Mine is simple and the best. Buy low, wait, sell high. 
For extra I do day trading when there is panic making the price swing up and down.
Don't force yourself to trade that much, take some distance from time to time.
That sounds like the best way to do it. You have a good point about not feeling compelled to trade all the time. If you only do it when the prices are really getting low and sell it only when the prices get higher you will be in a much better position than if you trade whenever something looks like it went down a little. Its also less work For extra I do day trading when there is panic making the price swing up and down.
