legging in

three ways to buy

1. try to find the bottom and just buy
average down if you were wrong

2. use a trailing buy stop

3. leg in for an increasing number of shares at pre determined lower prices
based on F/A and T/A
depending on ones view of the risk in the stock and the market overall
you can leg in for greater or lesser shares at first
I normally use 1/3's but for the next month
or so will likely use 1/5's

conservative leg in
1/3rds ex: you want 600 shares total
buy
1st leg 1/6 100
2nd 1/3 200
3rd 1/2 300

more conservative leg in
ex: you want 1000 shares total
1/4ths buy
1st leg 1/10 100
2nd 1/5 200
3rd 3/10 300
4th 2/5 400

most conservative leg in
1/5ths ex: you want 1500 shares total
buy
1st leg 1/15 100
2nd 2/15 200
3rd 1/5 300
4th 4/15 400
5th 1/3 500
