Working with Positions
Overview
The section describes the Forex Connect Lite API Positions related commands.
In forex trading, positions refer to the trades that a trader has entered into and is currently holding. A position represents the exposure or commitment to a particular currency pair. It can be either an open position or a closed position.
An open position refers to a trade that is still active and has not been closed yet. It means that the trader has bought or sold a currency pair and is still holding that position. The profit or loss on an open position is not realized until the position is closed.
A closed position refers to a trade that has been completed or exited. It means that the trader has bought or sold a currency pair and then closed that position by executing an opposite trade. When a position is closed, the profit or loss on that trade is realized.
