On the bright side, trading while averaging down allows tax free incremental trades, as well as allow an investor to realize and record losses in trading accounts while maintaining the same holding.

In Canada, if you buy the same security back within 30 days of selling it at a loss, you cannot claim that loss on disposition. Rather, you add that loss back to the ACB of your shares. Look up "superficial loss". I'm not sure if the same is true for our American friand new.
