Basically thinking about a system where I’m 2% cash when I feel the market is down and 5-10% when I think the market is up. But wanted other thoughts on it as I do know the general idea is just DCA.
If you Google dollar cost averaging v lump sum investing, you'll find that the math says lump sum investing wins. DCA is based on wage earners/regular income investing a percentage every payday. That is better than saving up and putting it all end at the end of the year (or market timing or whatever). If you already have money, the lump sum investing data shows that putting it all in ASAP is the best bet. Time in the market is the trump card.

Right now, I put it in as I earn it. So that just kind of naturally dollar cost averages anyways even though I’m putting it all in as soon as I get it.
