What Is Position Management?
Position management is the practice of actively adjusting open positions — deciding when to hold, when to adjust size, when to hedge and when to close.
Why it matters
Markets move in waves. A position in loss today may recover tomorrow. Position management keeps the account balanced instead of reacting automatically to every swing. This is the philosophy behind the GoldVault Pro trading strategy.
Techniques
- Holding positions while monitoring the situation.
- Adjusting position size.
- Hedging exposure with opposing positions.
- Adding or reducing risk as the market develops.
Learn the risks: holding positions is not a guarantee and can deepen losses if the market keeps moving against the account. Read risk management.
Quick answers
