What’s Your Trading IQ?
Retail Trader or Institutional Thinker?
In every market, there are two types of participants:
Retail traders provide liquidity to the markets. They are the counterparty. They react, chase, and exit at precisely the wrong times. Their predictable behavior fills institutional orders.
Institutional traders move markets. They position ahead of major moves, think structurally, and operate with systematic precision.
The difference isn't intelligence. It’s how you think about markets.
This assessment measures which side you’re on.

About Prof. Aldo
With over 25 years of experience as a trader, educator, and technical analyst, I have dedicated my career to helping traders master market forecasting. My journey began in 1995, and since then, I have worked with thousands of traders worldwide—guiding them through Elliott Wave theory, market psychology, and advanced technical analysis.
I founded the Technical Analysis Institute because I believe serious traders deserve more than just trading signals and generic courses. T.A.G is not just another training program—it is a structured mentorship experience that leads to professional certification through the TAICA (Technical Analysis Institute Certified Analyst) designation. This ensures traders don’t just learn, but actually master the skills required to forecast markets with confidence.
Through weekly coaching, structured lessons, and direct mentorship, I guide traders toward true market expertise—giving them a clear, professional pathway to success.
