many people have high IQ but not all of them are trading.

so, my question is;

Whether high IQ it will affect the accuracy of one's decision making because to do Buy and Sell required the right decision-making, extensive analysis and detailed graph reading?

Nope. All IQ means is the ability to pass IQ tests. That's it.

You could be the most intelligent person in the world but a useless trader if you have no control over your emotions. Maybe being a little dull upstairs makes you better. You won't be swayed by theoretical possibilities. You'll stick to your moves.

Control over your emotions is the one thing above all you need. Not many have it.

A successful trader must have these qualities and characteristics,
1. discipline - must stick to his entry and exit point
2. patient
3. must know how to control his/her emotion
4. doesn't get controlled by mainstream news
5. ride his/her own wave

I think IQ fact is a bullshit for me. You can not determine the intelligence of anyone with the IQ test. if you want to succeed on a work,  all you have to do is work hard on that purview.

People tend to talk about iq on every thing depend on success. In fact you dont to be clever at any job for success. Experience is more important than iq. Anyway difference of iq between humans are not too much even less than 1 in thousand.Just spend time on charts , informations forums then you will understand it is basics. If you can just analyse what you ve seen you can be a trader. The more you know the more you earn.

IQ will affect a person's success but success will not be completely dependent on IQ. There are a lot of people who do not really have high IQs, but they can create big businesses like Jeff Bezos, J.P.Morgan, Warren Buffett, etc.
The ability to succeed in any field will be based on diligence, and passion. If there are two factors, you will easily become wealthy and good at your passion without high IQ.

Reading thru charts and understanding whitepapers and yellow papers are not easy tasks so having a good or high IQ is an advantage. However, IQ is not enough in making successful trades. Many have been rekt for being emotional during trades.

I agree. Having a high IQ is an advantage but it will not be your key to success in trading. Trading price depends on the law of supply and demand. Your high IQ will tell you when is the right time to buy and sell but if you are not lucky, you can also lose your capital despite having high iQ.

It could help you to learn the basic easier and you can judge the market better if you got a great iq, but most of the time the market is unpredictable, trading is not like mathematics that can be count, there are so many unpredictable factors that can caused the market to turn around, so IQ will help you but its not a guarantee that you will successful in trading, I think experience and discipline play the most important part in trading

I don't think so. One can know how those technical indicators are computed but it would still depend on how he would apply it to his trading strategy so that he can be a profitable trader. It would still depend on how he would be able to control his emotions when trading and following his strategy without being affected by what is happening in the market.

In fact, there is a tendency that those street smarts has a high possibility of being successful because they use actual experience in learning whereas those who has high IQ maybe working for those street smarts because they are more focus on theories than those what is actually happening. This would be applicable to trading as well.

I don't think intelligence is all it's made out to be either. The most intelligent people I know are also the least happy, least productive and least successful people I know.

Those who work well with others and have discipline, application and the ability to recognise and exploit an opportunity are the ones who get ahead.

I do not think so. Your intelligence is something that will not determine if you are good for X thing, it also depends on your skills and a lot of other stuff around.

I don't think having high IQ and being intelligent is the basis of how can a person be a good trader. I think someone's discipline, patience and being strategic are the keys to success in trading and not all people having high IQ have these characteristics too.  Sometimes having less IQ is much better than having high ones because decision making of people having less IQ is much simplier and less complicated than people having high IQ who depends on much complicated analyzation and assumptions.

IQ is needed and all sorts of things been done do needs thinking which suppose this is a usual stuff and you are right. Intelligence wont really be enough if you cant able to handle your emotions specially when you are engaging into volatile stuff then most likely you will not able to handle your emotion along the way which only a few would able to realize this.If you strive to succeed into this field then you should set up your emotions.

to be a successful trader for me have only 2 requirement! luck and brain. these two words should always be in your side to gain huge profit by trading.  IQ really have plays a great role to be successful in trader.. it is a vital role in creating tough decision in the marketplace...

It is obvious that people who have the highest IQ are more successful in various spheres of life and trading is not an exclusion. I consider sincerely that somebody should not be a trader if one is not smart because trading is fast way to lose money.
There are also important experiences, skills and  an emotional control to be a successful trader because trading is a very difficult activity.

For me,for having a higher IQ is also an advantage when trading. But,you can't be success without of your self discipline,efforts and patience.Gathering more best strategies,also an advantage on this field.

Just like in any other business, if used properly for sure. There are way too many thing to look at, hundreds of currencies, new ICOs, Fiat rates to each other, higher IQ->more effective and faster moon mission.

It affects but not greatly for me if you have very low IQ you can't probably be successful in trading,  if you have high IQ you can be or not just as people with good network are rich rather than those with high IQ.

It can be because higher IQ people who use fundamental analysis can predict next price movements more accurately than those with lower IQ. If used properly, it will be the key to success of someone while trading alts in crypto space.
That's what higher IQ people excel in. Most of them have self-discipline, and since they are also human they can exert effort and be patient. Higher IQ people can also easily learn and adapt strategies they learn.

In my opinion, I dont think IQ plays a great part in one's success in trading. One becomes a successful trader if he/she have patience in everything he/she does and is not too emotional if something undesirable happens. As long as one is responsible and knows the right strategies, then he/she is a successful trader.

Pattern recognition and knowing psychology can help out a lot in trading.  A lot of good traders just have solid intuition

You have higher IQ, you may have higher ability to learn about the field faster and know how to make relevant analysis, you may take 1 day, other may need 5 days to learn about the same knowledge, but this does not directly means that you can gain higher successful trading than the others, as trading depends on the experience, while luck may also involve. A conservative trading depends on the trader's thought and willingness, I cannot see the point directly related to IQ

IQ is just great for analyzing or analysis. Moreover, it doesn't mean they have a good IQ in trading because it depends on them in what kind of specifications their IQ was sharp amd trading is not all about IQ. Patience, self control and knowing the nature of digital currency is another different things that somehow IQ cannot helps.

Being knowledgeable in trading is one of the factors that a day trader must have. A day trader must have a technique to be a successful trader and techniques need a lot of IQ. So yes, IQ affects the persons success in trading.

So true. And those people that have high IQ are usually good in arts and not things where money matters. You just need a normal thinking to be able to succeed in trading that also requires patience and discipline.

I think IQ doesn't matter too much here in crypto. As long as we have the skills and if we have enough knowledge about what we are doing , we could earn better by working hard and by vakuing our earnings. Intelligence matters but the eagerness to succeed is more important.

Someones IQ may have a better understanding in a particular topic and maybe they are in a struggle in looking  charts and analyzing the market. It differs in every person and everybody has different learning strategies. It does not affect the trading experiences but EQ probably will.

I don't think IQ has a major part to play; for me self-discipline, some knowledge, but most importantly emotional control is the most important. There's been a few times I was caught out buying the top after seeing a massive green candle only for the price to plunge an hour later...

