Going LONG

Lesson 1 of 15 in Long & Short. Specialist grade, 180 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» Long = you buy expecting the price to rise. Classic bet on a stock going up.

» Buy low, sell high. Your max loss is what you paid; your upside is open.

» This is the default trade everyone starts with.

» Open a long position in the sim with a buy.

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.
