Trading quiz for beginners: 10 questions to place your level
A quiz is there to find the hole in your reasoning, not to grade you. Every answer — right or wrong — is explained, and the explanation is where the value sits.
The questions below cover the four base blocks: vocabulary, order book, risk, psychology.
Today’s snapshot
Reading of 2026-10-24 — quotes from public sources; they are not a forecast.
Read today’s market briefing →Vocabulary: the six words never to confuse
BID (best buy), ASK (best sell), SPREAD (the gap), LEVERAGE (the multiplier), MARGIN (the deposit), LIQUIDATION (forced close). Confusing margin with maximum loss is a beginner’s most expensive mistake.
Those six words appear in every quiz question, every order, and every market conversation.
Risk: the only question that matters
“How much do I lose if I am wrong?” is answered BEFORE the entry, never after. Position size is computed from the distance to your stop, not from the amount you hope to make.
One simple, sustainable rule: risk a small fixed percentage of capital, identical on every trade.
Psychology: the two most expensive biases
The need to get it back (revenge after a loss) and the fear of missing out (entering late, with no level). Both are cured the same way: rules written before the session, and a journal read calmly afterwards.
The simulator exists exactly for this: to live through both biases without paying for it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the quiz free?
Yes, and part of it can be played without even creating an account. The full quiz, with score and progression, is inside the game.
What score do I need before trading live?
No score entitles you to risk money. A good score means you know the vocabulary and the rules — the psychological part is only tested live, with a tiny size.
Is the quiz available in English?
Yes: every question exists in English and French, with the same explanations.
Can I retake it?
As many times as you need. The point is to repeat until the answer becomes obvious.