IQ has no role to play in trading and it maybe helpful to understand the techniques easily but luck has the main part so if you are luck then you can be a successful person in trading and also the decision making ability is important in the trading.

how about the business man/woman are they have to have high IQ to be success? The answer is big no. If you want to doing the cryptocurrency, and learn about it, hard working to understanding, and never give up I believe one day you will pick the result and being success in cryptocurrency. And if you lucky have the skill on the cryptocurrency is also give influence for being success too. So everything is not only about IQ if you want, do it.

Yes an IQ can affect a person through succession in trading but it does not necessarily require a highly IQ’d person. For as long as you have a decent IQ and you understand fully what you are getting tourself into especially in trading then thats about it. Your IQ does not define your succession, it is a persons ability and willingness who defines them.

High IQ or low IQ, everyone needs to learn before being successful at anything. However, I feel those with high IQ may even have a higher disadvantage as most times, they feel so secluded in their space, feel a bit too over confident, and that may actually be a little bit of problem when it comes to learning a profession. Anyway, IQ is not a measurement of how successful someone ends up in something, it is just how ready and dedicated the person is to learning which somehow still balls down to some level of passion in that area as well.

Actually the level of intelligent quotient is not the reliable factor to become successful because you should still have the ability to be worked it out without losing so much of your investment. Though we should also consider to have a knowledge in one thing that we would perform but for me if you have the basic knowledge you can already survive it.

I think that the IQ level has no decisive factor. The market of cryptocurrencies can not be analyzed, since the exchange is analyzed. Factors affecting the value of Cryptocurrency are news (good or bad, recognition, legalization, prohibition, infringement of new ICO, currency popularity).

cientific/math focused minds tend to do not so well on markets, since they lack the psycological/"hustler" component.
To be sucessful in the markets you need both: cientific and social inteligence. that's why over 90% fail in the long run. people tend to "specialize" in one of them and lack the other

To be a successful investor in this market needs a lot of factors and it is certain that IQ is not a factor that helps investors succeed but it will help them be more alert. IQ does not take up much of the success of a human being because it requires so many other factors.

I believe that it is not a person's IQ that brings us success in trading but it is our hard work and willingness to learn things that we could apply in our life as traders. Our skills about what we are doing also matters for us to have a good gain. No matter how intelligent a person is , it is still nothing without hard work.

You don't need to have a high IQ to be good at trading. High IQ people may have learned trading easily over the others. However, it doesn't mean that low to average IQ people can't understand and master trading.  Experience is one thing that molds you to be a good trader.

I would say no. Because myself has a very high iq. Im member of mensa. But i cant trade, because i cant controll my fud and fomo feelings while im trading. But maybe its a lot easier for people with high intelligence quotient to learn all the basic and advances about cryptocurrencies. I never try it, because im not really interested to sit 24 hours in the front of the pc just to trade and make some dollars of profit.

IQ meaning theory and when enter market IQ is nothing with out psychology. With IQ I can see clear about everything and create many analysis but with psychology I can decides which strategy/ step should do. IQ not always right but it will help us understand what happen ( thing ) from different aspect, with out that we don't have any reason to start activity. IQ and psychology is one part, don't split it. 

eare you really asking here?or you have just wanted to release opinion about IQ?

Well not all genius becomes successful and not all Those having High IQ can make profit in crypto trading this depends on what abilities you have and skills to make daytrading.

I think IQ helps as you need some level of intelligence to understand how to trade in crypto. However, it is not the sole factor to succeed. EQ is important to stay calm and focused in a volatile market - especially now when everything is down

IQ is an interesting way to "measure" one's intelligence, but there are seriously so many things in life that make us an "intelligent" individual. I would say that it doesn't matter your IQ for you to be successful. Sometimes people just get lucky or make a great decision based on past experiences that they have learned from. It is always a good thing to become educated in any work that you are doing so it will help you in the long run, though.

In somehow, those who've got a a good IQ can assess well and can bring trading as a good source of income, they can analyze and intercept what asset
to buy and make an entry, if they will use this skills they have a good edge for them, as time goes by the outcome can be much better for people who
have a great judgement using their advance analyzing skills.

Although an overall higher IQ will generally be an advantage in nearly every endeavour, keep in mind that there are different kinds
of intelligence,some person they excel at other endeavours. Bearing all this in mind, certain kinds of intelligence might make one a better trader than those who lack said intelligence to some degree, the kind of intelligence is depend on
person ability,to used it from different field, those are characteristics of a general IQ, but  they are specific traits in certain people,it just like  same with traders, what those qualities might be exactly, would need to be teased out in research.

The best answer here is:

Many Billionaires or Millionaires in the world are not very Intelligent. Just one example is the Owner of Starbucks and KFC.

However, These Billionaires or Millionaires hires very intelligent person to run their business or company.

In trading. You dont need to be very intelligent. Disciple, continuous learning and strategy is only the key.

Being calm during the storm is important. But then again those who have a higher IQ would not be a trader - they would actually be the exchange them-self or satoshi himself  ;D Then we have people who have good knowledge about the market but then they still are panic selling. Again some people might need money in states of emergency and thus have to get their funds out of the exchange.

Volatile market now means a better growth tomorrow. Keep up the hopes people.

I'm also agree to that case,that rather analytic mind can understanding of the market that required,sometimes in person may  not know what IQ is and trade greatly, when trading on a profitable system,due to robots can trade again , if one  person can perform  as mechanical actions will result at the same time to earn with profit, although intelligence often makes the income bigger,but I really doubt that course advisors are written by people with low IQ,are not required to be trade?

With a low IQ, if you want to succeed at anything, you will still succeed and with a high IQ, if you want to fail, nothing will stop you either. Being highly intelligent does not have anything to do with trading, but at least someone with a good IQ, and who likes studying pretty well and absorbing things fast, may find it easier to grab things pretty fast but low or high IQ, everyone is still in the same boat and will have to learn first.

Probably you do not know that there are some attributes you will need to have to get the best from trading. Start learning regardless of your IQ levels. because with that, many people have cracked the trading into big fortunes and in very quicker time itself too.

Higher IQ means more calculation before try to act.
As we know trading is Risk activity so higher IQ usually not a trader because they are not interested on trading

Trader usually counting on guts,capital, and chance not knowledge

Nope, those IQ test may only test your memory and not the way it can test your psychological mindset. But I think it can help a lot when it comes to trading.

Even average IQ can do trading well because its not only IQ but sometimes emotional intelligence will take part specially in decision-making because there traders which is weak emotionally even if he is higher in IQ but weak emotionally sometimes emotions will prevail.

