Is it better to stay invested in market or buying when there is a dip using the accumulated amount ?

Can we make more money by investing only when the market falls by more than 5 percent ? 

Idea sounds good until we take a look at the numbers. But, don't forget we might also miss some good market runs if we don't invest. 

I tested the monthly data from Jan 2009 to Jan 2021.  Making investment at the end of month, we acccumulated 10191 Niftybees whose value at the end of Jan 2021 was 14.8 Lakh. 
Total amount invested was 7.19 Lakhs.

But, if we keep on accumulating the money and invest only when the market falls by more than 5 percent. We had 9260 Niftybees whose value is 13.52 Lakhs. 

If we keep SIP on, we will make 9.46 percent more returns in NIFTYBEES.

I have not considered any returns on the accumulated money that is lying idle in the bank. If we consider that too, more or less returns will be same.

Why people are not able to make money by investing?

The answer is impatience.

If you buy 10 stocks, 5 of them are gonna rise and 5 of them are gonna lose(just taking a 50% scenario). People will book profit as soon as those 5 stocks rise by 10% and they will keep hold on to their losers.

But, if someone just keep holding on to both losers and gainers, they will surely make money.

Business today mentioned 13 stocks in  may 2014. I did this study around 2 months back so profits are calculated as per that and overall profit was 60%. I have taken split into account too.

One could do that on today's price and would still find it profitable.

Some of them are going are give tremendous trends and some will lose but overall had 60% gain over 2 year span.
