Position Trading

Hold for weeks or months — firms with no time limits and maximum flexibility.

What is Trading de posición?

Position trading is the longest-term active trading style, where traders hold positions for weeks to months based on fundamental analysis, macroeconomic trends, and long-term technical patterns. Position traders make few trades but aim for large moves of 500-2000+ pips.

Why firm choice matters for Trading de posición

Position traders need firms with generous time limits or no time restrictions at all. Trailing drawdown and consistency rules can make position trading challenging.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really hold positions for weeks at a prop firm?

Yes, some firms like FTMO and FundedNext allow unlimited hold times including overnight and weekend holding. Always verify the specific firm's policy.

How do swap fees affect position trading?

Varían por par y firma. Pueden costar $5-20 diarios por lote en pares principales.

What's the minimum account size for position trading?

We recommend $100K-$200K funded accounts. Position trades use wider stops (200-500 pips), requiring more margin and drawdown buffer.

Is position trading compatible with consistency rules?

Generally no. Consistency rules require profits spread across multiple days, which conflicts with position trading's pattern of few large wins over extended periods.

How many trades per month does a position trader make?

Typically 2-8 trades per month. The focus is on high-conviction setups with large risk-reward ratios (1:3 to 1:10).
