Position

Ce que ça veut dire

An open trade you currently hold. A long position means you own the asset; a short position means you owe it. Closing the position ends the trade.

Exemple

If you buy 200 shares of MSFT and have not sold them, you hold an open long position of 200 shares. Selling all 200 closes the position to zero.
