On coming into the market, I know that you have been hearing regularly of going long in the forex market. Going long is another way of saying you are holding a long position in a trade. It is a forex trading language which indicates the process of buying a currency pair. Basically when you buy long, the fundamental formula (or rather the commonest practice) is to buy low and sell high. So when you buy a currency pair and are long now, you are expecting the prices to escalate; that is to rise higher. You could as well get longer by buying buying at various price levels. When you do this, you could be as well said to add to longs. Did the post improve you?
