🧠 Trading Lessons | Every add-on lowered the average… and increased the size of the problem.
(Illustrative scenario)
A hypothetical trader added to a losing position because the price had become cheaper. They didn’t check whether the reasons behind their analysis still held.
As the decline continued, they discovered that the breakeven point was closer, but the potential loss was larger. A lower price didn’t make the risk lower.
📌 Lesson: Adding to a position requires a plan and an overall risk limit; it’s not an automatic way to save a failed thesis.
👇 How do you tell the difference between a planned add-on and an attempt to rescue a trade?
