In my opinion, averaging is more likely to be dangerous, especially traders who are not used to it, especially those who have not mastered this strategy for a long time.

the advantage is that it can recover losses quickly and effectively, but if not used properly averaging will make big and fast losses too.

don't even use the averaging strategy because it is very risky, maybe at the beginning we are lucky to be able to return the profit, but over time we will often use this strategy even in normal trading conditions.

averaging strategy, in my opinion, will overwhelm traders if they can't use this strategy properly because other averaging strategies need large margins and also need good mastery.

I think the advantage of averaging is that it can recover losses quickly but the drawback is a risk if our analysis is not suitable then we can suffer big losses

All trading systems in my opinion have advantages and disadvantages including averaging systems or strategies which have a greater risk than the risk of a strategy in general.

don't try averaging strategy before we master it well, if you want to practice this strategy then we have to use a demo account or small capital because of the many disadvantages of this averaging system.

in my opinion every strategy or system will definitely have the same advantages and advantages as forex itself, which is to have risks and advantages.

Averaging included the most dangerous strategy like as martingale trading system, they will open a new position in one direction for every floating loss with expecting the trend will reversal, they need bigger capital to works because they will add new order when equity decreasing

Averaging technique is very risky and is not recommended for traders who have minimal funds.

the advantage of averaging is of course a large profit and can return a minus position to profit or break even while the loss is very risky and requires large capital.

in trading, if we use the averaging system, but we are inexperienced, we will get ready for big losses easily, if that happens then we will mentally fall and will be traumatized later.

the advantage of using the averaging trading system is that when you get a very large profit, you can get it, but if you experience a loss it will also be of great value

averaging system if it is not planned and done with a very good moment of management it will be very dangerous, because it can drain our balance very quickly and will be able to make a margin call very easily
