If you are interested in trading stocks but find that you cannot keep up with the day-to-day swings and do not wish to engage in long-term investments, then positional trading may be the best option for you. First, let’s grasp what positional trading techniques are and how they might help you achieve your financial objectives. Unlock the potential of position trading with effective strategies. Explore time-tested techniques for making informed decisions on long-term investments. Elevate your trading game with our comprehensive guide.

What is a positional trading strategy?

This is a frequent trading strategy that enables investors to keep and keep hold of their position in the stock market for a longer period of time than the intraday timing allows for. This time frame can be as short as one day or as long as one month. Because of this, there is a greater possibility of making a profit, but there is also a bigger potential for loss.

The difference between day trading and position trading is that position trading is more involved. The position trader’s goal is to reverse the long-term trend and turn a profit without having to wait for the price to fluctuate significantly in the near term. Position trading is quite similar to investing; however, the most important distinction lies in the fact that an investor who buys and holds can only go long on their positions.

For instance, the well-known position trader Philip A. Fisher was not only a wonderful investor, but he was also followed by many followers, one of whom was Warren Buffett. Fisher has made significant investments by concentrating on good companies that produce positive statistics. Buffett was one of Fisher’s biggest supporters. Fischer began a long-term investment in Motorola stock in 1955, and he continued to hold this stake until the day he passed away at the age of 96.

Positional trading has become increasingly popular over the years since, in contrast to intraday trading, it does not necessitate closing out a transaction before the end of a trading session. This eliminates one of the most major risks associated with trading on a daily basis. Depending on the goals that you have set for yourself, positional trading gives you the ability to hold onto positions for a few days, weeks, or even months. When it comes to positional trading, there is no set time frame; rather, the duration of the trade is determined by the specifics of the transaction at hand.

    Ever wondered how much you really know? It's time to put your brain to the test!

    Low liquidity and the possibility of a trend reversal are two of the most prominent dangers associated with position trading. Significant losses are incurred by position traders if there is an unexpected reversal in the price trend of an asset. This can occur at any time. Additionally, investors who engage in position trading are required to put their money on hold for a longer length of time. As a result, before venturing into the world of position trading, it is recommended that you conduct a risk profile evaluation. You will have greater success as a position trader if, prior to entering into a trade or making an investment, you conduct research that is both fundamental and technical in nature in order to forecast potential market trends and risks.

    Support and resistance trading strategy

    The levels of support and resistance can assist you in determining whether the price of an asset is more likely to decrease and enter a downward trend or grow and enter an upward trend. On the basis of this evaluation, you have the ability to make the decision on whether or not to start a long position and profit from weekly, monthly, or annual increases in price, or whether or not to open a short position and profit from extended drops in price.

    A support level refers to the price at which an asset will typically not fall below, as this is the price at which buyers tend to purchase the item. The point at which the price of an asset stops increasing is known as the resistance level. This is because purchasers have a tendency to stop purchasing the asset once it reaches this level. If the price of an asset breaks through a level of resistance, it may signal that the price will continue to go higher. On the other hand, if the price of an asset breaks below a level of support, it may indicate that the price will continue to move lower.

    If you are interested in beginning position trading, you will find that understanding support and resistance levels, which are vital tools for analyzing long-term trends, will be of great use to you. When trying to determine support and resistance levels, the three key criteria that should be considered are as follows.

    When trying to determine levels of support and resistance, the historical price is by far the most dependable source. In the normal course of events, periods of big market gains and losses will be considered as potential indicators of future movements. Position traders, on the other hand, can use historical levels of support and resistance as a guide to predict where prices will go in the future. For instance, if a support level is broken, it may convert into a resistance level for subsequent trades. This could affect the direction of the market.
    In conclusion, some technical indicators are able to provide support and resistance levels that are dynamic and fluctuate according to the price of a particular asset.

    Breakout trading strategy

    When you engage in breakout trading, it indicates that you will make an effort to open a position at the beginning stages of a trend. Trading large-scale price swings typically begins with the development of a breakout strategy as the foundation.

