选择一个方向进场投机/交易(与对冲相对而言)
Explanation:

不是字面意思。

按字面就离题万里。

衍生品交易 (Trade/Speculate),要么做空,要么做多。

而不是在对冲 (Hedge) 模式中,目的在于套期保值,而非多空交易。

当一个市场参与者有了多空判断。

首先可以做多或做空基础资产 (underlying asset),以此表明立场/态度。

做多或做空与这种基础资产对应的衍生品种 (directives),也可起到类似效果。

對於(基礎資產的)價格動向,採取一個看法 / 預測價格動向


Explanation:
To take a view on = to form an opinion on the likely direction a market will take, and take a position that will be of benefit if the opinion proves correct.

To take a view on the price movements 是財經界用語,建議翻譯為:

對於(基礎資產的)價格動向,採取一個看法

這樣會配合如果價格如所料上升的話,他們可能會長廠 long position 購入期貨合約。

Example sentence: Their trading strategy is fairly straight forward. They take a view on the direction of price movement of the underlying asset in the near future. If the price is expected to move upwards, they may take a long position in the underlying asset by buying a futures contract. Later, when the price has moved up, they exit the contract by opting for cash settlement.

供參考。

PS: 其實有人翻譯成 ’預測‘ 市場走勢,只是個人偏向較穩重譯法 ’採取一個看法‘。
