Both Chopin pieces are listed in Grade 9 RCM Canada. I'm guessing Traumerei to be around Grade 7 and The Entertainer about Grade 8.

Grades are meaningless...what matters is how well you play them. In the RCM system, I have seen terrible students playing grade 10 level pieces, butchering them to hell, and I have seen some very promising players performing some of the simpler repertoire of the grade 6-8 level at a very high level of musicianship and quality.

absolutely YES! grades are meaningless.
if you're not going to take the exam, i think it's useless to know what grade you are. (unless your teacher charge you according your grade)
