Lesson 3: Buy vs. Sell

“Trading revolves around two key actions: buying and selling. When you expect the price of an asset to rise, you buy—it’s called going long. If you predict the price will fall, you sell—it’s called going short. For example, if you buy a stock at $50 and sell it at $60, you profit $10. In forex, you buy one currency and sell another simultaneously. Mastering when to buy or sell is crucial to trading success.”
