Risk = entry minus stop

Lesson 1 of 14 in Risk & Sizing. Operator grade, 120 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» Your risk on a trade isn't 'the whole position' — it's entry price minus your stop.

» Buy at $10, stop at $9.50? You're risking $0.50 a share. That's it.

» Define this BEFORE you click buy. No stop = unknown risk = gambling.

» Set an entry with a stop-loss in the sim and read the distance between them.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the paper trading simulator (/simulator). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
