» A stock can be down on the 1-minute and up on the daily. Both are true.

» Short timeframes = noise and scalps. Long timeframes = the real trend.

» Switch the timeframe and watch the same stock tell a different story.

» Always know which timeframe you're trading. It decides everything.

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 charts workspace (/charts). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
