In financial trading, a length advantage refers to a strategic position where a market participant holds a net long exposure to an asset, expecting its price to rise. This position implies a positive outlook on the asset’s future value. Traders with a length advantage profit when the asset’s price increases. It contrasts with a short position, where profits are realized from price declines. This term indicates a directional bias in trading.
