I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for

do you want zero downside, or is their some slippage factor that is acceptable?

what annualized upside % are you seeking?

most say one can not "time" the market but I'm not 100% sure that that is true

if one sits in cash 80%+ of the time

if one is sharp and has a solid feel for the market place

if one works at it

if one has a great deal of patience

it would seem to me that you could wait, wait, wait for all the stars to line up with 90% probability
pick your spot
jump in big time
take a % gain
go back to the cave

in January there was a blue moon; there will be one again in March; and no full moon at all in February

with my type A personality I never have nor likely never will try the about hit and run tactic

but can it be done?

maybe

thoughts?
