A (much) more conservative approach might be doable - scale-in buy (in equal amounts though) -- large indexes only; SPY/ES, QQQ/NQ -- during (after) weakness, at support areas, up to a set and reasonable amount of total capital after more weakness. Wait for the inevitable ramps up, scale-out sell into strength. As usual, the timing is sometimes tough.

This is what comes the closest -- for me -- to working most of the time, in the long run.
