Risk Management Score

Ten yes/sometimes/no questions, a score out of 100, and a path to fix the weakest link.

infotools.disclaimer

  1. 1. I define my maximum loss in dollars before entering a trade.

  2. 2. I always use a stop-loss order or a hard mental stop.

  3. 3. I risk a fixed percentage of my account on every trade.

  4. 4. I avoid risking more than 2% of my account on a single trade.

  5. 5. I calculate position size from my stop distance, not from intuition.

  6. 6. I plan a take-profit level or rule before entry.

  7. 7. I review losing trades to learn from them.

  8. 8. I never revenge-trade after a loss.

  9. 9. I keep a trading journal.

  10. 10. I understand that trading involves risk of capital loss.

Developing — convert 'sometimes' answers to 'yes' with a checklist.

tools.whatItDoes

Answer ten questions about your trading habits. The tool returns a score out of 100, a profile label (Beginner, Developing, Disciplined, Strong), and educational suggestions on what to work on.

tools.howToUse

  1. Answer each question yes, sometimes, or no honestly.
  2. Read the resulting score and profile.
  3. Use the linked tools to work on the weakest answers.

tools.example

Six yes answers, two sometimes, two no → score 70/100, profile 'Disciplined'. Suggestion: use the Position Size Calculator for every trade for a month to convert 'sometimes' answers to 'yes'.

tools.commonMistakes

  • Answering for who you want to be, not who you are.
  • Ignoring questions you haven't thought about — those are usually the gaps.
  • Treating a high score as the finish line. The score is a snapshot, not a guarantee.

No — it measures habits. Skill comes from repetition and review. Habits make repetition possible.
