Position Trading
Position trading is a long-term trading strategy where investors or traders hold positions for extended periods, ranging from several weeks to months or even years, to capitalize on major market trends. Unlike day trading or swing trading, position trading focuses on the broader market outlook and fundamental analysis, seeking to benefit from significant price movements. Position traders are less concerned with short-term fluctuations and more focused on long-term trends.
Example
A position trader buys shares in a renewable energy company, expecting industry growth over the next few years, and holds the stock despite short-term market volatility.
