1.💥 Right now, as you look at financial feeds, how strongly do you feel the urge to jump into risking your own money? 💥 *

Almost none - I feel completely calm and detached - no real pull to act on anything I’m seeing right now.

Mild - There’s a passing thought (“that looks interesting”), but it’s easy to scroll past without any real temptation to risk money.

Moderate to strong - I’m feeling a clear urge - my mind keeps circling back to the idea and it’s taking effort to hold back.

Very strong - The impulse is intense - I’m strongly tempted to open a position right now, my heart rate is up, and it feels like I’m fighting myself.

2.⚡ How strongly do you feel FOMO when you see other players online posting big wins or green P&L screenshots on social media? ⚡ *

Barely any / No real effect I see the posts but they don’t move me - I stay focused on my own process.

Mild - It registers a little (“nice win”), maybe a quick thought of comparison, but I can scroll past without any strong urge to act.

Moderate to strong - It gets under my skin seeing big wins - I start wondering if I’m missing out and checking charts more aggressively.

Very intense - The FOMO hits hard - I feel anxious or left behind, and it takes serious effort (or I fail) to stop myself from adding risk.

3.🤯 How much does the fear of missing a “once-in-a-lifetime” move drive you to override your rules and enter without full confirmation? 🤯 *

Very little - I can watch massive moves happen without any real pressure - I stick to my rules.

Mild - It registers as a brief “what if” feeling when I see a huge runaway move, but it’s easy to ignore.

Moderate to strong - The fear of missing a rare explosive move creates noticeable anxiety - I sometimes second-guess my plan, enter early or loosen rules.

Very intense - When a discounted setup appears, the FOMO becomes overwhelming - rational thought fades, and I frequently override my confirmation criteria.

4.😵‍💫 When an asset starts moving fast in your favor (or against you), how intense is the impulse to “add more” or “scale in/out quickly”? 😵‍💫 *

Very low - I stick strictly to my predefined targets and sizing - no extra urge to add or scale.

Mild - I notice a small pull to add more or tweak when it's running, but it's easy to ignore and I almost always stay disciplined.

Moderate to strong - It pulls at me when the move accelerates, the impulse to scale in/out - I feel the urge building, and it sometimes takes real effort to hold my original plan.

Very intense - The impulse is overwhelming - whether it's greed on a winner or panic on a loser, I frequently override rules to add size.