In my opinion, IQ levels can greatly affect  ones; decision making and how someone approach such situations.
If that person is well informed and uses his knowledge to adapt skills, then there is a possibility that he will build his confidence on what he is doing and having confidence means he knows how everything works. Whether he may gain or lose at sometime, there is a possibility that he knows why such things happened and could accept it and move on to do better. Holding and handling emotions are very important. And I think have great knowledge is a great factor in establishing a good strategy.

I think the EQ is more important in this case, controlling the emotions, also the knowledge for cryptocurrencies and tranding also of course are most important keys

I do believe that IQ has very little contribution to the trade as well as into the other professions, what makes a good trader is the experience and the learning of methods of trade.

Differentiating a person who do have lower and higher IQ is understandable which you can able to point out their gap when it comes to analytic skills specially trading do involve mostly on these kind of matter.Thinking stuff and decision making is crucial which critical thinking would really be required.This is why i do agree IQ can affect persons success on trading but there are factors which are needed for you to control on which is outside on intelligence area which is your emotion and temper, its important for you to handle it because being bright or high IQ would be useless if you can able to control yourself.

I think it affects but not that much. What is important in trading is EQ and not IQ. Discipline, patience etc. These are the most important things in trading

I consider myself as an semi - intelligent person (😂) but my trading skills are not that good.

Having high IQ might help in the analyzing the trend in the market of cryptocurrency. faster thinking and decision during sudden trading. But I think a practical and hands-on experience would win over IQ over time especially in this very speculative industry. Just my newbie thoughts about it.

I think it's very important because with the IQ you can see and think of the right time to buy and sell the right coin because if you do not have an IQ it seems difficult to think and it will be difficult to get a profit.

trading is more likely to be emotional. patience is the first key in trading, reading market and also always see the price movement will always be in tandem. if one of them is passed, I'm sure we will fail in trading. never be careless and too passionate in trading.

In trading there is no exact result and that is why IQ won't make any difference if we talk about the outcome of our trading hobbies. But IQ at some points will give advantages too.

Emotional Intelligence EQ affecting the success of a trader more than IQ. Managing and adjusting Your emotions to adapt to the trading environment is essential in achieving Your trading goals.

yes, iq is one of the biggest factor to survive in the market and good patience will make you earn profit, the reason why most of the people are losing a huge amount of profit is because of their lack of knowledge on how the market system works daily.

Yes, IQ is totally based on general intelligence and trading is a profession on its own which would need to be studied to get better at. The same way not all persons with a high IQ will do very well in medicine or being a lawyer or other profession is the same way not everyone with high IQ will do well in trading.

Every profession comes with the zeal to want to learn, the attributes you have that somehow would work well with that profession, and IQ is just a measure of intelligence like you said, and not a guarantee that you would succeed in everything.

Yeah. IQ is a determinant factor of how you are going to be successful at anything and it is more like saying that someone with a high IQ is going to end up being a successful lawyer, doctor or whatsoever. IQ will be a explicit factor to measure how our performance will be and how much successful in every activities.

Profession is based on what someone personally fills about a particular area and their dedication and passion towards it like you said. If someone with high IQ does not have a passion for trading, he would not learn and if he does not learn and makes any attempt, he will fail even with his high IQ.

besides that, with high iq we can analyze in detail and from all direction of analysis. so i guess it will be more thorough. but even if iq we are high, should be noted psychological stability, and it needs practice

i don't think so. the cryto market changes everyday so you can not use your IQ to predict it. Do you see Mc Afee? He said he has his own graph and formula. How are his predictions now? All are wrong.

Lol. It is just one B.S measurement that some people formed to make themselves feel relevant. Everything like you said requires work and if someone with IQ peradventure thinks with a high IQ he can just hit the chart and start making trading decisions without learning, I would love to see how far he or she is going to have to go with that. Trading requires huge learning and it is important to always understand that no one can be good at anything at all without some proper understanding of that area.

I am agree. Passing the test and knowing your high results makes you feel upper than others. Actually many people have high IQ but they use their possibilities for other things or do not use it at all. For example, I have heard that Snoop Dog has high IQ, but he is not a trader :)

I won't totally agree that IQ affect a person success in trading. The market is not a fixed approach algorithm. Success in trading is dependent on many facts while IQ is measured in a subjective test. Success in trading may be dependent on timing, the amount of information at your disposal, your experience with trading and many other factors. Hence anyone can succeed in trading. A higher IQ may simply give a person ability to learn last how the market runs.

As for me, having enough knowledge and understanding about crypto is enough for us to do it appropriately. We don't really need to have a high IQ or to be a genius for us to understand and analyse the market flow. As long as we understand the basics of trading, we could make things right and make good decisions here.

Price Analysis has to do with your total Emotion and stability not necessarily IQ

We don't need a great IQ in trading. The average IQ will be enough to be able to be a good trader. IQ won't affect much in this type of game.

I think it's more about an emotional intelligence. Sitting on one's hands and not buying or selling compulsively is a hard part.

Having an IQ is required when you do some things that needs thorough thinking and leading you to your own succession but it does not necessarily mean you have to have a high IQ. You just need some IQ to understand what you are trying to get inti, like trading.

IQ is very important for people who own high indexes to be sensitive and they are smart about the market and the market is very useful for smart people with high indexes  IQ greatly affect a person's success in trading.

I've never heard of such a comparison. You can conduct such a study first and after that give us the results.

No, your IQ does not affect success in the crypto currency trade. Everyone is unique and can do everything, so if you want to become a trader everything will depend only on you.

I dont think it affect a persons success in trading, but if you really are driven to strive hard and willing to pearn new things especially in trading then you’d be successful. And I dont think there are any person who joined the cryptocurrency without an IQ, how did he/she got to this point if they dont have an IQ right?

A high IQ does not guarantee a profitable trading but at least you should understand how trading works. Even if you are a little slow when it comes to absorption of knowledge but then when you understand it, you retain it and then work hard to achieve what you wanted then you will become profitable even if you have a lower IQ. If you base it on being successful, not every one who has first rank in your school when you graduate has become successful because when you are already in real life, it is all about working or trading smart not just in theories but in executing it.

High IQ doesn't directly mean that this person can predict what is happening next, not even in trading.
In trading, we can never tell when the market will turn good or bad, it is affected by many aspects like political, economy or the company's problem or news that affect their stock price. Even those experienced trader, they cannot predict what is going to happen next too.
I may say, higher IQ can help a person gain success in trading in faster. They may find faster and easier about the knowledge on trading.

It could be an additional factor to become a successful trader but it doesn't matter at all because it is not the true requirements to become a successful trader. Well for me I would greatly honor the skills, techniques and strategies of one person to be able to become a successful one because that was the only thing that could bring him in success.

What you need any other than IQ are :
Patience
Experience

IQ is not all part you need even the less one you need it is

for being a skillful in something not only in ( trade ) but that is specifically at this thing.. you will be good at
and successful guy at this field.. never matter about your intelligence then... or [your high IQ] basically it's come from
reading and searching  to be aware about  most  edges...    then definitely you will become an expert at this thing ..

