What we refer to as Scale-In Trading has proven to be one of our most successful strategies taught by the Connors Research team, and has gone through a long development history that traces its roots back to the early professional trading careers of our company founders.
Instead of impulsively allocating all of their money in a promising security, professional money managers around the world would learned through experience to buy an initial position, and then wait for the stock or ETF to further drop in price so they could purchase additional positions as it became more oversold. If the security rallied immediately they had their gain and would move on. But if they were able to add additional positions at lower prices, they could wait for a pullback to revert and as a result secure significantly higher gains.

The proof lies in the test results, which have shown that this strategy can yield substantial gains – especially when trading ETFs. Scaling-into pullbacks with a limit order is one of the essential concepts behind successful swing trading.
