Position Trading
Position trading focuses on long-term market trends, with trades lasting several months to years. The goal is to capture major price movements rather than short-term fluctuations.
Key Points:
- Similar to long-term investing but involves active monitoring and adjustments.
- Relies on fundamental analysis, economic indicators, and macro trends.
- Best suited for stocks, ETFs, commodities, and long-term forex trends.
- Requires patience and large capital since price movements take longer to play out.
Time Frames Used:
- Entry & Execution: Weekly (W1), Monthly (MN)
- Confirmation & Trend Analysis: Quarterly & Yearly market cycles
Example: A trader buys Amazon stock at $1,000 and holds it for 3 years, selling at $3,000, making a 200% return.
