I also using this method. But the gap between double up must be big enough. Well said, no risk no gain.

if going down to average down, it is all about your money / cost management, how much extra $$ you want to put vs your capital.
If too little, if rebounds or bearish mode is over even crash is recovering, not much effecf to one's total wealth.

if too much, some people may experience sleepless day because or over commitment.

And I agree average up is harder, and personally think I will stay away from average up. Normally average up will be caught by short term rebound....if people do it too frequent, the person more likely to play timing the market, end up cut down loss when downturn. When going up, sell too early.

When I bought the stock, if the price going down, it doesn't matter if I saw the value at least will be times 5 of the current price after a decade.
For some, it could be interpret it is a wrong move, but for some it is opportunity. Different people see different thing, so I am not trying to argue which way is better.
Timing no doubt is quite important, can improve one's performance, but the confidence, and the faith will to hold through bad situation is something I believed will deliver the return in the long run ( From investor perspective).
I were wrong in short term, but I know I will be rich in long term. But one can say, what happen you also wrong in the long run...for example holding MAS share 10 years ago? This totally depends on the investor business foresight and the only one he can blame is himself.

I know you're a trader, maybe a very outstanding trader. Averaging up is a really good tool for trend trading purpose.
Myself is an average investor and probably very bad trader, I know I am a bad trend reader / Technical Reader, that's why I only stick to my game.
For you, averaging up is feel more safer because that's your game plan, while mine different, I am comfortable with averaging down here.

Nothing wrong or right here,

Yea, I didn't say that trader must be fully trading based on chart.Some of the trader only trade very few of the stocks within a range of period for example 1 -2 years before the moving another few selection.

I just help this forum to classify the type of investor here, but the trader side too generalise already . Sorry didn't mention some of you, because there are too many people to recall

,
maybe people trying to be creative infuse the important news into chart? Chartist here may able to answer you

Thanks for the link, I do need some idea for small cap selection. Yeelee probably won't be a bad choice.
