approx. -5.6% YTD

Well... I'm not in panic anyway. Just a bit frustrated with volatility and overall bearish trend for such a long period of time :-/
Will reduce DCA for now + remaining part of usual amounts will go to CMF, waiting for better times

Sort of Not really heart goes weak, but downtrend is too long and DCA-ing in full is increasing daily loss.
So, going to DCA twice less, and remaining money will go to CMF, once volatility calms down and there will
be some signs of consistent uptrend, i will use CMF-accumulated resource to top-up UT holdings.

I know it might be not a perfect/optimal tactics for now, but safer one for sure.

Well, market is rising is not the same as market starts recovery.
Same like buying low is not the same as catching the falling knife.

One has to decide for himself But sure it should not scare you off investing neither should it stop you saving/planning properly

Yes, I know what DCA is. Just its easier to use this acronym vs "I top up my unit trust holdings each x weeks according to my investment plan [.. details ..]
As for when I started... My UT portfolio at FSM is 8years old already, i guess. And sure thing I'm not rushing anywhere, some trial & error approach is fine with me
No one really knows. As I said, everyone to decide for himself

I have it addtnl to DIY one.

started managed portfolio nov 2017, continuously topping up same amounts monthly. Just turned green couple of days ago. about ~+0.5% or something like that.

Woah.... Dinasti -2.9% in one day
neg ~11% in 3 mo... Someone, please stop Trump

Not so bad, i guess..
my paper loss is 24k YTD

Totally agree
Well... one can feel uncomfortable seeing red, but the key is to control your emotions If you implementing DCA, stick to it. Don't let your emotions affect your investment strategy
Investing requires discipline. For me it's pain to see 4-5k losses daily, but all of these - "paper" loss, untill you lock em with panic sell.

Those are two different approaches. If you like to sit on cash for longer periods of time, trying to time markets (consider you loose some potential when waiting for an opportunity), etc - go ahead with it, but consider you need spend more time analyzing and... actually, you'd better go stock market rather than UT with this methodology. Maybe you want to become a professional investor another day and live from it.

For me, DCA suits better. I analyze portfolio performance and markets once in a 6 month for the rebalance options, in all other times - simply go DCA as planned each week. Sometimes, when have extra cash, then tossing more of it during "selloff" periods. This way i spend little to no time on this, focusing on my own work which provides my primary income.

For example, this year YTD my portfolio went ~-4%, but grand total is green and surely can absorb much more paperloss (DIY portfolio started 2010). My managed portfolio at FSM started about year ago, for now sits at -2% red, but i don't really care much

You probably mean kiss goodbye 2017-2018 gain...

depends on port allocation. I'm half-way into 2017 already.
As for wishing good luck, personally, i don't care much, but majority of people here won't share your wishes

quietly DCA-ing, waiting for volatility to calm down and looking to see steady trends for port rebalance if/where needed
in any case 2018 was tough

usually about a week. sometimes longer (longest i've had was almost a month)

Does anyone know what had happened to RHB Islamic bond? -4% in one day, no dividend announcements... weirdo
