Level 5 Assessment

You have reached the end of Level 5: Building a Strategy. You now have the knowledge to build a complete trading system from scratch: market selection, entry rules, exit rules, position sizing, trade management, backtesting methodology, and a daily trading routine.

This capstone assessment asks you to demonstrate that knowledge by presenting a complete trading system. You will define each component, explain your reasoning, and show how the pieces fit together.

What to Expect

This is not a multiple-choice quiz. It is a comprehensive assessment that asks you to:

Design a complete trading system with all five components
Calculate position sizing for realistic scenarios
Evaluate a backtest and identify potential pitfalls
Apply your pre-trade checklist to a specific setup
Demonstrate trade management from entry to exit

The assessment requires 80% or higher to earn the Level 5 badge and 50 XP. You can retake it as many times as needed.

Use Your Work

If you completed the Strategy Builder, Pre-Trade Checklist Builder, and Routine Builder throughout this level, you already have most of the answers. This assessment is about verifying that your system is complete and internally consistent.
