1. Position (position) is also called head lining, which means money. It is a popular term in the financial and business circles. If the bank's income from all receipts and payments on the day is greater than the payment, it is called a long position; if the payment is greater than the income, it is called a short position. The behavior of predicting more or less of this type of position is called shorting. The act of finding ways to bring in funds is called position reversal. If the temporarily unused funds are greater than the required amount, it is called a loose position; if the demand for funds is greater than the idle amount, it is called a tight position.
2. Position is a word commonly used in the financial industry, and is often used in finance, securities, stocks, and futures transactions.
For example, when opening a position in futures trading, the position held after buying a futures contract is called a long position, or long for short; the position held after selling a futures contract is called a short position, or short for short. The difference between open long contracts and open short contracts in a commodity is called the net position. This is only done in futures trading, but not in spot trading.
In foreign currency trading, "opening a position" means opening. Opening is also called opening, which is the act of buying one currency and selling another currency at the same time. After the opening, one currency is long (long) and the other currency is short (short). Choosing the appropriate exchange rate level and timing to establish a position are the prerequisites for profitability. If you enter the market at a good time, you have a greater chance of profit; on the contrary, if you enter the market at a bad time, you are prone to losses. Net position refers to the trading difference between one currency acquired after opening and another currency.
In addition, in the financial industry, there are also terms such as closing positions and position lending.
There are many types of position days: the first position day (the first day of the futures delivery process), etc. Most of them refer to the day when the funds are used.
3. Bulls believe that the price of stock index futures contracts will rise, so they buy; conversely, shorts believe that the price of stock index futures contracts is high and will fall in the future, so they sell.
Please note that in the stock market, buyers are also called longs and sellers are called shorts. However, in stock trading, the seller must have the stock to sell, and those who do not have the stock cannot sell. This is different in stock index futures trading. You can sell futures contracts without a corresponding basket of stocks. The difference between the two is essentially the difference between spot and futures.
