I Am Thinking of Investing More Whenever the Market Falls. Does That Strategy Work.

Ah, I’ve been wondering about this exact same thing myself since I started practicing on the simulator! It makes sense in theory that buying when prices drop means you get more shares for your money, but I keep worrying the market might just keep falling after I buy. Does anyone know if there's a specific way experienced folks decide *when* a dip is actually a good time to jump in, or do you just buy a little bit every time it goes red?

Averaging down when the market dips is a solid strategy on the NGX for long-term plays, but only if the fundamentals of the stocks you are eyeing actually support it. Since you are using the simulator right now, practice deploying your cash in tranches rather than dropping everything at once, because a bearish correction can easily stretch longer than expected. That patience helps protect your simulated capital and ensures you are actually getting better entries instead of catching a falling knife.
