How often do you check your bank account balance, stocks or crypto portfolio? 📈 🤓

@alex_papageorge haha indeed, crypto exchanges are not regulated so there's no open and close market time ^^

@rashjbp for what reason? When you're waiting for a transaction to pass, for instance? :)

@benoit_chambon I get so busy, I know things are more or less fine, I just dont get time..is it unusual? I dont know

@benoit_chambon Sorry, I thought you are asking reason for not to open..Yea I open it to check some big transaction or like in year end to file taxes etc

@rashjbp I don't think so, it depends on people interest about their balance tracking :) I also know persons around me that check their portfolio or bank account quarterly ^^ Anyway, I do agree, it can take time, even more if you can have a quick and easy look on your account... Is it an issue you face?

@rashjbp Interesting :)

@chandan_shopify only this day? you never check your balance? :)

@josue_0 I think so too ;) What do you mean by "deeper" check? Do you mean checking your historical transactions? :)

@benoit_chambon Yes, historical transactions, performance so far (yearly rate of return), performance of each position (and whether its calculated yearly rate of return has achieved my target) and some research in order to decide whether to close some positions and/or open others.

@benoit_chambon haha, btw in my case that is for stocks, for crypto is totally different: in crypto I am basically only holding

@josue_0 wow, thanks for this accurate reply! If I may ask, why do you more focus on a yearly scale than monthly (for instance)?

@josue_0 Very interesting! As crypto exchanges are not regulated like traditional ones, they are not bound by open/close market time; as a result, we may assume that a "normal" crypto holder should be more active on its assets tracking than for its stocks portfolio. But it seems to be the exact opposite: you're not the first person telling me that is more active on stock markets watching ;)

@jack_davis7 Hahaha, you check everyday but do you consider yourself as an irrational investor then? ;) (I see what you mean btw, but my point is that I think irrational will remain irrational, no matter if they "hodl" or trade everyday, but I can be wrong haha!)

@fabian_maume Oh, very interesting. But what do you plan your order on? About your bank account checking frequency: why 15th and 30th? If I may ask... ;)

@benoit_chambon 15th & 30th of the month. is when I issue my clients invoice and check if the last were paid. I'm also deciding if I want to move more cash to saving. It isn't hard to know how much is left on your bank account for 2 weeks. For deciding when to make order: - When I move cash to saving on 15th & 30th I need to choose which position to open - I have alert for the spot price of the different assets I'm interested in. - When I discover some interesting asset I making fundamental analysis and then decide to take position or not.

@fabian_maume Wow thank you for this accurate answer! You seem very methodical! If I may, how do you receive price alert? Phone/desktop? Push/email? :)

@benoit_chambon Phone: Revolut & Delta apps.

@cedric_misner haha no don't worry about that! It's not about frequency only, it's all about the reasons of the frequency, so I'm a bit curious why you check it "couple of times a day" :)

@valentin_haarscher I guess excitement depends on the market's mood maybe? I must admit I check prices more often when it's bull market ;)

@benmorrison oh okay! Is it because you're in a "hodl" strategy?

@benoit_chambon - so I'll walk that back some - my previous statement stands for 95% of my overall financial portfolio. Whereas for the 5% I've got allocated to play with in Robinhood, I check multiple times a day out of curiousity (maybe boredom) - looking for stuff to buy. 💎🙌

@martin_delobbe1 I do agree haha! Maybe you'd spent less time in watching price variation if you could set up threshold-price alerts, right? ;)

@osborne_shona why? what do you track? :)

@nika_vinichenko thanks for your reply! If I may, does your notification come from your bank app or from another (like a banking accounts aggregator for instance)? :)

@benoit_chambon Banking application notification :)

@mou_jb So you have kind of a routine, do you?

@adrian_topka Haha fair enough :)

@pandacashback "little" ? Why? :)
