And I imagine the title brought about a little curiosity, and you probably have some idea what I’m going to talk about.

It applies to long-term trading, swing trading, and day trading. The main focus of this podcast is the balance and trade-off between quality and focus when scanning.

Averaging Down — The Trade That May Never End
Averaging Down — The Trade That May Never End Feb 5, 2026 0:16:24 The term averaging can be confusing for newer traders. In simple terms, it means entering a stock at one price and then adding more shares later, which creates an average cost basis based on how many shares were purchased at each price.
