Positions hold for weeks, months, sometimes longer. Frequency drops to almost nothing: a strategy of this kind might open fewer than ten positions a year on a given instrument. The bet is that the truly large moves in a market take a long time to play out, and catching even one of them well is worth waiting through everything else.
