Position Trader Definition

 A Position Trader seeks intermediate-term opportunites.   Like a swing trader, the position trader is ready with a quick exit strategy but more willing to stay with a trade for several weeks or more.   

Extra Insight:  

For backtesting, I use timed 20 day exits to approximate position trading.
