Trader IQ

[Pony 10]

What is it exactly? Who judges it? What's better, master trader or market wizard, etc. etc.?

Ha ha ... this is the 8th Wonder of the World ... and the most closely guarded secret on Traders Laboratory.

 

So secretive is this IQ assignment process, that even the administrators of the forum are not privy to how it works:

Once you have it though, you are bonded to the forum for life, and there is no escape!

Never ending story and a surfer? Cool man.

it helps if you drink whiskey, not beer.

Market Wizards rule them all but a Master Trader is not too far behind ... Trader IQ is based on the a number of threads and posts a member contributes to the community. Keep posting!

I knew a guy who asked too many questions about trader IQ and he was terminated. I thought it was only from this site, but his phone was soon out of service and my emails to him all bounced back.

...so I could have a traders IQ of 100 and never even really be a profitable trader?

Dude! I'm going for it. If I never earn a penny from trading I want that upper 90s traders IQ! Now I have an attainable goal!!!

The more you post, the more profitable you become.

[JEHs 10]

Course, I don't even have an IQ apparently, so it probably doesn't even apply...

[MadMarketScientist 11]

The more you post, the more profitable you become.

 

Yes that is a confirmed fact - posting on TL will make you a better trader!

I have just been in touch with my handlers and superiors.

 

I am now in a position to confirm certain facts. It was indeed your friend's remains which were recovered from the Cahulawassee River. That's all I'm saying at this juncture.

 

Investigations are ongoing of course, and we are aware of certain facts surrounding this case. I feel obliged at this point - under some duress - to ask the public to desist from asking too many questions about the topic under investigation. Move along people - nothing to see here.

 

Your friend looked like he met a sudden, but clean end. Others were not so fortunate - (yes there were others ... some of this is ugly.)

 

By the way - the deceased had a Traders IQ of 115.

 

It was not enough!

I think you may have been mistaken. My friend, I am certain, had a higher Trader IQ. The deceased trader you speak of is believed to have lived in the Santa Barbara, CA area. Oddly enough it is reported that his death was actually carefully planned and a result of extensive testing. His survivors seem to all concur that he was by no means gun shy even at the time of his death.

Thank you for your submission - it may yet prove invaluable.

 

As I said, I am only able to release certain information. Although I mentioned "a sudden-but-clean end" I was unable to specify the actual situation, because this is a family forum.

 

Let me simply say that with the small amount of organic material recovered, the statement I released was a "best case" scenario.

 

The deceased appeared to have come to the end of his resources, despite developing a significant ability to trade. To disguise certain facts, as is the custom during the careful release of information to the public by my department, I deliberately understated the IQ of the hapless victim.

 

Certain "other facts" will remain with-held at this time, including whether the "deceased" is in fact the John Doe we are holding. What I am at liberty to disclose is that this particular John Doe is not the first, and will not be the last. Specific forums have been set up on the Internet in an attempt to prevent further of these unfortunate events.

 

However, at this time, it appears that apart from the incredible material presented on Traders Laboratory, most of these Internet forums rate a "fail" in that regard. Traders Laboratory seems to be improving, and it is hoped that fewer JD's will pass into our hands as a result of the efforts of that forum.

 

For now, however, the actual rating of a Trader IQ seems not to be making any difference in the numbers of traders following in the footsteps of your friend. In fact, the more intelligent ones are beginning to question whether they really gain any long term benefit from the activity known as "Trading" at all.

 

Please be aware that any information, statistical or otherwise emanating from my department, may or may not be accurate, as certain situations are perpetuated for the profit of certain individuals and departments. This will already be clear to more experienced "traders" who are knowledgeable enough to avoid promotions of systems and strategies as a means to grow wealth.

 

We release only enough information to prevent panic in the general trading population, and I am not authorised to add anything other than that. Long term, the goal is to prevent the sad situations we are confronted with daily.

 

Unfortunately, this information may have been made available too late to assist your friend.

Thank you inspector.

Thank you inspector.

I am going to rain on some parades today, because the weather outside is doing that to mine.

 

The initials: "IQ" actually stand for "Industry Quotient" - referring to the amount of effort and diligence traders apply to their chosen tormentor ... the markets. In any Laboratory you do need a degree of intelligence - monkeys in charge of a Lab will take a long time to discover that C12H22o11 is sucrose! But you also need a degree of industry.

 

I suspect that most of us pass the intelligence test - wherever that particular bar is set.

[forexfilms 10]

We are just monkeys in a lab. That's the problem.

[Tradewinds 12]

My IQ just went up....

[Tradewinds 12]

[Tradewinds 12]

............................ what is IQ?

[MightyMouse 12]

............................ what is IQ?

 

It's based on the number of posts and threads you are involved in or on. The higher your IQ, the more addicted to trading you are. Your status is market wizard which is the equivalent of someone needing Methadone.

 

Did I say addicted? I meant passionate.
