A Long Position is an investment strategy where an investor buys an asset expecting its price to rise in the future.
Taking a long position means buying and holding an asset (like stocks, commodities, or currencies) with the expectation that its value will increase. Investors profit when the price rises and incur losses if it falls.
Long positions are common in markets like stocks and derivatives traded on exchanges such as the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
"An investor buys a stock at ₹100 expecting it to rise to ₹150. If it does, they make a ₹50 profit per share."
