Bracket a short with stop-limit

Lesson 4 of 15 in Long & Short. Specialist grade, 180 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» A stop-limit triggers at your stop price but only fills within a limit — no wild fills.

» On a short, your protective stop is ABOVE your entry (price rising hurts you).

» Stop-limit gives you control over the exit price even on the way out.

» Place a stop-limit on a short position in the sim.

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.
