Place your first BUY

Lesson 5 of 7 in First Contact. Rookie grade, 40 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» A market BUY says: get me in right now, at whatever the going price is.

» Pick a ticker, set a small size, hit BUY. You now own shares (fake ones).

» If the price goes up after, you're in profit. Down, you're in the red.

» Don't overthink it. Click buy. You're a trader now.

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.
