Trader's Averaging Senario
  1. The trader currently holds a SHORT position in MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500), initiated at a purchase price of 4300.
  2. However, the price has now increased to 4360, resulting in a 60-point movement against the trader's SHORT position.
  3. Given the price per point of MES at $5 as per above table, the trader's current Profit and Loss (PNL) stands at $300 (60 points x $5 per point).
  4. The trader is experiencing a loss of $5 for each 1-point increase in the price because trader is in the SHORT position.
  5. With the intention of improving their position, the trader plans to average their trade by adding one more quantity, adding another 1 SHORT quantity.
  6. This adjustment would double the price per point to $10, meaning that every point's movement will now impact the PNL by $10.
  7. The new average price after averaging the trade position will be 4330, requiring the price to decrease to this level instead of the initial 4300 for the trader to break even.
  8. However, it is crucial to exercise extreme caution when averaging a position, as each added quantity will increase the price per point, thereby amplifying potential losses if the trade moves against the trader further.

Attention: When considering whether to take a Long or Short position on any financial instrument, it is crucial to adeptly compute the average price. Exercise utmost caution during the averaging process, avoiding hasty decisions. Understand that with each quantity added to your position, the price per point will increase. Take the time to evaluate the implications of averaging before proceeding.
