# Long
When you open a **Long** position on **EasyX**, it means you are simulating the purchase of a specific cryptocurrency with the expectation that its value will rise. **In other words, you are betting on the price of the chosen asset to increase**.
To close the **Long** position, you simulate the sale of the same cryptocurrency. This means you are effectively exiting the trade and locking in any potential **profits** or **losses** based on the difference between the buying and selling prices.
**Opening a ****Long**** position on ****EasyX**** is like simulating the purchase of a cryptocurrency in the hope that its value will increase, and closing the position involves simulating the sale of the same asset to exit the trade.**
{% hint style="success" %} **Long** positions are profitable when the **Mark Price** of the asset is greater than the **Entry Price**.
{% endhint %}