    In a manner analogous to that of trading support and resistance, a breakout trader will typically establish a long position after the price of the stock breaks above the resistance level, or they will enter a short position after the price of the stock falls below the support level. As a consequence of this, if you want to be a great breakout trader, you need to be confident in your ability to recognize levels of support and resistance.

    Range trading strategy

    Trading in a range is a method that is most effective when used in a market that is volatile and moving in all directions. currency traders, in particular, stand to benefit from range trading due to the fact that currency markets do not always exhibit a distinct and obvious trend.

    When you have identified an asset that is either overbought or oversold, a range trading method might be beneficial. The objective would be to purchase the assets that have been oversold while simultaneously selling those that have been overbought. In this scenario, a ‘oversold asset’ may be getting closer to the support level, while a ‘overbought asset’ may be getting closer to the resistance level.

    Pullback and retracement trading strategy

    A pullback is a momentary decline in the general direction of an asset’s rising trend, or a brief reversal of that trend. Pullback trading is a strategy that allows investors to capitalize on temporary reversals or lulls in the upward movement of the price of an asset. Once the asset breaks out of the pullback and resumes its upward trend, the goal is to buy low and sell high in order to maximize profit.

    It is important to differentiate pullbacks from reversals, which are frequently referred to as retracements in the financial market. In general, reversals are long-term or permanent departures from the trend that is now dominant.

    Utilizing a Fibonacci retracement is one method that can be utilized to identify whether a dip in the market is a pullback or a reversal.

    Fibonacci retracement

    If you are utilizing a position trading technique, a Fibonacci retracement is a type of technical indicator that can assist you in making decisions regarding when to enter or cancel a trade. Position traders must first draw six lines over the price chart of an asset before they can calculate Fibonacci retracements. After that, there will be one line with a value of 0%, followed by one line with a value of 100%. Position traders will now draw three further lines after this at 61.8%, 38.2%, and 23.6% respectively.

    In principle, these percentages are consistent with the golden ratio, which is a mathematical formula that is occasionally utilized to locate support and resistance levels. Position traders have a choice to make at these times regarding whether or not to open or close a position.

    Reversal Trading Strategy

    When the price of a security has been moving in a particular direction and it gets close to levels that act as support or resistance, the momentum of the price move tends to run out of steam. Because of this, there is now a window of opportunity to get into the security market because it is likely to reverse. When a security has consolidated at its support level, it is possible to enter a long position in the security. The recommended location for the stop loss on this trade is a few points below the support zone. One may consider entering a short position in the security once the price of the security has consolidated near the level of resistance it presents. This trade’s stop loss should be set a few levels above the level at which the asset is now resistant. The support and resistance levels, as well as several technical indicators, may be used to determine the profit target for these trades. Additionally, you have the option of utilizing a trailing stop loss, which will assist you in capturing the maximum movement possible during the reversal.

    Moving Average Crossover Strategy

    The moving average crossover is a positional trading method that involves determining the term in an asset by comparing its performance to that of its 50-period and 200-period moving averages, respectively. When the 50-day moving average (MA) rises above the 200-day MA, this is interpreted as a sign of a positive trend in the market. At this point, one might consider taking a long position in the securities being traded. This trade’s stop loss order should be placed a few points below the position at which the trade was entered.

    When the 50 MA closes lower than the 200 MA or when the price falls lower than both moving averages, one can consider the transaction a profitable one and book profits. If the 50-day moving average (MA) drops below the 200-day MA, this is interpreted as a sign of a negative trend in the market; at this point, one may consider taking a short position in the security. This trade’s stop loss order should be placed a few points above the point at which the transaction was entered.

    Profits can be taken from a trade when either the 50-day moving average (MA) closes higher than the 200-day MA or when the price falls lower than both of the MAs.

    Event-Based Trading Strategy

    Event-based trading is a form of positional trading technique that involves taking advantage of inefficiencies that may develop as a result of economic or business events. The inefficiencies can be caused by either external factors or internal factors inside a company. Corporate events can include mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, bankruptcies, takeovers, and spinoffs, among other possible scenarios.

    If the price of a security is expected to go up as a result of an event that will have a favorable impact on the security, then one should look into taking a long position in the security. An occurrence that will have a negative impact on a security is likely to have a negative effect on the price of that security, which means that one may attempt to enter a short position in the security.

