I remember attending one of those trade conferences back in early/mid 2000's at a Holiday Inn hotel.
They served free breakfasts, before trying to sell you $400, $900, $1,500....and $5,000, $7,000, $10,000 trading courses/coaching sessions.
The whole thing felt like an evil scam. My fifth sense alert told me so.

That's not the face or personality of a trader, or a truly successful one anyways.
That's the face, eyes, and personality....of a problematic gambler who seeks the high, rush and thrill and emotions and prospect of the win.

I hate to pass judgement on someone or people so quickly, but I've always been a good reader of people.
The bests traders are calm, neutral, quiet-looking, mute, shy, introspective and a bit borderline psycho.
You have to peel at them slowly, and gently, like skinning a grape. Not slicing and dicing with force to a watermelon or orange.

Scientific studies have been done on facial features and personalities and people....to determine what kind of person they are, their pros/cons, strengths and weaknesses.

I’m not being racist. I’m just calling reality like it is.

Which metric(s) do you exactly base your statement on? Seriously asking, because I have never felt surrounded by more morons and uneducated people than the time I lived in the US. Education/Knowledge and IQ highly positively correlate.

I am struggling to see how trading psychology evolves to IQ/intelligence?

 

[Jzwu2017]

Nowadays I am more interested in the market itself than my P/L. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about P/L. Actually I do and I always set stop losses in my trades.

For example, today did anyone notice the QQQ price right before Fed mins release at 2pm EST and the price at the day close at 4pm? If you draw a line between the 2 points see what it looks like? And what does that mean?

Imo, trading psychology is more of having a good emotional Quotient than Intelligence Quotient.
