Do you fix you date of each month to buy? Share your execution?

usually at start of the month. There were a few times i bought 500usd twice instead, but then i realised its quite pointless to time the market.

So you don't have a fixed date?

Just fast sgd in, convert usd and buy with proceeds?

at the start of the month. if 1st or 2nd is on the weekend, i cant buy anything, so got to push to 3rd. IB fund transfer usually takes 1/2-1hour, but sometimes it takes a day. So i have to push back another day to buy the shares. 2020 march, my share value was about -40%. i can imagine some people to have their years of gains swiped out in just that few months. i think the key is to JUST DO IT monthly..and dca with about the same amount. dont need to overthink or try to time the market.

I did the same for 10 months of 2020 - Mar to Dec. I set 2nd and 4th Wed/Thurs of the month to do it. Executed a total of 20 times last year. And that's just only for iwda. I did another once a month for es3. So 30 trades last year. Damn tiring

maybe u consider doing it once a month instead. For es3, im using fsmone rsp; just need to make sure i have the cash by 8th. previously i used posb invest saver for g3b; change to es3/fsmone as the fees are much lower.

That was last year when I intensified my purchases. Now its just once a month for each of them (iwda and EIMI). I have stopped es3 for now
