The formula

Average price = total cost ÷ total quantity, where total cost = Σ (price × quantity). Example: 10 shares at 100 and 10 more at 80 cost 1,800 for 20 shares: an average of 90. At 95 you are +100 (+5.56 %).

स्टॉक एवरेज कैलकुलेटर (हिंदी)

एवरेज प्राइस = कुल लागत ÷ कुल मात्रा। ऊपर हर ख़रीद की कीमत और मात्रा डालें; कैलकुलेटर औसत कीमत, फ़ीस के साथ ब्रेक-ईवन और आज की कीमत पर मुनाफ़ा-नुकसान दिखाता है।

Averaging down: the honest part

Buying more as price falls lowers your average, but it also makes the position bigger exactly when the market is proving you wrong. Plan the total size and the stop before the first buy, and never add to a trade whose reason is gone. In leveraged trading (forex, gold, crypto futures) averaging down is how many accounts are lost; check your risk with the margin level calculator and the crypto position size calculator.

Questions

How do I calculate my average buy price?

Multiply each buy's price by its quantity, add them up, and divide by the total quantity.

Does the average include fees?

The average price does not. The break-even adds your fee on the buys and on the sale, so it is the price where you get your money back.

Is averaging down a good strategy?

Only as part of a plan made before the first buy, with a fixed total size and a stop. Adding to a losing leveraged trade without a plan is one of the fastest ways to lose an account.
