Tapeboard Academy
Learn by doing. Climb the desk ranks.
Hands-on lessons inside the live terminal: run a real scan, place a real sim trade, earn XP and climb the desk ranks.
What you get
Lessons send you into the real product to do the thing, not watch a video about it.
Complete missions to earn XP. Progress is verified by what you actually do in the terminal.
Climb from rookie to senior trader as your XP and completed missions stack up.
Each grade reinforces scanning, sim reps, and journaling: the loop that compounds.
