How long should I wait before adding to a losing position?

How this is calculated

• The recommended cool-down length increases with how deep the position is underwater and how many times you've already added to it, both signs the position may be growing beyond its original plan.
• This is a forced pause, not a decision tool. Use the average down losing position checklist during or after the cool-down to decide whether adding actually makes sense.
• Two or more prior additions to the same losing position triggers the longest suggested cool-down, since repeatedly adding to a loser is one of the more common ways a single bad trade turns into a large one.
• Nothing here is saved. The timer resets if you refresh or close the page.
