What is averaging down?

Averaging down means buying more units of an asset at a lower price than your current average, which reduces your overall average purchase price (cost basis).

Does averaging down guarantee a profit?

No. Averaging down reduces your break-even price but increases total capital at risk. If the asset continues to decline, your losses grow in absolute terms.
