š Logic & Formulas
1) Weighted Average (after averaging)
New Average = (Pā Ć Uā + Pā Ć Uā) Ć· (Uā + Uā)
- Pā = Old Buy Price, Uā = Old Units
- Pā = Current Price, Uā = New Units
- For lots: U = Lots Ć 75 (Nifty), 35 (Bank Nifty), 20 (Sensex)
2) Behavior of the average
- If Pā < Pā, averaging down pulls the new average towards Pā.
- If Pā > Pā, averaging up pushes the new average towards Pā.
- The average approaches Pā as you add more units, but only equals Pā when Pā = Pā.
3) Lots needed to reach a target average (optional)
Uā = ((T ā Pā) Ć Uā) Ć· (Pā ā T), then Lots = ceil(Uā Ć· lot size)
