Stand to lose & short term

Hi guys,

What does that mean "funds you can stand to lose"?

Is it right expression?

I don't get it the part "stand to lose"?

Your reference will be as follows.

If you have any idea about this, would you let me know some?

Thanks a lot~!

If you want to trade speculatively, which is to say, short term,

then you should set up a separate brokerage account for that

using funds you can stand to lose.

Q: Can the words "short term" be used as an adverb like this?

I was thinking about trading short term with that money.

Hi

As I'm sure people are aware, banks make (and lose) money on the money market where they lend to each other.

The shortest period that can be traded on the deposit market is 'overnight'. That is to say, funds are lent this afternoon, to be repaid tomorrow morning.

There are set periods in the market with most trades being dealt for :

1 day, 2 days, 1 week, on
