Position Scaling Strategies
Equal Distribution
Risk is distributed equally across all entry positions. Simple approach best for ranging markets.
Pyramid (Decreasing)
Larger position at initial entry, followed by smaller positions as the trade moves in your favor. Maximizes profits while limiting risk.
Averaging Down (Increasing)
Small initial position with larger positions added at better prices. Can improve average entry but increases risk if the market continues against you.
Custom Allocation
Manually set lot sizes for full control over risk distribution across entries.
When to Use Scaling
- •When you expect volatility and want to capture a better average entry
- •During trending markets to add positions on pullbacks
- •To reduce risk by building a position gradually instead of all at once
- •When trading around major support/resistance levels with uncertainty
Scaling Risks
- •Averaging down can worsen losses if price continues to move against you
- •Scaling in can lead to emotional attachment to losing positions
- •Complex position management can lead to execution errors
- •May reduce profit potential compared to a single optimal entry
