I’d have to agree with you. I’ve got a Roth IRA too and I basically do my investment research, put all money it at once and buy my investment products.
Dollar cost averaging doesn’t seem useful when some of the mutual funds I buy have a $1000 minimum purchase prices. To use DCA I’d need to keep reinvesting in the funds and stock I already have and wouldn’t be able to diversify.

The other advantage to investing in lump sum appears if you intend to invest your Roth IRA money in individual stocks or ETFs. Most discount brokerages offer free mutual fund trades and while you pay a fee for stock/ETF purchases (except Zecco which has the reverse model). If you DCA while still investing in stocks/ETF at a typical discount brokerage you wind up paying a good chunk of money in fees over the course of a year. Conversely, if you invest that money in a lump sum you minimize the fees for the stock/ETF investments.

The bottom line here is that under most conditions, getting your money into the market as soon as possible is the best way to go. If I had $5000 to invest today, I would do so. If I only had $500, I would invest that too, and then invest another $500 next month, etc. There’s no point to stretching out a $5000 investment over time.
