Make your first stock trade

10 ordered lessons · 490 XP total · for: never traded before. One of 6 goal paths over the 73-lesson Academy.

Go from zero to placing and closing a trade in the simulator, with a reason to buy and a record of what you did.

Each step is a full Academy lesson: free to read, with a live mission in the Tapeboard terminal. Follow them in order, or jump to whichever one answers your next question.

What does the "Make your first stock trade" path cover?

It is a 10-lesson route through Tapeboard Academy covering "First Contact", "Order Types". In order: What even is a stock?; Reading the chart at a glance; Build a reason to come back; Open the simulator (zero risk); Place your first BUY; SELL to close the loop; CAPSTONE: watch it land in your journal; Market order: speed over price; Limit order: price over speed; Stop-loss: your seatbelt.

Do the lessons have to be done in order?

The order is the recommendation, not a gate: every lesson stands alone and awards XP on the Academy ladder. The path lists them in the sequence a learner picking this goal would actually run them.

How do I run the missions, not just read?

Each step links to its lesson page, and every lesson pairs with a hands-on mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. Reading is free; running missions requires a free Tapeboard account.
