What is an average entry calculator?
After scaling in, your average = Σ(price × quantity) ÷ Σ quantity. It anchors where unrealized PnL starts.
This tool supports up to three lots of the same direction; net off long and short before using for mixed positions.
How to use
- Fill in the first price and quantity.
- Optionally add lots 2 and 3 (they can be left empty).
- Click Calculate to see the average entry and total quantity.
Formula
- Total Quantity = Q1 + Q2 + Q3
- Total Cost = P1×Q1 + P2×Q2 + P3×Q3
- Average Entry = Total Cost ÷ Total Quantity
Example
Buy 1 @ 20,000 + 1 @ 19,000 → average 19,500, total qty 2.
Buy 0.5 @ 20,000 + 0.5 @ 18,000 → average 19,000, total qty 1.
FAQ
Is a lower average always good?
Averaging down speeds recovery but increases total risk. Combine with position sizing and a stop.
Should fees be included?
For strict accounting, add fees into cost. This is a pure-price estimate; adjust slightly if desired.
