Where to meet high-IQ traders and investors?

it's basically people who are wannabees. There's the same thing in poker. they suck but they want to be around "the action". to take care of the cognitive dissonance they have various coping mechanisms such as pretending they're profitable, acting like they know what they're talking about, etc. You want to see these people? Come to Vegas during WSOP lol. Not a pretty sight :)

You played 6 six years and probably scratched. One lucky WSOP would have been better.
 
When it comes to active trading, I'm not sure that someone's overall IQ level matters as much as their fluid IQ & EI levels. Every public forum will have a wide variety of personalities. You just have to filter out the noise to find substance.
 
Go into your own profile and look under people you ignore...type my name in you idiot...let me know if you need help putting your trades on...

What are you talking about? There are no high-IQ and average-IQ people with similar psychological profiles?

High IQ people are great in knowledge and complex thinking but poor in knowing them selfs and how to implement a working strategy. If they are really smart, they figure out that the best trading strategies are kiss. Untill that they find that true, they will continue to try it with their mind to solve the puzzle. And when they are really frustrated they are going to be searching other people with a high IQ to debate things in the hope they will figure it out somehow and learn something new. Endless cycle.

Guilty of this. Tested above 160 twice. Recognised poor self knowledge in 2016 and have been growing slowly since then. Good memory + general intelligence usually leads to shortcutting development of other skills, including introspection.

Code: 
find / -follow \( -type trader -o -type investor \) -print | xargs testIQ |
perl -n -e 'use warnings; use strict; our $HIIQ; BEGIN { $HIIQ = $ENV{HIIQ}; }
my ($trader, $iq) = $_ =~ /(.+)\s([\d.]+)$/;
if (defined($trader) && defined($iq) && ($iq >= $HIIQ)) { print "$trader\n"; }' |
xargs whereis

:D

It could just be you have lower emotional intelligence. I do understand you stated since you have a high intelligence quotient, that you feel it made you short cut other areas... both could be true at the same time.

Maybe the distinction doesn't really matter, but for example if I was really good at golf, but bad at basketball that doesn't mean the actual reason I am bad at basketball is because I am so good at golf.
