Your buys
Where you stand
Average price 90 on 30 units. At 85 the position is down $150.00 (-5.56%).
- Back to even
- The price must rise 5.88% to get back to even.
- Paid in total
- $2,700.00; worth $2,550.00 now.
- After buying 10 more at 85
- Average 88.75 on 40 units, so even is a 4.41% rise away. But each further 10% fall now costs $340.00 instead of $255.00.
Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
Averaging down moves the line, and the risk with it
Ten shares at 100, ten at 90 and ten at 80 average 90. At 85 the position is down 150, and the price needs about 5.9% to get back to 90. Ten more at 85 lower the average to 88.75, so a 4.4% rise is enough. The same buy makes every further fall bigger: 40 shares lose more than 30. Lowering the average is not the same as lowering the risk.
To size a new buy against a stop, use the position size calculator for stocks and crypto; for gold and forex trades in lots, the break-even of several trades.
Not advice. The answer is arithmetic on the numbers you type, not a view on any stock or coin.
