Most traders jump into the markets with a “strategy” that’s really just a collection of habits, instincts, and bits of advice they’ve picked up along the way. But the truth is this:

Your trading results are driven far more by your personality and risk profile than the strategy you use.

Some traders thrive on speed and volatility. Others perform best with structured, rules-based approaches. And many people lose money not because the strategy is wrong—but because it doesn’t suit who they are.

To help you understand where you sit on that spectrum, I’ve put together a quick, six-question quiz.

It takes less than a minute and will show you:

• how your risk tolerance compares with typical trader profiles

• whether your time commitment matches your trading style

• the types of strategies that fit your temperament

• what kind of returns and drawdowns you’re actually built for

• whether you lean more towards automation or manual decision-making

No jargon or theory. Just a simple snapshot of your trading personality, based entirely on your answers.

6–10 points: You’re a cautious planner

You prioritise stability, clear rules, and controlled risk. You’d rather grow your account steadily than chase huge wins, and your temperament fits strategies with defined risk, slower decision cycles, and minimal drawdowns.

You’re an ideal match for systematic, rules-based approaches like credit spreads, weekly income trades, or automated decision-making where emotion is taken out of the process. With the right structure, you can build long-term, compounding returns without needing hours at the screen.

11–15 points: You’re a balanced strategist

You take a measured approach to risk: not too cautious, not too aggressive. You like structure, routines, and setups with a statistical edge, but you’re also comfortable making decisions when the market moves.

This style works perfectly for hybrid strategies—part mechanical, part discretionary—such as credit spreads, trend-based premium selling, or momentum setups with clear rules. You’re well positioned to scale your trading by improving execution, reducing noise, and building more automation into your workflow.

16–20 points: You’re an active analyst

You enjoy the process of analysing markets, spotting movement, and engaging with price action. You’re comfortable with volatility when there’s a plan in place, and you tend to perform best when you can interpret and respond to what the market is doing in real time.

Your personality fits strategies with higher engagement and clear risk frameworks—such as intraday premium selling, managing spreads actively, or reacting to IV spikes around events. With stronger risk rules and better execution, your style can generate impressive returns.

21–24 points: You’re a high-octane risk-taker

You pursue opportunity with speed and confidence. You’re comfortable with drawdowns, volatility, and the fast pace of markets—often preferring the energy and upside of high-risk environments.

This personality type can generate big wins, but only when paired with sharp risk controls and automation that prevents over-trading. You’re a natural fit for event-driven strategies, intraday spreads, IV spikes, and high-momentum environments—but resilience, discipline, and proper sizing are the keys to longevity.
