Is intelligence important for trading?

I have read that accountants and engineers have a hard time
with trading. Something about the need to be right. And being
perfectionists. There can be no perfection in trading...

What this has to do with intelligence? I dunno....

 

Me is gery good heed. I interrijent dropin out hie skule, correj... maik manee toreidin...

Me am veriii smaat, I is interrijent bery berry much.

I maik aberej ov 12 points with NQ. Eberybodi's Inglish berii hard...

 

I agree with you Brandon. Most intellects have to reason out things, and that type of thinking will cause you to lose the edge on speed.

 

Discipline and experience is more important.

Intelligence and persistence helps though.

 

if you don't think intelligence is important, try trading after a frontal lobotomy. duh i don't care

 

Yup. All in that exact order.

 

Longshot, are you still with M-T?

 

am i missing something concerning "janet brown" ??? where in her bio is education or intellect listed ?? LTCM failure has nothing to do with intelligence--it has to do with GREED and EGO.

best,

no, but i have been recently lobotomized, and trading better for it. i highly recommend it!

 

What's the correlation?
