The Zero Cost Averaging strategy is a way in which investors can make their investment risk free. Say you bought 100 shares at $10 each, and now the stock is trading at $30 per share, if you sell enough shares to get your initial capital back and keep the remaining ones in the market, you would have made your investment risk free.

Pros: you are getting the remaining shares for free, no risk, no sleepless nights

Cons: you might miss out on opportunities to make even more profits if the stock price keeps going up

The formula for Zero Cost Averaging is defined as:
\(Shares_{sell}\) \(=\) \(\dfrac{Price_{purchase} \times Shares_{total}}{Price_{current}}\)
\(Shares_{sell}\): The number of shares you need to sell
\(Shares_{total}\): The number of shares you have in total
\(Price_{purchase}\): The price at which you purchased your shares
\(Price_{current}\): The current share price
