Position

A position is an individual investment in an asset. You can have multiple open positions in the same asset, each opened at a different time or rate. Closed positions show in Portfolio History.

Approved short definition: An open or closed investment or trade in an asset. Example: If you buy shares of a company, your investment in that asset is shown as a position in your portfolio. Do not use: Do not assume “position” has the same meaning across all brokers or platforms. Some brokers may use “position” for a customer’s total holding in one asset; in eToro content, use “position” for each individual investment opened in that asset.
