1. Position (position) is also called "head lining", which means money, and is a popular term in the financial and business world. If the bank's total receipts and payments on that day are greater than the expenditures, it is called a "long position", and if the payments are greater than the revenues, it is called a "missing position". The act of predicting more or less of this type of position is called a "rolled position." The act of finding ways to transfer funds everywhere is called a "turnover."

For example, when opening a position in futures trading, the position held after buying a futures contract is called a long position, referred to as a long position; the position held after selling a futures contract is called a short position, referred to as a short position.

If the time to enter the market is better, the chance of profit is greater; on the contrary, if the time to enter the market is improper, it is easy to lose money. The net position is the difference between the transaction of one currency and another currency obtained after the opening.

In addition, in the financial industry, there are also statements such as leveling positions and position borrowing.

People without stocks cannot sell. In stock index futures trading, it is not the same. You can also sell futures contracts without a corresponding basket of stocks. The difference between the two is essentially the difference between spot and futures.
