applies to individual stocks - be patient, then you'll get more out of it and sleep better.
Even if dca is always possible in principle, a new start at the ATH is frustrating for a long time.

Instead of the World ETF, I would look for another one. I ended up with the S&P500.
Somewhere someone once took the trouble to compare weekly and monthly savings. It was almost identical in the end.
