Risk and position sizing

6 ordered lessons · 670 XP total · for: can place a trade. One of 6 goal paths over the 73-lesson Academy.

Size every trade by the loss you are willing to take: stops first, then risk-per-share, then position math, then thinking in R.

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 "Risk and position sizing" path cover?

It is a 6-lesson route through Tapeboard Academy covering "Order Types", "Risk & Sizing", "The Journal". In order: Stop-loss: your seatbelt; Risk = entry minus stop; Trailing stop: lock in gains; Take-profit: bank the win; Position sizing math; Think in R, not dollars.

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.
