DCA weekly or monthly or lump sum? Does it matter?

I just read this on Optimized Portfolio:

Vanguard found in a 2012 study that for rolling 10 year periods in the U.S. from 1926 to 2011, using a 12-month DCA investment period, lump sum portfolios outperformed DCA portfolios 67% of the time. This number was virtually identical for markets outside the United States as well. Plenty of other researchers found the exact same results as early as over 40 years ago, but the recent Vanguard paper put things in concise, easily digestible terms for retail investors.

I (22M, Europe) have 3000€ spare that i can invest, but i dont know what ETFs should i invest and if i should DCA weekly, monthly or lump sum everything as soon as possible. Looking for a time horizon of 10+ years.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: right now i have 500€ invested. 60% all world, 35% sp500 and 5% India. I know about the heavy EEUU presence. Dont need to be kind, I'd love to know what Im doing wrong so I can fix it.
