    Can scaling/averaging down be a viable trading system?

    Why would you add to a losing position? If you want to scale, make sure you scale up. Add to winners and cut losers. That's my motto

    If I leave amibroker and IB TWS on all the time, then the backfill issue will not be a problem right? Won't the data be automatically added to your database if you leave the charts up all the time? Also, if you leave the charts up all the time and you click the backfill button will you lose...
