Where to meet high-IQ traders and investors?

Serious Question:

Does a trader with a high IQ affect his results from trading?

If you mean in a negative way than no, I don't think it actually does - although when I first thought about it seemed like that might be logical. "Think" isn't a very strong word, but I have no actual evidence to support my claim, so that's about as strong as language I can objectively use.

I said that because someone who truly has a high IQ(no one has really specified yet how high, I am assuming higher than average) has a higher probability to figure out how the markets actually work, or at least a strategy than can churn a profit. Than all that's left would be handling the emotional side of it. What probably is a bigger factor at this point would be EQ

It's like the markets are so difficult generally speaking, with so many challenges that people with high IQ just become added casualties to the pot and/or people are correlating the failures of high IQ when at that point it's probably EQ causing the failure.
 
If the market were logical then every logical approach would bare fruit. I do not think you mean logical in the literal sense to the retail trader. However, I think I know what you mean...I am a little slow o_O

Thank you for sharing...I worded my question carefully as not to tip my hand in what I think. Negative or Positive...I just wanted to hear from you...

It is logical, but you have to know how to find the logic - that's the hard part. Also, even if you tell people the logic and how to make money. Emotions / EQ come into play and that alone is probably an even bigger reason as to why people fail as oppose to strategies / etc.
