Risk Tolerance Quiz
Five quick questions to find your trading risk profile — conservative, moderate or aggressive — and the EU-regulated brokers that fit it. No sign-up needed to see your result.
Why does risk tolerance matter?
Your risk tolerance decides how much leverage, drawdown and volatility you can sit through without abandoning your plan. Matching it to the right broker — the right costs, platforms and account types — is one of the most overlooked steps in trading. Answer honestly for a result you can act on.

Risk warning
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 74–89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

The three risk profiles
Conservative. You put capital preservation first. Top-tier regulation, investor-compensation cover and responsive support matter more than shaving a fraction off spreads. Lower leverage and smaller position sizes keep you in control.
Moderate. You want steady, consistent growth with risk you can manage. A well-rounded broker — solid regulation, competitive costs and a choice of platforms — suits measured swing or day trading.
Aggressive. You trade actively and accept larger swings for larger upside. Fast execution, tight spreads and professional platforms carry the most weight. Discipline on position sizing matters more, not less, at this end of the scale.
Risk is personal — and so is the right broker
No profile is “better” than another. The point is to trade in a way you can sustain. CFDs are leveraged products and 74–89% of retail accounts lose money, so an honest read on how much risk you can carry is a genuine edge.
