I may sound confused, but honestly, so far babypips has not clearly explained the concept of going long or short in the previous lessons. So far I have learnt on my own that I can sell a currency that I do not own i.e. going short and I think that's how I can make a profit by selling first and then buying later when the market goes down in the previous question that we discussed. Right?
Do I have to buy after I go short i.e does my following order have to be "long" if I go "short" first?
Thanks

I would say the best thing to do is open a demo account,
there are many about which are free & unlimited.
Then try each method out, because different platforms operate
differently.
But the basic idea is that when you have selected a sell order, you
can either cancel it manually, by just pressing stop, or you can put
a buy order in, for the same amount of lots or units, this will then
cancel the sell order.
Or you would set a Take Profit (T/P) & a Stop Loss (S/L) when
you set up the trade then which ever way the trade goes the order
will execute when you reach the required limit.
But as I initially stated it is best for you to practise all these different
methods on a demo platform, make mistakes, watch what happens
when it goes wrong, you cannot lose anything, in demo it's only a game.
Get to know your platform of choice inside out & upside down.
