IRA Contribution - Lump Sum vs. Monthly

When contributing the max. yearly amount to a Roth or Traditional IRA, do you recommend making a one time contribution (say max. $6,000) each year, or spread the contributions out monthly over the entire year (say $500/month x 12 months)? I was doing the monthly contributions for the dollar-cost averaging, but now thinking that I am missing out on that max. amount working for me for the entire year. Would love to hear other’s insights. Thank You

Many studies have shown that lump sum investing is better than DCA

Thank you very much for your replies. I will switch to yearly lump sum contributions.
