How this is calculated
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. Lower-scoring answers reflect an account that comfortably fits its strategy's capital demands, higher-scoring answers reflect genuine structural strain.
This is a self-check on fit between your account size and your current strategy, not a judgment of the strategy itself. A strategy that requires more buying power, wider diversification, or larger round lots than your account comfortably supports can force compromises that change your actual risk and edge without you noticing.
Being undercapitalized for a strategy is different from being under-skilled at it. The usual fix is trading a smaller-capital-friendly version of the strategy, or building capital before scaling up, not necessarily abandoning the approach.
This looks at the pattern across your whole approach. For a single specific trade, use the minimum account size calculator linked below instead.
