Imagine that you are a Hedge-Fund manager, you have a lot of money to invest. You are looking to invest in AAPL for example. Let's assume for the debate, that you as a fund manager can buy any amount of stock that is traded that day. This assumption is made because we want the Anchored VWAP to represent our position line.

Buying the dip can be a very risky strategy, causing an increased risk to the trader if he averaged down. You can never know how DEEP the dip can keep dipping, and you might enter into a TRAP.

The chart is self-explanatory. Previous "Bear Market" for this stock was -61% ---> this is considered normal, for such a growth stock (Go check historical corrections of AAPL, and see that regardless of large percent corrections, the stock did new highs).
