Can you tell me more about averaging?
First of all is that it will make your trading riskier.

Traders use it when the are losing. But It encourages them to start an opened position with very little amount of money.

Example is a trader that has $500 for trading. The trader can be using just $100 to trade. If he wins, he will take profit and look for a better  coin again to trade with. But if he is losing, the trader can add $100 more to it, making it $200. Also if the trader is losing as the market is against him, he can add the remaining $300 to it. Do not use leverage. Leverage will return it to gambling.

If you are able to make analyses that can make you predict the price you should average, it can help. Averaging will let the market price get closer to the entry price.

It is very risky but it is worth it for traders that knows how to use it.

Averaging and adding funds up when the price falls is when you believe in the coin we are talking about. Or you have clear metrics / facts / etc. to back your thought up - and you do it.
And you do it strictly to the analysis made, not with the gut leading you to it.
