How this is calculated
The quiz scores 6 questions covering how much leverage you use, your experience with leveraged products, whether you know your liquidation price, your margin call history, how confidence affects your sizing, and whether a sharp adverse move would threaten money you need elsewhere.
This is a self-check, not a margin calculator. Pair it with the Leverage Risk Calculator to see the exact dollar impact leverage has on a specific losing trade.
A lower score does not mean you must stop using leverage entirely. It is a signal to reduce it, know your liquidation price before every trade, and treat leveraged capital as capital you can genuinely afford to lose.
Revisit this quiz as your account, experience, and habits change. A honest answer today is more useful than a flattering one.
