I understand that some traders divide their entries into 2, 3, or 4 to set up their positions, and I find this reasonable because it predefines the entry and stop loss zones.

However, in my trading style, it's unthinkable to add more position with the intention of averaging down on a losing position WITHOUT HAVING PLANNED IT BEFOREHAND. At the beginning, we've all blown up accounts with a single trade that didn't go as planned.
