Open Position

Net long or short exposure that remains active and has not yet been offset or settled.

An open position is any trade that has not yet been closed or settled, leaving the trader exposed to potential profit or loss.

In oil trading, open positions include futures, swaps, and options. Risk management strategies such as hedging and stop-loss orders are applied to manage exposure.

Market participants must monitor open positions in real time to ensure margin requirements are met and to react to price volatility.

Open positions form the core of trading risk and opportunity.
