Lump sum versus DECA into LETFs from a non-leveraged account

Hey all,

Curious what the sentiment is here, my strategy in the past has generally been a mix of Lump sum (usually 50%) and then weekly purchases of that stock and/or DECA a share or whatever makes sense up until a certain point. Wondering if there is an optimal investment strategy for buying “into” leveraged positions versus starting with a lump sum of an entire portfolio.

In the account I plan on doing it, I am pretty much entirely in VOO. I am planning on going into UPRO(15%) to get effectively 1.45 leverage.

Or does it make more sense to try and swing trade based upon the 200MA and build a position from there.

Curious what people thoughts are

Still doing some digging to see what the optimal strategy is to max profits and minimize downsize risk (I have looked at the portfolio challenge too, so don’t worry about that lol) and may do that but as of now my plan is do a VOO/upro split
