You're hoping to "buy the dip" here, right? You can set up a stop order to do that. It'll just have to be for the ETF version of a fund.

There's no upside to buying the dip for you. It's exhasting how any HN investing discussion gets watered down by unsolicited anti-intellectual personal finance advice.
