Buying and holding onto a stock (value investing) works well until the trend ends or a bear market begins. Then comes the position trading. This is the same as buy-and-hold, except the technique sells positions before a significant trend change occurs. Position trading can often be a good way for position traders to make a long-term position on stocks and assets. Position traders are trend followers. They identify a trend and an investment that will benefit from it, then buy and hold the investment until the trend peaks. Position trading is pretty much the opposite of day trading. A position trader is generally less concerned about the short-term drivers of the price of an asset and market corrections that can temporarily reverse the price trend. Position traders place more emphasis on the long-term performance of an asset that allows traders to hold a position for a long period of time, which is usually months or years.
This book is designed primarily for position traders who are intent on the price action trading process and identify trends in asset prices that will allow a trader to earn profits.
