Do you mean a timing mindset, where you hold cash until a market index drops a preset amount, and then immediately dump all cash into it, and if it rises a preset amount, you immediately sell all of it?

What would those presets be? Could you model this and see how that performs traditionally?

I think more like discrete functions of capital allocation in timeframes driven by a common trend
