Does Dollar Cost Averaging works?

dollar cost averaging - DCA is a popular concept in the financial markets.
but please understand the concept of DCA before applying. 
this is only my view - 

markets moves in 3 directions - uptrend, sideways/recovery and downtrend.
DCA only works in the uptrend and sidesway/recovery markets and not downtrend market.
try DCA in nikkei market. i don't know how much u have make over here.

    Good point to ponder, but if apply on the STI, it would be a different story right? ;-)

    Take a longer time horizon for DCA. 10-20 years? I think it will pan out. Don't forget the dividends that wouldn't show up on the index.
