Position trading is a long-term strategy where trades are held for weeks, months, or even years. Position traders rely on fundamental analysis, macroeconomic trends, and long-term technical setups rather than short-term price movements. This style requires patience, wider stop losses, and acceptance of swap costs on overnight positions.
A position trader believes the US dollar will weaken over the next 6 months due to expected interest rate cuts. They buy EUR/USD at 1.0800 and hold the position for 4 months, closing at 1.1200 for a 400-pip profit.
