I took the basic RQ test at http://www.projectionpoint.com/ and got 66.9, which falls into the average bucket (but slightly above the apparent average of 58). Probably not that surprising given I use automation.

My p&l today tells me that my programs have high RQ though ;) . Then prolly lose it all tomorrow :lol:

I think others should take the test too and see if it actually means anything. I'm looking at you Mr Webb.

I got 72.25, though have to confess to cheating a little!

I had a go for the first 10 questions or so then realised what it was all about and started again!

I then employed the strategy that it tells you about after you complete the test where it tells you how you could 'game' it!

Was an interesting test though, and I can see how it is relevant to trading.
