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!

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.

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.

 

:rofl:

 

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.

............................ 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.

      Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
