What is the Trader Assessment Score and what does it measure?
The Trader Assessment Score is a free, six-question self-assessment that rates trading discipline across six methodology dimensions: stop-loss consistency, position sizing, macro awareness, systematic position sizing, trade review, and emotional control. Each answer describes how consistently a trader follows disciplined practice in that dimension on a five-point scale, and the six per-dimension scores combine into one 0-100 score plus a radar chart showing relative strengths and weaknesses across the six areas.
How is the 0-100 score calculated?
Each of the six questions offers five answer options describing increasing discipline, worth 0 to 4 points apiece. The six question scores are summed, for a possible range of 0 to 24, then scaled to a score out of 100. The resulting score sorts into one of four bands: Foundation Builder for the lowest scores, Developing Trader, Systematic Trader, and Elite Methodology for the highest — the bands describe self-reported habits, not trading results.
What do the six discipline dimensions cover?
The assessment scores six specific trading-methodology habits, one per question: Stop-Loss Discipline (how consistently a stop-loss is set), Position Sizing (the share of a portfolio risked per trade), Macro Awareness (whether the broader regime — funding rates, BTC trend, sector rotation — is checked before entry), Systematic Sizing (whether position size follows a fixed rule rather than a feel-based guess), Trade Review (how often closed trades are reviewed for patterns and mistakes), and Emotional Control (how often FOMO, panic, or revenge trading override a trading plan). The radar chart plots all six side by side so the weakest dimension is visible, not hidden inside a single aggregate number.
Is the Trader Assessment Score a certification or a predictor of trading performance?
No. It is a free self-reported discipline score based on how a trader describes their own habits, not a verified audit of trading history and not a certification of skill. A high score does not predict future trading returns — it measures process discipline as the trader perceives it, and the tool is provided for informational and educational purposes only, not financial advice or a trading recommendation.