Highly intelligent people will not be trading to make money. They will actually be the owner of the exchange or the creator of the project. ;D

It depends on the FUD but this is sometimes predictable and if people have fund lined up in the proper place they might be able to make money. Something called arbitrage trading comes into help during such period.

With experience it becomes possible but no absolute prediction can be done.

This is relative. It depends on the person's interest in trading and their experience. They dont have any direct link.

If you talk like that then it can be said that you are discriminating against an object, what else is this about Cryptocurrency embracing many people down.

No need for a high IQ for Bitcoin trading, because with seriousness, patience and just enough effort, please do not make a question that makes people break,here in this forum we are all the same.

Success in trading depends on how much a person is interested in a positive result, and the result depends on the amount of time spent studying the trade.

Indeed discrimination is a real enemy that is possessed by humans, abisa saw kits in our daily life. his only example in black football is always discriminated by supporters.
In Cryptocurrency it should be that discrimination should be abolished because it would constrict Cryptocurrency, not to expand the cryptocurrency market.

I'm sure it does, but most likely it's not the main component.

Having a really high IQ means you have a mind that is not normal and can do things differently but if we are talking about trading IQ really helps to make strategies and countermeasures to keep disasters from happening if not then they can propose another method to solve it. However in trading having a high IQ is not a game changer trading means having a gut to risk usually high IQ people are gutless when it comes to risking because they think of probably and chances it will succeed.

I think the world of commerce does require a high iq but the luck factor also affects the success in trading, so trading success because iq and your luck.

I have been trading for a long time, and I have to say that if you are smart, it does not mean that you will make money
Trading is primarily a discipline
Because here does not earn the most intelligent and the most prudent
I do not know of any trader who does not have an algorithm of work, and not following him
You always need a strategy, first find the patterns that you think will work
Then test this pattern on history. Take all the deals in a row, and look at the result. I do it this way: http://prntscr.com/k8x5rm
And only after that you can start trading.
Materials for the strategy (patterns, ideas, etc.) you can find in different communities of traders. Such a : http://www.insiderport.com/ Or something like that
and remember that all materials need to be carefully checked

Probably yes, because you will always take more care in those opportunities in where you can lose more and more money, and you will be aware of them. Maybe that is the only opportunity in where the IQ can really affect your trades.

IQ is greatly affecting all the things that person is doing in whole life in every sphere of it. So in my humble opinion intellect quality is defining how successful you will be whatever you are going to do.

In my opinion IQ can affect a person through succession in trading but not necessarily need a very IQ person. As long as we have a decent IQ and we fully understand what we get ourselves especially in trading. Holding and handling emotions is very important. And I think having extraordinary knowledge is a big factor in building a good strategy for us.

Nope, IQ means nothing.

Self control is the most important skill to have. Having a high IQ (in trading at least) is actually a bad thing, because high IQ people typically have trouble discounting their opinions about the market. In other words, once they make up their mind about what the price of a crypto will do they'll stick to that view even in the face of information that contradicts it, which almost always results in them losing money.

of course iq does matter and it actually help a person to become more succesful in trading because if a person has high iq , he is smart and skillful , he does know what he is doing , so he can be able to earn more when compared to a person that has less iq . but , luck and patience do also matter when it come to trading aside from iq , because if you dont have a luck and a patience to hold , your chances of winning your trades is only small .

I think it will affect quite a lot of investors. Simply because investors need high IQ and high concentration to analyze charts and evaluate the market they will invest in for a long time.
But we also know that high IQs will always be rich in investment. everyone needs luck. So if you do not have IQ, do not worry, keep learning and you will have a good result.

Sorry, but I don't agree with that.

Simply having a high IQ doesn't mean you're smart and skillful trader.

If you have a high IQ but don't know anything about trading then you're not going to be a better than someone who does know how to trade but has a low or medium IQ. It just isn't going to happen. Also, the tests people use to determine IQ don't take into account any of the factors required for successful trading, like knowledge of market psychology, Patience and self control, how to us Technical Analysis etc. These are the things that will determine your success. Having a high IQ may mean you can learn and figure things out a bit quicker than someone with a low/medium IQ, but it isn't the determining factor in whether someone will become a successful trader.

I agree with you on 'luck' though, that's something we all need.

It does affect your performance but it doesn't hugely matter because your skills and experience were very accountable to the flow of your account. Your strategies and techniques were being one of the reason to be able to get your dream profit though it may take time especially today that the market is down.

Really the skill is not that much matters in the crypto currency investment,we just need lucky enough to invest at the right time and sell them at the right time,even if you have high analyzing skills and telling themselves as an knowledgeable person is not enough to get succeed in the crypto field.

I agree on the thing that we do need some luck but its not really a main factor for you to rely on since we do talk about trading which is definitely need up skills and knowledge because if you just purely rely on luck then you are just basically doing gambling on the very first place. Luck wont be effective anytime because if you do just carelessly buying things without any basis or analysis then its not different from gambling at all.
IQ does effect not only to this field but on all sorts of things.

Crypto trading is more or less like an gambling but as you said if someone buy and sell the coins just blindly will leads to failure,we need to work our on selecting the coins I am talking about bitcoin probably the best to investAnd decision making ability is important in the crypto trading as well but having high IQ don't give success in the crypto trading,maybe it is just enough to remember all the crypto names available. ;D

IQ is very necessary, because it is very useful.
but besides that there is more important than intelligence, that is honesty.
not everyone has it, we trade bitcoin, no direct face to face does not mean honesty is not in need.
I think the main points for success.

A person can have a high IQ but not know how to read technical Analysis.

Not all need to have high IQ it comes to trading because lots of people in crypto is not a intelligent person but full of strategy how to handle their investment in crypto and how manage it.

Even being able to read charts doesn't necessarily give you an advantage in this market. If that was the case, all the legacy market experts wouldn't be wrong time on time again. You can be the smartest person in the world, but you won't ever be able to figure out what the average joes will do, or an old hand trying to unload a significant number of coins. Only exchanges will be able to know what happens and then front run people's orders, but that's based on insider trading rather than being smart. It's illegal as well, especially if you sell that information to market makers. If you play it fair, you won't be able to time this market, it's that simple....

I think it will affect a persons success if he has a high IQ. Because he or she knows when to trade and when to sell. He or she will not enter trading if he knows that he/she willnot earn some profits.

The level of your IQ does not affect your progress in trading. The main thing in trading in the market is compliance with rules and own trading strategies.

A person with a high IQ needs to be interested in trading and investing and then takes steps to learn it. Just because a person has a high IQ doesn’t mean they are rich or will be rich or even are interested in investing. Not everyone cares about money. Money is not the only thing in life. IQ also does not mean someone is automatically an expert at something. High IQ means a person has the potential to learn well and easily.

