historic definition...

Open trade -- This term applies to a speculative trade or transaction that has not been closed. For instance, when a stock has been bought that is to be sold again it is an open trade or the trade is open until the stock actually is sold and the trade or transaction is thus completed or closed. It is the same if a stock is sold short ; it is an open trade until the stock is bought. The term also applies to trades in grain, cotton, coffee, etc.
