Financial related short-term, medium-term and long-term (such as stocks, futures, etc. How long does it usually mean (approximate time)
It depends on which market it is. Every market is different. Generally speaking, short-term stocks are within one week, medium-term stocks are more than three months, and early stocks are more than one year.
The futures market will be shorter because it is a contract. Personally, the gold market is longer than the stock market.
