Short-side awareness

5 ordered lessons · 900 XP total · for: comfortable with long trades. One of 6 goal paths over the 73-lesson Academy.

Understand the other side of the trade: how shorting works, how you cover, how you bracket a short, and how to flatten fast when it turns.

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 "Short-side awareness" path cover?

It is a 5-lesson route through Tapeboard Academy covering "Long & Short", "Speed & Replay". In order: Going LONG; Going SHORT; COVER to close a short; Bracket a short with stop-limit; Flatten with one key.

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.
