How this is calculated
The quiz scores 6 questions covering experience, plan discipline, financial capacity, and behavior after losses. Higher scores suggest more capacity to handle a given risk-per-trade percentage without emotion taking over the decision.
The suggested ranges are a general educational starting point, not a personalized recommendation, and they are intentionally capped at 2% per trade regardless of score, because risk of ruin rises sharply above that level even with a decent win rate.
A lower score is not a permanent judgment. Revisit this quiz as your experience, plan discipline, and account situation change.
Pair this with the Risk of Ruin Calculator to see how your win rate and a chosen risk-per-trade percentage interact over a long series of trades before committing to a number.
