I respect your work a lot, but I'd like to say that adding to a losing trade 
is what makes scaletrading work.  When done with proper choice of commodities 
(which will never go to zero), and done carefully within the framework of an 
adequate (yes, there's a rub!) capital base, and done with patience, it can 
eventually be quite profitable.  Take recent examples of cotton, orange 
juice, and sugar.  If I could pick a bottom, I could position trade.  Since I 
can't, I scaletrade.  All that said, there are still many pitfalls.
