Dipping Your Toe in When Trading

Sometimes I'll come across very strong stocks that you want to get into. The only problem is while they are fundamentally strong they might have no trend.
So what can you do? I like the idea of dipping my toe into a position if I'm unsure. Say you find a stock trading at $30. The stock has been pretty flat, but you think it might start to trend higher. You have $5,000 that you want to put into it, but are a little scared because the technicals are not that strong.
Instead of investing the full $5,000 it can be a good idea to just put say, $1,000 into the trade at first. If the stock starts to go up and form an uptrend then you can buy more shares and average up until you have put your full investment into the position.
