Quiz

  • What is the most important factor in long-term trading success? Answer: Risk management and psychology. Risk management and psychological discipline determine long-term success far more than any indicator or strategy.
  • A Golden Cross occurs when: Answer: 50 MA crosses above 200 MA. The Golden Cross is the 50-period moving average crossing above the 200-period MA — a major bullish signal.
  • With a 1:3 risk-reward ratio, your break-even win rate is approximately: Answer: 26%. At 1:3 R:R, you need to win only about 26% of trades to break even, making it a powerful edge.
  • RSI above 70 in a strong uptrend means: Answer: Strong momentum, watch for reversal. In strong trends, RSI can stay overbought for extended periods. It signals strong momentum, not an automatic sell.
