Securing

What does securing mean?

A position is deemed secured if a trader can hold it without any risk. This is done, for example, by making a partial sale: The profit from the partial sale covers the remaining risk in the market at the stop loss. Securing is also used as soon as the stop loss is pulled to the entry price. Other techniques include, amongst other things, establishing a counter-position in another market or product. While the concept of securing is broadly diversified, the goal generally is that of creating a risk-free position in the market.