Knowledge is very important in this certain field. Having a strategic ways to survive in here really impressive and could drive us to have a better result.  Some traders get failed due to luck of experience and knowledge. It could be in help also if you have courage and strong determination.

Look, everything helps you in making any kind of success and as more beneficial elements are involved in your efforts, more you would be getting for it. So if you say IQ doesn’t matter, this may be right in some cases and mayn’t be valid for some others. But as a whole, this IQ isn’t any compulsory item or element for trading. Traders must be sharp minded to play with numbers.

it depends on what you understand from IQ word if you mean IQ test results, it can be tricky but if you mean intelligence yea of course it will affect the success rate of  your trading.

But you can never know that just as you can never know if the next day you will find a wallet full of money lying on the ground or get hit by a car at that same spot. IQ doesn't have anything to do with it.


Right. The only thing IQ helps is learning those rules and getting used to the system. A smart person will need only a couple hours to get the basics while some people will need months to get to the same level.

I also think that knowledge is one of the most important factor of trading. But it is also important that you must have common sense, which can also enable you to choose the right place for your investment and make money from there.

I suppose that IQ is affecting everything that person is doing and in what it is involved because it is a coefficient that is affecting all the way how person is doing things, and it would be more effective if you have high.

I totally disagree, I mean, if you can't, you don't have to be a trader ?You was born to walk when not able,it does not mean that you should not go because you don't umesaki? I think everyone should do what he likes, take risks and win.If you do not know how to trade then read the literature ,crypto bloggers and various forums,but many mistakes you will make but sooner or later you will learn !

Yes perhaps you are right that intelligence affects trade, but the brain he as muscle if you will to read many and learn the you increase their ability to.And then intelligence will not be a barrier, it would be a desire !

IQ does not affect the outcome of the trade. The result is affected by discipline and emotional stability of the character, as well as perseverance.

Of course the answer is no, mental ability isn't the only thing that
matters in trading. for example having emotional control is also very important.

Well that would cover logic and analytical understanding so obviously the answer is yes. It's not just about reading the market movement but reacting soundly. Anyone with high iq would be able to do so.

i think experience is more important than IQ, people with high IQ is really smart, but not smart enough to face market manipulator. who win in market is holder, someone who keep be patient to gain profit in his asset even don't have high IQ

not much to do with IQ.
you have to be smart (there is a diference)

I wouldn't say that it does affect you trading. IQ might help you with finding good opportunities and good projects but the trading aspect is based on your patience, strategy and goals you set.

That's true even a people have high IQ but it comes to control the emotions it's hard to them. In trading in crypto it's not important if you have high IQ or not the important to crypto is the strategy and how to manage your funds.

Your statement applies to all of the field but I disagree when you say that "All IQ means is the ability to pass IQ tests.That's it". It is proven scientifically that these test are can predict one's capability and I believe it is as effective in trading since it requires critical thinking and analysis. Of course emotion can interfere that's why there is what we so called "practice". I wise person knows that he would need a lot of experience and knowledge before he can be successful in a chosen field but for an intelligent person, he only requires a small amount of these experience and knowledge to become successful.

I think its not really the IQ, but rather how a person can handle his/her emotions.

Trader's IQ is definitely  an important  factor that affect the profitability of trading activities!   Cryptocurrency trading is fast and you must be thinking on your feet to be able to take advantage of the market when it's in your favour!

very influential because trading in crypto not only relies on luck but is a great skill, never rely on luck.

iQ is just a test. for me, the human brain is not a structure that can be measured by anything. The brain is a very general concept. A person's brain can work amazingly at trading, on the other hand, the same person's brain may not work well when writing a book. It is the experience that makes a person successful in a job.

I agree.Even if you have a high IQ yet very poor in making analysis and cannot control emotional fears,still you will not be successful in trading.Having a knowledgeable mind is not enough for trading,you have to develop your own strategies in trading and this will only be developed from your various experiences.

I think it is a great effect if a person tends to win a trade. I mean, that's a great feeling right? So, it affects the persons mind. And it is a great experience for a person to win trades. Winning and losing greatly affects persons mind.

This topic is ironic, there are jobs where you don`t need to think at all, there are jobs where you need to think a lot, but definitely more IQ you have more better you will do your job, what ever it is. Dish washing or trading it`s the same in my opinion, if you give a stupid man to wash dishes he will brake everything, if you give him to trade he will lose all the money, smart man will do every job accurate, fast and without loses. These topics that deal with man's characteristics are related with trading in same way they are related with any job or activity, smart people do things better then stupid people, there isn`t nothing strange about it, it`s normal thing, people with more brain capacity can remember many things and apply them in real life.

I think that is very influential on the results, trading is really needed good IQ because in analyzing coins it is needed but not just IQ if you want to succeed you also have to be diligent and smart.

Yes, of course it is but I would not say that person with lower IQ is not having any chance, I would just say that higher IQ is a higher chance to be successful in any sphere of your life including cryptocurrency trading.

IQ is not really important in trading, high IQ but they have not learn how to trade then they will lost soon. I think the main things that decide a traders succee is how they learn and move follow the market.

I think that IQ play an important role in our life. We can also call is as our common sense which can enable us to take a right decision in a right time. I think that those people who have common sense then they can leas a an easy and successful life. Their common sense enable them o leas a perfect and successful life.

high iq people have generaly a hard time socializing an therfore a hard time understanding people (mass psicology), which at the end drive the market

In trading you need knowledge, strategies, self-control, and experience. Trading can be learned through guides and of course experience.

You need self-control to manage emotions through losses. You can't think of better ways if emotions get in the way. Losing is part of the trading, but what is important is how get back.

You're right, psychologically they have a hard time in communicating with other people most of them, because they believe on their iq and it is not their practice they are more on reading than chatting or asking around in some other traders. Its not all there are many special things to be learned in cryptocurrency.

In my own opinion iq does not matter in trading, what you need is a good source of information in order to make a good decision towards trading and avoid losing your coins.

I think it depends on where you draw the IQ line because if the difference is several folds then I'd believe that IQ plays a role in trading because a higher IQ person will much better and faster understand what's happening with the market.

I don't think so. If you are a patient person, it would be enough to be successful in trading. Good decision making would be a huge factor in order to earn profit in every trade. IQ is nothing but approximation of an individual's capability of a particular field and has nothing to do with practicality which is more needed to earn profit in general.

Exactly.IQ does not mean once you are intelligent enough,you will be also a good trader.It takes a man's heart and mind to be a trader,and if you don't have your own skills and not patient and does not persevere at all,you will not be a successful trader.

