what is clear is that if we don't have a strong mentality, good skills and enough experience then we will be destroyed more easily when we use this averaging system.

Averaging
Is a trading technique by opening an order in the same direction as the previous order with the same lot.
In my opinion, there are two types of averaging, the first is plus averaging, and the second is minus averaging.
Averaging plus is done when the previous order has experienced a profit, and the trader returns to the delivery order with the aim of getting a bigger profit.
Averaging minus is done when an order that previously suffered a loss but is not closed, then the trader returns to the order in the same direction with the hope that the price can reverse again and the resulting profit can also cover losses from the previous order.

Trading by using averaging if not done with a good skill and enough experience will be very disadvantageous

For me, if this system is run by people who don't have good skills, it will do a lot more

Advantages and disadvantages of trading using an averaging system??

Personally, in my opinion, the advantage used in trading using the averaging system is to minimize losses that occur in stop losses so that a student is not wary of the losses they will get, while the loss of trading using the averaging system is to get the expected profit, because it is accumulated on average. sad words to get a large profit as expected cannot be applied using the averaging system

Averaging techniques are actually very profitable if we can apply it correctly and precisely. Right in the sense of LOT settings, risk management in accordance with the trading plan and right in the sense we can read the beginning and end of a trend. When our op averaging is appropriate, then in a short time, once we close the averaging position, we can profit up to hundred%. Or if we floating loss akn faster because the number of pips for the BEP is reduced.
The requirement for applying averaging techniques is actually quite easy, namely 100% absolute emotional control. If not then the MC will wait. Please note the averaging technique that made Jesse Livermore successful in trading and also made him depressed. I personally used the averaging technique down, but failed because of lack of emotional control. Now more to Set and Forget Op.
My advice if using this technique should only be limited to 2-4 OP and use a stop gloss.

I think trading by averaging if it's not run well it will be very detrimental or fast enough to make us experience a large number of losses, therefore we must be careful before running this averaging trading system

averaging if carried out without sufficient recognition and mentally ready for it then it will be easy to attack our psychology and make us great losses

If you have little capital you should not trade with averaging because this is a dangerous thing, we should only trade one or two positions

averaging the system must be carried out by traders who are already experienced well and have good skills, otherwise the averaging will quickly make us margin calls
