Position

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Position. An investor's stake, i.e., a holding, in a particular asset (such as an individual security)

A position can be long or short, and it can be in any asset class, such as stocks, bonds, futures, or options. A position can be open (current) or closed (past), but in general use, unless a position is specifically referred to as closed, the assumption is that it references an open position.