In my own point of view, even if you have low IQ it doesnt mean you have no chance to succeed,,, as long as you have strong determination to succeed it covers all your patience,emotions then you will,remember that a successful traders know themeselves better than  any other industry professionals,,,

I also think that IQ has great impact on your trading. If a person have good IQ he can understand and realize in a better way the best place and time for your investment and trading so IQ can play an important role making you successful in trading.

If being witty is an IQ then it needs to have a lot of IQ in order to be successful in this field because it doesn't need to be intelligent in the way that you are knowing it basically but there are some people that always make a way in this thing because Eq can ruin your decisions so for me IQ is the one because that involves strategic mentally skills

https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-reasons-why-intelligent-people-never-achieve-success/

In my opinion, having high IQ is not necessarily a good investment. For this market, intelligence can not make a profit. To make a profit of this market I find psychological factor is more necessary.

I think IQ does not affect the success of a person in trading. The greater influence is rendered by experience and knowledge of the person.

Engaging into trading depends on the person himself. Higher IQ I think, has a little impact on one's success. Ofcouse, having higher IQ means a person would have a better decision making skills especially whenever the market is falling due to the nature of market volatility. So those that are having high IQ are more likely to avoid loss of profit due to their actions during the downfall in their investment as well as situation in the market.

High IQ together with a good self control and discipline would be always a good team-up for a trader because high IQ would be still useless if you cant able to control your temper or emotions which it would definitely lead to loss in your trading career but i do agree into the point that having higher IQ would always have the advantage rather than on the average ones but though it would be still needed on how you would utilize that given gift into you.

I do not think QI has got anything to do with trading. Being super intelligent does not guarantee your success in everything and trading in highly inclusive. I believe trading is highly about following your gut after taking time to analyze the market. There is no doubt an individual with high QI may have very good knowledge about the market but may be very poor at making a judgement call when to buying or selling a particular coin. Therefore... i think when it comes to trading, QI has little or no influence in your success.

very influential because diligent must also be balanced with a high IQ. it will help you to analyze coins.

In my opinion you should not be concerned about your IQ if you are having a success trading because it is not the only aspect that will affect your training success, you would be better searching and studying.

I have been trading for 3 years, but the hardest thing is emotion. IQ does not have an important role in trading and I agree with that. but emotions are an important part and you will find difficult things with emotional control.

If those who with a high IQ have a high accurated(not always perfect) in analyzing the market and have lot of trading experiences then their potential to succeed in "the world of cryptocurrency trading" is very big.
But what I know is that those with normal IQ, can also be successful in the trading world as long as they are patient and consistent in carrying it out.

Actually it depends if does IQ greatly affect a person’s success in trading business because we have a different point of view in terms in life and business matters it really depends on you.

No I would actually think the street wise individual who may have a lower IQ may have the edge.  The trading game is not logical at all.  I have lost countless amounts trying to solve it logically.  I think the guy that can read the situation the best will have the most success. 

Yes, I agree that people with high IQ's have a knack for success compared to people with normal IQ's. But I would also say that "intelligence and achievement are not perfectly correlated". If a person tends to exhibit "wisdom and planning, willpower, perseverance and the desire to excel" then he can be a successful trader. I believe IQ plays a role in life success but personality traits remain the determining feature actualizing that success.

IQ has an effect on trading success but EQ is also needed to understand the markets behavior.

I agree.Having a high IQ is not really a big deal in trading compared to a person who has more experience and be able to control his emotions in times of trading.Even in other fields of work,IQ does not have any guarantee that you will do your work better than a person with low IQ.Hardwork and perseverance is what makes an employee close more to promotion.

I think IQ is not important in trading, the important thing is experience, with experience you will be able to guess when to sell, hold or buy back

If a person has a very high IQ, it does not always mean that he is an intelligent guy. Meanwhile, people with 100+ Intelligence Quotient can really become the best traders.

IQ is a great ability of a person how does he pick up learnings, stratedgies and skills. Unfortunately, now all high IQ person has a high level of interest in some things its some kind of weird and from my other colleagues that has a higher IQ is not good in physical activities other than that they are good in thinking much better if applied here in crypto.

I think that IQ affects everything, whether it is trading or other aspects, such as the learning process, high IQ people can always learn the trading skills faster!

It is depends to perspectives of the individuals I think if IQ greatly affect a person's success in trading because it is still depends o you how they can affect you as a investors in this business and industry.

Learn trading skill can be faster. But, train it is mentally can't be big problem. Of course trading skill is needed in trading activity, but manage asset when we get loss is important thing too. That is why experience is main key.

The IQ is not the correct word here as Iq just means IQ and it has nothing to do with trading.

The IQ  just means passing the test and that’s about it. Nothing less or more.

I do not think IQ is the decisive part. Winning or losing in each deal is based on analytical and emotional skills. I appreciate it if you keep your feelings. For those with high EQ they are often very sensitive to the market but if they can not keep their emotions, they lose even faster than those with low EQ.

It does because having a good or high IQ can make good decision which is essential in trading. Having basic knowledge specially in technical analysis can give you a higher chance of earning good trading profit a day if you do day trading.

I think high IQ does not decide on success in trading, but it is part of the success. I think in trading, my emotions make up a large part of my success, But I'm not successful :(

I don't think so because you just need an average IQ so you can start trading. Your success will be base on your patience and greed. Even the guy has an above average IQ, he can still loss in the process because the prices are unpredictable and it can go low when you expect it to rise and vice versa.

It is important to have knowledge about what you are doing but IQ is not the word.

Of course, a  successful trader must have a high IQ should be. Only clever people can understand the market and coordinate their actions depending on the situation on it. Only an intelligent trader will be able to correctly calculate the entry and exit points from the position and, if necessary, quickly make an important and correct decision.
After all, a person with a low IQ simply can't do it. Yes, he will be able to learn some information, get some experience and trade, but his deals will not bring him big profits, moreover, there is a huge probability that he will lose his investment.. Such a person can be called a trader, but he is not a successful trader.
There is also the possibility that a person doesn't possess high IQ, but trading crypto currencies is exactly for him, this is his vocation. And he is a successful trader in spite of his IQ.

IQ?  I don't think so..

 I guess you must love trading cryptocurreny first, learn trading, trade and work hard. 
 I have never done the IQ thing before. I do not believe in it. It boring stuff.
Maybe you just need to be confident in yourself, live healthy, avoid bad environment, avoid grumpy people, and everything will be fine.

Healthy living = Healthy Meals = Good Health = Confidence = IQ?

your iq just describe for iq test, that different in trading, because you use speculation and prediction not like math .
speculation also fail, and will not always success, so there no guarantee you will success trading with high IQ.

