bought, what you have sold and what you hold in stock, per product and per delivery period. The difference is your open position: long when you have more than you have sold, short when you have sold more than you have.

A morning check also catches entry errors early: an unexpected figure is often a contract or delivery that was booked incorrectly, and that is easier to correct the same day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-morning-routine-in-five-steps\">A morning routine in five steps<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Start with the nearest periods.<\/strong> A short position for this month needs cover now; a short position in four months leaves room to choose your moment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look at changes since yesterday.<\/strong> Trace every large change back to the contract or order behind it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare stock with what customers will call off.<\/strong> Can you ship what is planned for the coming weeks, and from which location?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check prices.<\/strong> Compare your average purchase and sales prices per product with the current market.
