Long (buy) position(Long position)
Buying with the expectation that price will rise. Profit comes from selling above the purchase price.
Also written as: long pozisyon · long · alış pozisyonu
A long position means actually buying the asset in the spot market, or buying a contract that gains from a rise in the derivatives market. "Going long" and "opening a long" mean the same thing in everyday usage.
Its opposite is a short position. Managing either one rests on the same basis: entry, stop and target are defined in advance.