OK, that's all for if people with high IQ are better than others, so I think if a person has a high IQ then they will be more flexible and will probably help them succeed. on cryptographic transactions

A high IQ does not always have to be owned by traders but this will be very supportive in terms of speed of calculation, chart analysis and if the right decision is made in terms of buying and selling. just a little talat will cause us to miss the train and that will cause us to lose and waste time

I think that people with the higher IQ can deal with this business better than the other ones. You will understand it when you watch this curious video on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K58TUgwtwSw

I think that no, I did not study well in college, but I have been trading for more than 2 years now and I get knowledge from books and practice ;)

 Your high IQ will tell you when is the right time to buy and sell but if you are not lucky. Eventually market makers will win most of us because they have underground funding

I think that high IQ is important for a successful trader. After all, its main advantage, in my opinion, is the mind. Thanks to the mind, a trader will be able to study well all the necessary information, learn the right lessons from his practice and learn how to successfully apply his knowledge and experience in trading.
But if a person has a lower level of IQ, then this is not a problem. The main thing is that a person wants to become a trader. IQ level can be raised by training, this is not a big problem. But I think that studying and understanding the current amount of information that is needed for trading is in itself an excellent training for the brain.
So develop your brain! Good luck to all!

I don't know how IQ test goes on. What is its coverage? In my point of view, academic excellence is not a requirement here to be successful in trading. Wise and unemotional are two of the needed characters in trading. You don't do trading by the book, it's majority experience.

Having high IQ is not a guarantee that you will have a good decision int trading. Sometimes our IQ is useless in decision making where in critical during trading.

I agree.Having high IQ may help us to take good decisions in life but it cannot help us in making trading a successful one.It's the strategies that we have and of course patience,hardwork,and emotional control are totally the bases to make our trading become successful and profitable in the end.

i think with a high IQ, of course they have thoughts outside normal human box. so that in determining strategy will be better than us. and i think with high IQ will help solve puzzle chart

High IQ is very helpful in life.But in the transaction it is not the most important.You need to analyze calmly and accurate judgment when trading.

to make a few successful trade, you need luck, to stay long in the market, you need analysis, research, and patience. shear luck wont get you anywhere.

I think that what is important in trading is not the IQ level, but the level of emotional intelligence. People tend to experience emotions, but they can be different and lack of control over emotions in trade can be an obstacle to success. My opinion is that people need to improve their emotional intelligence.

Of course, trading requires an intensive brain activity, this is not the sphere for stupid people. But you don't have to be a genius to make money with trading. You should just have some special skills and experience, which any medium-intelligent person can get if he or she wants.

with these new terms from theymos https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392430.0, it reminds me of this topic, sorry in advance if I "bump" again. It's really obvious that IQ is needed in all aspects of life, not just trading, social life and even posting on this forum.

In my opinion, high IQ does not correlate with trading success. 

In order to become a successful trader, you need to be an independent and self-sufficient person.  After all, the market always moves against the expectations of the crowd. 

Such personal qualities as independence and self-sufficiency can be developed by performing special exercises.  For example, you can dance at a fast pace to slow music, and vice versa (dance slowly to fast music). 

Also, for success in trading, it is very useful to read fiction (for example, science fiction).  It develops the imagination. 

Successful traders and investors travel a lot and communicate with different people.

I think IQ measures ones tendency to make the right decision and its subjective to a field. Uoubmight be better at one thing and bad at another.  Trading is a highly professional field so, its not easy for one not professionalise on the field to come on screen and just look at the chats and decide on a best entry and exit point. You've got to have a background knowledge of the chats and not just that, be good at some analytical tools and actually make use of them to do your analysis and only then can you be able to make a decision that is still subject to probability. What is done on trades is expressed professionalism and no gambling on decision making, having a high IQ have got zero effect if you aren't got the know how.

IQ does still have some usage on this particular unpredictable market on where you could really apply it on some factors which does really need but of course some intelligence but most of the time it would really be involving

about intuition and sustain on where it do really make out some big role or part with this type of career. Success isnt guaranteed though whether IQ is involved or not it doesnt matter
as long you do able to sustain yourself then that what matter the most.

In trading, besides requiring intelligence and accurate thinking, it also requires discipline, smartness in choosing moments and also being the ability to control emotions. Those are some important things that must be considered in trading. if it is said that IQ is important in trading then it is important but that does not mean trading success depends on the level of IQ. although high IQ but not good at reading situations and controlling emotions then it is useless and will still be detrimental. so the most important thing in my opinion is to be disciplined and self-aware of the big responsibility as a trader to be able to deal with and manage the crypto assets you have in order to make a profit.

I also believe that the outcome of your trading doesn't depend on your IQ level.
There are other factors to be considered here, but the smarter you are, the better.
Even regular trader with average IQ can achieve success in this market.
Being diligent, with passion and perseverance are also good factors to consider.
So don't lose hope if you think you don't have high IQ, because this market is for all.

in trading, it is not only IQ that is important but EQ also plays an important role because without good emotional intelligence a trader will sell during a bear market and buy during a bull market.  but i noticed that those who are successful in trading on average have high EQ intelligence, not IQ.

IQ is intelligence, how smart you are so, fine. You can learn quickly, you can master TA, you can identify all the patterns quicker and more naturally than a lower IQ person.

But that doesn't make you more successful at trading. Your strategies and the way the market moves aren't at all affected by intelligence, not to me anyway.

Does it ever occur to you that the most successful stocks people aren't high IQ but high EQ as someone points out above? :)

I think emotions have same effect like IQ in trading so to be successfull its not easy and one dimecional.

Yes, of course. It is natural that your intelligence questions in cryptocurrency will definitely give you good results in trading. However, it is not always right to expect good results.Before trading, you must trade with a market analysis.

I also don’t think that IQ is something that can define the ability of person to trade effectively. There could be one more point here, person with high IQ may not even think about trading because they could simply be doing something better than sitting at home in front of screen. That’s just my thought but reality could be different than this.

However, there are people that I know who are just average like me and yet they have accomplished bigger things in their lives which seems work of high IQ person.

Similarly in trading, I don’t think having high IQ means bigger success.

IQ has nothing to do with trading, its all about some common sense, skill and knowledge of the charts then you should be good to go!

If IQ was among the important components then this would mean trading is meant for the intelligent and nothing else...which is wrong to say.

if you don't have an IQ that is above average how can you control your thinking and also memorize all the available skills? imo IQ is still needed in trading because trading is related to making decisions based on extensive calculations, so IQ plays a strong enough role in one's future.

High IQ is a person's intelligence in the field of science. A high IQ makes a person quickly understand what he is learning. However, in trading as smart as any we are if we are not able to control our emotions will end badly. Some smart people have traded before, but they are not familiar with the market. So with some losses incurred they had to leave the trade. this is why in addition to IQ or high intelligence we must have patience and good management.

So, you're saying that common sense is much better than i.q when in fact that i.q is actually twice better than common sense. Anyone can have a common sense because it's common anyway, its name says it all but not all have an i.q that are high. I know i.q can be inborn too but common sense isn't and can be easily learned.

