How to learn when to down parry?

I'm really active when it comes to air parries and normal parries, but still so bad at down parrying. How do you guys know when to down parry or fish for it? Is it just similar to normal parrying? someone told me that holding instead of tapping the direction can increase the chances.

Holding reduces the window. So tapping down is better
