Position limit - The maximum position, either net long or net short, in a futures market or options market that may be held or controlled by one person as prescribed by an exchange or by the CFTC. Such limits can be set for individual expiration months, such as the spot month, and for all listed expiration months combined. Since hedgers are often exempt from such limits, position limits are often termed "speculative limits".
