  5. Pretty sure you're being facetious but anyway this is not about adding to losers lol especially intraday. The idea is to improve on a position you are prepared to hold possibly months or a year or more...so again is why I use ETFs and indexes to avoid all the earnings and other risks involved with companies.

  7. Hello wxytrader,

    I dollar cost SP 500 index in my 401K account when I get paid.

    What is wrong with adding to losers intraday? I did it and it makes money. I do not want to add to losers for no months and years. I trade intraday daily. You can do it intraday here as well and make some money.
