What Market Animal Are You? Take the Quiz to Find Out

Every trader has a style — but which one are you at heart?

In trading circles, animals are more than just cute emojis. They represent mindsets, risk levels, and market instincts that shape how you trade. Bulls, bears, chickens, pigs… and yes, even the sly fox — each has a unique approach to chasing (or protecting) profits.

1) The market opens with a sudden spike. What’s your instinct?

Charge in and ride the momentum! Look for the short opportunity. Wait and see — no rush. Go all-in and hope it keeps going. Watch for an angle nobody else sees.

2) Your trade is green, but news just dropped. You…

Hold strong — the trend is my friend. Time to flip it — news can reverse markets fast. Take profits early to be safe. Double down — we're going to the moon! Use the news to trap overconfident traders.

4) How do you handle a losing streak?

Shake it off — the next run will fix it. Turn more defensive — the market's turning. Step away until things feel right again. Keep trading bigger — I'll win it back! Adapt fast — use the loss to bait better trades.
