average risk varies, usually less then 1%. I pyramid my entries like=
200 shares first test
5000 shares #1st entry
1500 shares ADD
1500 shares ADD
1500 shares ADD
if 200 shares is not profitable, it gets exited,
if 200 shares flow correctly, and I see an even more bargain and something "clicks" in my brain yelling "low risk, sure thing", 5000 shares goes down.
once 5000 shares goes into profit, 1500 shares gets added, if thats profitable 1500 more shares get added.
pyramiding is only done in uptrends.
like that.
============
#1 An uptrend is a trend that doesn't go down at all.
