Many people like to "add to positions in batches." It looks safe, but in reality, it's continuously increasing risk exposure. Because your position is gradually enlarged amidst uncertainty, rather than being established all at once after certainty is achieved. Livermore's operational logic is very clear: "You should only add to your position when the market proves you are right." That is to say, it's not about buying more as it falls, but about adding more as you are proven right. Your current approach is likely to be: treating uncertainty as certainty and amplifying it.
