You do realize how naive you sound? Here's simple math that may help you get back to your senses. Suppose you add to position everytime...
Sorry, I messed up the direction. I meant long trades.
Let's say you trade against trend as you've already mentioned and start shorting at 2500, and add to the position every 10 points the market gets...
Well this looks like just another martingale strategy that averages losing positions. Also known as "grid trading" in some less known forums,...

If you have an edge, you can automate/trade it mechanically and metal state won't matter. Useless garbage/flame war threads outweigh method...
