If your broker does not let you sell an optionable stock short you
can create a synthetic short with options:
Buy a nearby put and sell a call short at the same strike.
I would not think of averaging a losing stock trade up or down but sometimes I daytrade scaling liquid options up and down because the risk is truly limited.
