If you already have the lump sum with you, its better to go one shot than do DCA. If you dont have the lump sum then buy whenever you can accumulate enough to justify your transaction costs. DCA is simply a way for people with less control/discipline or no lumpsum to invest without thinking much about.
Take a look at the ETF price history and valuation to decide if the ETF is overpriced currently. If it is overpriced/overvalued, both lumpsum and DCA dont make sense...why buy something when its expensive?
