What averaging down means
If a stock you own falls, buying more at the lower price brings your average cost down. Then the stock needs a smaller rise for you to make a profit.
FormulaShares to buy = Owned x (Average - Target) / (Target - New price)
A word of care
Averaging down puts more money into a stock that is falling. It works best when you still believe in the company. Many traders set a limit on how much they add.
