Trading Skill Assessment | NAKAMOTO Academy

Placement

Sorts learners into foundation, developing, or process-ready paths without pretending a short quiz proves trading skill.

Weak area

Identifies whether the learner needs terms, chart context, risk control, execution discipline, or review habits.

Next action

Sends the student directly to the right lesson, planner, drill, or tool instead of leaving them in the Library.

Placement test

Score the process, not the ego.

Choose the best answer for each situation. This is education-only placement, not proof of market edge.

1. What does the bid-ask spread usually represent? The guaranteed profit on a trade. The difference between available buying and selling prices. The distance between support and resistance.

2. In an uptrend, what should you usually see? Higher highs and higher lows until structure fails. One green candle after a news headline. Random candles with no swing relationship.

3. Why should a stop sit beyond invalidation? Because the trade idea is wrong if that level fails. Because tighter stops always make more money. Because stops should be placed at round numbers.

4. Price sweeps a range high and closes back inside. What is the safest first reaction? Chase the breakout immediately. Recognize possible failed breakout behavior and wait for confirmation. Ignore location and trade the next candle.

5. What makes a trading journal useful? Recording only wins. Tracking setup, context, emotion, mistake, and review notes. Writing predictions after the trade closes.

6. A 50% drawdown requires what return to recover? 50%. 100%. 25%.

7. Why is the middle of a range often a poor trade location? Invalidation and reward are often unclear away from the range edges. It always guarantees a reversal. It has no buyers or sellers.

8. What should happen before increasing trade size? A single large winning trade. A validated process with sample evidence, controlled drawdown, and review. Feeling confident after watching a setup video.

After scoring

Open the recommended path, then build a weekly practice plan so the result turns into action.

For teachers

Use the result to place students into cohorts, assign drills, and compare weak-area patterns over time.

For the business

This is a clean onboarding engine: assess, recommend, plan, practice, and return.
