OBJECTIVE
In this training video, I walk you through how to execute a buy long position or a sell short position on your paper trading account, both on desktop and mobile. I emphasize the importance of checking your position sizing before executing trades, which I demonstrate by clicking the appropriate buttons. You’ll see how to manage your trades, including how to close them using the X button. I encourage you to practice these steps to become comfortable with the trading platform. Please make sure to adjust your position sizing correctly before placing any trades.
