You heard of Paul Tudor Jones? There is or at least was a post-it at his screen . It's the second picture of him.

I think Paul Tudor Jones put a "don't average losers" in front of his eyes because he was prone to do itQuote from me1969:

Quote from KS96:
I don't average losers, if that's what you mean.
Got a sell yesterday at 09. Current stop is at 34.
Any short above 09 is an improvement of my
entry price. (I was only 1 contract short... while
I should be trading 2 initial size).
Quote from me1969:
This is exactly what it means: ... improvement of your entry prices.
Yes, I think P.T.J. did it much to often himself.
Quote from KS96:
I should have got 2 contracts short @ 09.
If I only have 1, then if I can short the 2nd
above 09 then it's a good price improvement.
Not everything is "averaging into a loser"...
this is rather a "scaling in".
