SCALING INTO TRADES 👀

Why traders scale into winning trades Instead of taking a small win off the table, traders sometimes add to strength. This is called scaling in, also known as averaging up, where your cost basis rises because the trade is working. This can feel backward to beginners, but the logic is simple: Add to winners, not losers. Scaling into strength means you’re increasing exposure when momentum and confirmation are present. Averaging down, on the other hand, adds to a position that’s already moving against you.. increasing risk without confirmation. Different strategies. Different risk profiles. Understanding the difference is key. For educational purposes only. Not financial advice.
