How this is calculated
This is a self-check on one specific trade, not a general personality test. Answer based on what is actually true right now, not how you usually trade.
A low score does not mean the trade is wrong, it means the decision to keep holding is not currently backed by a written plan.
Moving your stop up and writing down a specific new target are the two most common fixes for a mixed or low score.
Revisit this quiz any time the position moves meaningfully, since the honest answers can change from day to day.
