China doing IQ genetic code research
"A 20-year-old Chinese geneticist who has been dubbed the nation's "Bill Gates" is 3 months away from releasing the results of a groundbreaking but controversial study to identify the genetics behind high IQ in humans. The Wall Street Journal reports on the fascinating career of Zhao Bowen, a child prodigy in charge of the cognitive genetics lab at BGI, a private company funded in part by the Chinese government. Zhao and his team are studying 2,200 DNA samples, most from extremely high-IQ American volunteers, and comparing them to other genetic samples from the rest of the population to find out which combinations are responsible for massive intellect. Some critics are wary of the findings being used to promote scientific racism, and while Zhao recognizes there are concerns, he's moving forward. 'People have chosen to ignore the genetics of intelligence for a long time,' Zhao told The Journal. 'People believe it's a controversial topic, especially in the West. That's not the case in China.'"

If there is a pill to boost IQ 10 points i will get one..

The fallacy with IQ is that while many believe that it is the measure of one's intelligence, it only measures logical intelligence and ignores other types as have been documented by education researchers and psychologists. Ironically many who have very high IQs have deficits in other areas for one reason or another. An interesting study is that of those who suffer from Asperger's syndrome autism. One person I know is a genius when it comes to computers but has a severe lack of intrapersonal intelligence.

A person with exceptional high IQ might have deficit in other area.

However logical intelligence is quite important in trading.. i would say that successful traders who come out with their own methods(Edge)
have IQ of at least 120-130.

Good Karma(spiritual)

Could someone please explain in concise terms what this means? Trader A has this and trader B doesn't, what observation would have predictive value over this attribute?

Maybe the OP means having a positive attitude towards life and others?

If that's the case, I would simply merge it together with psychology/mind. In any case just replace good karma with money management. MM is the single most important aspect of trading. It is the art of survival in the market.

A good EA is able to incorporate money management into their automation system

So i would categorize MM as trading system(edge).

Simply speaking Karma is the Law of Cause & Effect
It can work for short 'timeframe'(daily), to very long 'timeframe'(lifetime to lifetime)

The personality trait, the spouse we meet & the family we born into is the result of karma.

This concept may sound foreign, but for us Chinese we have been believing/knowing this for thousands of years...
even though we seldom openly discuss it.

World's fastest smartphone:
Report:
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei claims the Ascend P2, above, connects to the web up to three times faster than other smartphones when using Wi-Fi.
Huawei, the Chinese telecoms equipment group, has unveiled what it claims is the world's fastest smartphone and announced a 60% annual rise in shipments of its mobile devices.
Headlining at the mobile phone industry's annual gathering in Barcelona, which opened its doors a day after hundreds of thousands of demonstrators rallied across Spain in protest at national austerity, Huawei presented its latest device to run on Google's Android software.
The Ascend P2 connects to the web two or three times faster than other smartphones when using Wi-Fi, its maker claims, downloading high-definition films in minutes and videos, songs and ebooks in just seconds.
In the Christmas quarter, Huawei overtook BlackBerry to become the world's third largest smartphone maker. Although it is some way behind Samsung and Apple, its less expensive but high-performing handsets are attracting a growing following.
It shipped a total of 127m consumer devices last year, of which 32m were smartphones alongside more basic "feature" phones, home broadband modems and dongles to connect laptops to mobile networks.

Can't wait for this Huawei phone to be launch in Malaysia..

I appreciate your thread and the discussion, Les Lau. I think people should not be so quick to dismiss your description of Karma and the role it plays in successful trading. Forex can be incredibly frustrating, it is very important to arrive at a point where there is a certain peace in your spirit so that you can execute the trades in a disciplined fashion. For me, a proper balance in my life was very important to discovering and then applying what I believe to be an edge with my methodology. So I think this is important throughout the process of becoming a successful trader, including the discovery phase before becoming profitable, which requires many, many hours of screen time. I don't see how it could be possible for someone to go through that without having faith in the first place. Sometimes even those who may not think there is a link between faith and trading may find themselves exercising this faith without even realizing it.

I'm afraid this clarifies only very slightly. You state that a phenomenon causes personality traits, whether or not I meet a certain spouse, and who my family is. What phenomenon causes this and how do we measure it?

Indeed Les Lau, I share your attitude on that. I do not see any good reason why genes should not be tinkered with aside from ensuring safety. I think over time the West will become less paranoid about this, especially when the benefits become too great to ignore.

Jotto999, it may not be a single phenomenon ~ this can be series of event or even lifestlye
if interested can do some searching in web regarding hypnosis regression, and see the ties between past & present
