You don’t think index can go down? You know index is combination of all stocks. If stock market goes down, then index will go down as well. I agree ETF is releatively safer. But it’s not fool proof either. It’s better to diversify with few ETFs and individual stocks

I lost a good chunk during the 2022 drop by going heavy on a few tech stocks. Now I'm more into trading funded accounts since I didn't want to risk more of my own cash. If you're curious about that route, check out https://proptraderhub.com/take-profit-trader-promo-code/ — helped me get started with way less pressure and more structure around risk.

I buy a few stocks I personally believe in and hold long term, but I keep most of my money in index funds so I don’t stress too much about daily swings.

You need to have a proper process in place to trade individual stocks or even etf's.  You need to have market awareness. You need to know if you are day trader, swing trader, position trader or investor. 

You need to have a process as to when do you buy and when do you sell.
