Frequently asked questions
Is the RB Trading IQ Challenge free?
Yes. All 10 questions and your final rank are free. The first 3 questions are open instantly; entering an email unlocks the final 7 and subscribes you to Inside the Trade, our free trading letter. There is nothing to buy inside the quiz.
What does the quiz actually test?
Ten real-world scenarios from a live trading desk: DeMarker (DeM) pullback entries, breakout vs retest timing, position sizing, stop-loss discipline, support and resistance flips, interest-rate reactions, and a $100K prop-firm trailing-drawdown scenario. Every answer comes with the chart marked up and the reasoning explained.
What do the trader ranks mean?
Your score maps to a five-rank ladder: Learning the Ropes (0-3), Retail Trader (4-5), Consistent Operator (6-7), Desk Level (8-9) and Full Marks (10). The rank reflects knowledge of the concepts the quiz covers, not a guarantee of live results.
Why do you ask for my email after question 3?
The email unlocks questions 4-10 and adds you to Inside the Trade, RB Trading's free newsletter - two letters a week on trade reasoning, risk and psychology. It is free forever and you can unsubscribe in one click; the quiz is how we meet traders who want to improve.
Who is behind the quiz?
RB Trading - the team behind the Trade Desk weekly-plan dashboard, the Inside the Trade newsletter and a masterclass library. Every chart in the quiz is a real annotated chart from our desk, not a stock image.
Is this financial advice?
No. The quiz and guides are educational only. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument, and trading involves real risk of loss.
You've cleared the warm-up. What's left is the intraday Fibonacci setup, the position-size
question most traders get wrong, and question 10 — the $100K prop-firm trailing drawdown
scenario that fails more funded traders than any other rule.