    Because event-based trading is predominately predicated on the happenings on the market, one might be required to maintain a stringent risk-to-reward ratio in these kinds of circumstances because technical research might not be effective.

    Price Action Trading

    Trading the price action, also known as the numerous moves, changes, and shifts in price across a variety of time periods, is the essence of what is known as price action trading. Traders that focus on price action analyze how individual price movements contribute to larger price trends or patterns, and then they trade based on the price action.

    First, it is essential to settle on the time period that you will trade on, and then you must choose the price action trading method that you will implement. Price action traders search for the price action that is most prominent on their time frame, identify the trend or pattern that is most dominant, and then enter trades in the direction that is indicated by the price action signal.

    Price action trading has a number of advantages:

    • Price action trading is a form of trading that focuses on tracking price changes on a chart rather than using complicated indicators or other tools.
    • Price action traders analyze patterns, trends, and candlestick formations to gain an understanding of market psychology and mood, which can provide prospective insights into the direction that prices will go in the future.
    • Because the principles of price action can be applied to a diverse range of markets and time frames, it is a versatile tool for traders interested in a variety of asset classes, including stocks, currencies, commodities, and others.

    Cons of trading based on price action:

    • Price action pattern analysis can be somewhat subjective, due to the fact that various traders may have different interpretations of the same chart.
    • When it comes to effectively recognizing price action patterns and trends, experience and a profound understanding of market dynamics are usually required.
    • Price action patterns are not infallible as indicators; they can occasionally give off misleading signals, which might result in unsound choices for trading.

    Advantages of Positional Trading

    The positional trading strategy offers traders a range of valuable benefits. By concentrating on the medium to long-term trends within the market, this approach has the potential to yield substantial returns over an extended period. A distinctive advantage lies in the ability to sidestep the impact of short-term market fluctuations, given that positional trading centers around the more enduring trends. This focus on longer timeframes also implies that traders are relieved from the need to consistently monitor stocks, allowing for a more relaxed and strategic approach to trading. In essence, positional trading provides a pathway to significant gains, shields against the turbulence of short-term shifts, and permits a more hands-off yet effective trading methodology.

    Disadvantages of Positional Trading

    While the positional trading strategy offers several advantages, it also presents potential downsides that traders should be mindful of. One notable aspect is the substantial capital requirement necessitated by this approach, as positions are held over an extended duration. This ties up a significant portion of a trader’s funds for a prolonged period, impacting liquidity and flexibility. Furthermore, positional trading exposes traders to the risk of overnight events or unforeseen news developments. These unexpected occurrences can trigger market fluctuations and potentially result in losses, emphasizing the importance of risk management and staying informed about the market environment.

    Another drawback is that the commitment to long-term trades might lead to missed trading opportunities. As capital is tied up in ongoing positions, traders might be unable to seize shorter-term opportunities that arise in the market, potentially impacting their overall trading portfolio. In essence, while positional trading offers its share of advantages, it is essential for traders to carefully weigh these potential downsides and implement strategies to mitigate the associated risks.

    Conclusion

    As we come to the end of this piece on the best positional trading strategies, it is essential to emphasize that the successful execution of these patterns does not necessarily ensure future profits. Therefore, when trading, one should always utilize these methods in conjunction with many other technical tools in order to achieve higher levels of accuracy. Because positional trading would require dealing with extremely large amounts, it is essential to have a stringent risk management strategy in place.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the best strategy for positional trading?

      In positional trading, the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is often considered to be the most effective approach for detecting the direction of a trend. Before moving further, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the current trends. When the positional trading technique is used, there is a significantly increased likelihood of making a profit.

      What is a positional trading example?

      Position trading is a type of trading strategy in which a trader maintains open deals for an extended period of time—weeks, months, or even years—while anticipating a meaningful price movement. Maintaining a watchful eye on the daily variations that take place in the stock market does not require you to be a trader who does it full-time.

      Is positional trading or intraday trading better?

      Intraday trading is preferable to positional trading for those who have limited resources since intraday trading requires less cash whereas positional trading requires more capital. Because trading stocks intraday is a high-risk enterprise, another factor that you need to think about is how much risk you are willing to face.
