Lithuanian Litai (LTL)
The litas, plural litai, was the national currency of Lithuania before it joined the euro, and it carried the ISO code LTL. Reintroduced in 1993 as the country rebuilt its economy after regaining independence from the Soviet Union, the litas was later pegged to the euro in the run-up to membership of the single currency.
Lithuania made the switch on the first of January 2015, the last of the three Baltic states to adopt the euro, and the litas was retired at a fixed conversion rate. It is therefore a historical currency now, encountered mainly in discussions of the region’s economic transition rather than in any live market.
Example: A business that operated in Lithuania before 2015 kept its books in litai right up to the changeover, then converted its balances into euros at the official fixed rate. After the changeover, the litas could no longer be spent
Lock limit
A price limit beyond which trading is not allowed for a product, typically exercised in the futures market.
London session
The time period during which the London financial markets are open for trading.
London session
The London session is the European stretch of the 24-hour foreign-exchange day, running roughly from 8am to 4pm UK time. It is one of the most important windows in FX, because London has been the world’s largest currency-trading hub and the session accounts for a huge share of daily global volume. Liquidity is often deep, spreads can be tight, and many of the day’s biggest moves can originate here, particularly in the pairs involving the euro and the pound.
The session also overlaps for a few hours with the New York open, and that overlap, when the two largest centres are both active, is typically one of the most liquid and volatile parts of the entire trading day. Traders often plan their trading around it.
Example: A day trader who focuses on EUR/USD does most of her work between the London open and the New York overlap, then steps back in the afternoon as European desks wind down and activity may thin out for the rest of the day.
Long
To be long is to own an asset, or hold a position, that typically profits when the price goes up. It is the most basic stance in markets and the one most people intuitively understand: buy something, hope it rises, sell it later for more. The term applies across every asset class, from shares and currencies to commodities and derivatives, and it is the natural opposite of being short, where a trader profits from a falling price.
Going long can be done outright by buying the asset, or with leverage through instruments like futures and CFDs that magnify both the gains and the losses resulting from price movements. The defining feature is direction: a long position generally benefits from rising prices.
Example: A trader who believes gold will rise goes long by buying it at 2,000 dollars an ounce, planning to sell higher; if gold climbs to 2,100 she profits by the difference, before trading costs, and if it falls instead she loses, since a long position generally loses value when the price moves down.
Long Candle
A long candle is a candlestick with a large body, meaning a wide gap between the open and the close for that period, and it is often read as a sign of strong directional pressure. On a chart the body’s length is the story: a long green, or white, candle shows strong upward price movement from open to close, while a long red, or black, candle suggests the reverse.
Because the size reflects the balance of pressure during that session, traders often read long candles as a potential sign of momentum and commitment, rather than the indecision that small, stubby candles convey. Context matters, though; a long candle after a big move can equally mark exhaustion.
Example: A trader watching a stock break out of a tight range sees a long green candle form on heavy volume as the price surges through resistance, and reads it as a possible sign of buying interest behind the move, giving her a reason to monitor the breakout, while recognising that it may not hold.
