You see a trader making massive profit on a single move. The secret is: **He didn't start big. He finished big.**
There are two ways to add to a trade. One leads to bankruptcy (**Averaging Down**). The other leads to wealth (**Pyramiding**). We will teach you the professional **Zero-Risk Scaling Strategy**.
1. The Deadly Sin: Averaging Down (Martingale Risk)
**Averaging Down** is the amateur strategy of adding more money to a **losing trade** to lower the average entry price. This strategy exposes the trader to **Martingale risk** (exponential loss) and often leads to margin calls.
**Rule:** Never add money to a losing trade. A loser is a loser. Kill it.

2. The Professional Edge: Zero-Risk Scaling
**Pyramiding** is the strategy of adding to **winning positions** only when the **Stop Loss (SL) is moved to Breakeven (BE)** or better. This allows you to finance new positions using **market's money**, not your own risk capital.

3. Tactical Execution: When and Where to Scale In
Do not add randomly. Add at **logical structural points** to ensure the trend remains valid.
- **Break and Retest:** Add when price breaks a resistance and retests it as support.
- **Pullback to EMA:** Add when price bounces off the 50 EMA.
- **New Structure:** Add when a new Higher Low/Lower High is confirmed.

4. Risk Quantification and Final Thoughts
Use the **Lot Size Calculator** to ensure your initial risk is precisely **1%**. Use the **Risk & Reward Calculator** to validate the original setup's potential.
**The Key:** Gamblers add to losers hoping to get out alive. **Pros add to winners** knowing the trend is their friend and their capital is **protected** (Zero Risk). Monitor the structural flow of the market via the Realtime Market Dashboard.
