Trading Stances
Whenever you are defining a strategy, portfolio, risk management plan or tweaking your hopper configuration, it is helpful to establish some guidelines and clearly define your approach. Within the Gainscrypt community we therefore make use of stances, which are essentially a way to assess the degree of risk-taking. Of course, it is somewhat subjective what defines aggressive or devensive trading, but this page gives a point of reference.
