Myth: Averaging down always works to save a trade.
I used to swear by this, especially on my ADA and DOGE longs with 50x leverage. The math feels safe on paper, but what if the asset keeps falling, or just... *never* recovers? Each "dip" you buy on SOL at 100x just ties up more capital and drags your liquidation price closer. You run out of margin and get wiped out long before any "turnaround." That $5,400 loss taught me this the hard way.
Truth: Averaging down is a gamble, not a strategy for futures. It only works if the asset recovers significantly and you have unlimited funds with zero risk of liquidation. For most of us, it's a death spiral that guarantees losing even more.
Are you managing risk, or just hoping for a miracle?
