What this tool does

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.

How to use this tool

  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.

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'.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 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.
