Splitting the Decision Into Pieces

Scaling trades a better average for a smaller position, and both directions have a cost worth naming.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00You do not have to take the whole position at one price.
  2. 0:05Scaling in. Smaller first entry, added to as the idea proves itself. Costs you the best price.
  3. 0:14The dangerous version. Adding to a losing position is not scaling in. It is increasing a failing bet.
  4. 0:23Scaling out. Selling part at a target locks something in and caps what the rest can earn.
  5. 0:32The honest accounting. Scaling out reduces variance and reduces expectancy. Both, always.
  6. 0:40Decide the scale plan before entry, and never add to a loser.
