Position Trading for Patient Investors
Most traders lose money chasing quick profits. Position trading takes a different path—holding quality positions for weeks or months while economic trends play out. It's not glamorous, but the approach actually works when you understand market cycles.

What Position Trading Actually Involves
Position trading isn't about daily excitement. You analyze economic data, identify undervalued sectors, and wait. Sometimes for months. The patience pays off when your thesis plays out correctly.
Economic Context
Understanding inflation trends, interest rate cycles, and sector rotation matters more than today's price action. You're reading central bank reports, not minute charts.
Risk Management
Position size calculation based on volatility. Stop losses placed beyond normal price noise. Portfolio allocation across uncorrelated sectors. The boring stuff that protects capital.
Time Horizons
Typical holds range from six weeks to six months. Some positions extend beyond that when macro conditions support continuation. You're measuring progress in weeks, not hours.
How We Teach Market Analysis
Our autumn 2025 program starts with fundamental economic indicators. You learn to read GDP reports, employment data, and yield curves before touching a chart. Technical analysis comes later—it's secondary to understanding what moves markets.
Each week focuses on one specific skill. Week three covers sector analysis. Week seven introduces position sizing calculations. Week ten examines real trade examples from 2024, including positions that failed and why.
- Economic data interpretation without simplification
- Real position sizing math with actual volatility calculations
- Portfolio construction for different market environments
- Case studies from both successful and failed trades