A person that have a higher i.q would means that he is smart. He can easily learn things including trading and become good at it. Trading is really for the intelligent. Can't you see that there are less number of traders compare to investors? because they say that trading is hard while investing is much easier.

Well, that is exactly right --there is an advantage if people who join in trading have a high IQ, they will easy to understand technical analysis especially to do mathematical problem not need to answer quickly and you are right, there are a huge number of investors than the traders because investing is like a safe zone, you are safe while seeking profit, all you have to do is to wait a perfect time. So it has really great in trading if you are a highly intelligent person, the chances of making profit will always be effective.

When you are smart or does have an IQ then you would immediately notice those mishaps or flaws even though not all people are really good on adapting such situation but most likely you would able

to realize for yourself on whats happening or where do problem starts or do begin and if you do find out that emotion is the culprit then this is where you do make out some adjustments.
Its true that not all high IQ or smart is really good on every aspect but speaking with adaptation and something correlates to it then it would not much of a problem.

For me IQ is the head box of our mind here in the cryptocurrency, without this IQ we cannot do for sure a nice trading activity in any form of the exchange platform anyway. Because, if we implement this in the right manner surely in the end the result will gonna be good, just simple as that. Just always remember to control our emotions and use it properly when we do trade.

Well said. Having high IQ is important but its not only the basis to succeed in trading. Its about how you control your emotion and discipline yourself. It is similar when we're still studying in school. High grades doesnt guarantee of a bright future (though its a stepping stone) because even your grades are just an average but you're strategic and working hard, then achieving your goal is possible. If a person wants to be a trader there's always a way to succeed even you're not that smart because experience is still the best teacher.

Actually, everyone has their own opinion about IQ and in some ways having a high IQ is also important,
indeed a high IQ is not the only indicator in decision making but in making the right decisions a high IQ is needed,
for sure trading is very complex and there are many things we must learn to prepare to trade

All factors are certainly needed for trading, besides IQ, the next factor is EQ - emotional intelligence, the market is very volatile so without EQ you will certainly be tempted to sell or panic too quickly when you see red prices, with a good EQ, traders can control their emotions so they can make the right decisions.

I don't think IQ has a role to play in trading. Your IQ level is very high, but if you have little knowledge of trading then you will fail as a trader. In this case, the important things that need to be mastered first. I don't think IQ will play much of a role here.

as I wrote above, if you don't have an IQ above average how can you make a profit because those who have a high IQ must have the ability to adapt quickly and memorize basic trading skills and market habits. people who have a normal IQ must very rarely be successful in trading.

You answer is No.
High or low IQ does not affect ones decision making when it comes to crypto trading, having a high IQ does not make one a better trader than those with low IQ.
Though those with high IQ do have a higher level of learning and understanding, they tend to discern information faster, and this helps or assist them in learning faster, because they read and as well understand faster than those with low IQ, but however, this doesn't mean they know how to make a  better buy and sell decisions than those with low IQ.

What I have noticed from this is that the lack of income cutouts as I have seen here does not guarantee that a good decision can be made for training here but sometimes it is useless for us to make an IQ decision here where training is discussed.  Either way, that's what someone picked up now

Maybe there is some truth to it but I don't see high IQ as the only reference they will be successful in trading,
Normal IQ will be able if they keep trying and practicing,
besides that trading is very complex and requires preparation of many things

High IQ means someone like Alan in the hangover who is highly expertised in math so he can able to make some huge money in the casino? But in general we see him as a comedian right who just act so uncommon while comparing with others so we don't have to confuse the skills with IQ which are slightly different and someone who practiced crypto trading all the day for years can perform better than someone who is intelligent but new to crypto market.

Well, there is something that everyone should take into account, that every time an intelligent person is going to operate, it is something that should be paid attention to, in case a person who is successful in trading is not only astute, but has to understand many things that others do not see, the fundamentals, some things that a person can see beyond that is what I mean, although you have to take into account that there are people who have a special talent for trading, they are people who see certain movements and the they recreate in your brain and sometimes they happen, I think that an intelligent person will always have a very good chance of always making money.

The advantage of intelligent people is that they can take advantage of every visible loophole to generate massive profits. Smart people are usually the ones who will be successful in anything because they are more focused on the solution, not the problem. when trading everyone will surely be met with many problems and only the smart ones can get away easily and make a profit.

It is not really that much of a big deal, it doesn't really require all the things you said. It requires two things, one is focus  because you need to be purely focused on trading when trading and you can't be just checking instagram stories while trading, that would be counterproductive (not impossible to do, if you are a veteran you may do it but wouldn't help at all).

Second one is studying and learning, there are people who are not so smart in many subjects, but smart about one subject so much that they became professors, I am sure my literature professor has no idea about trading, doesn't make him an idiot, also doesn't make him a genius because he knows a lot about literature. So just be like him, but instead of literature, just learn trading.

Loopholes? I think that one is for the hackers. I know hackers are smart but not all smart people are bad and will take advantage of any loopholes that they see. Sure, it gives easy and huge money but it still better to earn money in a clean way and it's okay if that was small amount.

Smart people can't do anything but in fact many smart people are being beaten by the people who aren't that smart but they are just wise. Not all smart people have all the good qualities in life, in trading for example, one trader can be smart but this trader fails when it comes to controlling his emotion so he can still lose. I.Q does affect but not to a great extent.

If you mean IQ as per intelligent quotient generally I will say no. IQ has nothing to do with ones ability to trade. Trading is a game of emotions for those who understands how to interpret their chats well not gamblers hiding behind candle sticks.
To be a successful trader you must be:

• knowledgeable
• patient
• Skillful
• have the ability to control your emotions [/quote]
  

In my opinion, it can be one of the elements, but not the decisive reason ifba succesful trading.
Trading is complex activities, combining the intelegence  discipline, emotional, behaviour, and also management systems.
It's the unity. If we only have one, it means nothing.
Because even we have done all, it doesn't mean that we will be a very succesful trader.
But ateast if we have those all, we can see and understand trading and make better trading and profits from it

Iq itself is made up shit, stop depending on these measures. Anyhow, where were you gonna measure it? These yt and website 'Iq quizzes' which thrive on your attention?

I dont think it matters unfortunately I bought bitcoin and it flash crashed 3K in one day or so and now I can't get back to the original market level I bought at while I will not sell at a lose I will have to stare at the intrinsic value as long as it takes until I can sell to get my money back.  Just bad market timing you can't always catch the bottom of the market I thought we where going to go into the 50K bitcoin level I just miscalled it now I am stuck at a massive loss for now hoping for a 44k bitcoin its just the way things go sometimes yet its funny how annoying some can be constantly wanting to add insult to injury.  I will just have to wait maybe a month maybe a week however long it takes.
