On the other hand, I think the DCA method will be more favourable to the smaller investors when the market is bullish because if a small investor decides to DCA when the market is red, there are obvious possibilities that, it might get liquidated depending on how much has been imputed already.
How? you only get liquidated when you sell but you aren't selling when you're DCA. You keep hodling as you DCA until you get to your goal. You don't DCA and be selling too, that doesn't make any sense.
You're supposed to DCA with an amount that isn't above your risk tolerance. A big mistake most newbies make is that they DCA with an amount that they can't tolerant losing.
And when they see their investments losing value it becomes a cause for alarm for them because they haven't experienced something like that before and thought their investments is only going to be rising and not having some correction.
Telling newbies to DCA is the best decision that you can give to them and they can do it at all times but to get better results, they should do it during the red more than the green.
