Isn't it better to add the winners?
I think the best thing is to know where the price is going
I do it constantly, best way to average into bottoms to get the most of out a swing. Adding to breakouts is a standard consideration, nothing wrong with adding to winners. Naysayers simply don't have the buying power to handle temporary losses and/or refuse to look into options to offset the temp loss or lock in alpha. Naysayers may also be in the habit of buying subpar stocks.
I have been researching.
Adding the winners is better.
Add winners = less risk

Oh, I’m sure you can blow out in no time adding to a stinker spread position as well.
From what I’ve seen over the years - most traders that blow out do so from adding to losing positions.
Conversely, I’ve seen traders make fortunes pressing winners. The key operative phrase being “winner”.

Well, I guess spreading is less sicker than just going all delta on one leg. That's what I was getting at, as I assumed that was what the OP was on about. Just adding into a losing single leg.
