Trading in Financial markets is the great leveller.
I've taught thousands of people indirectly via Video Programs and hundreds of people directly in person via formal Mentoring Programs. Informally also at Investment Banks & Hedge Funds.
There is a correlation between intelligence and results but not the way you think it works. There is a minimum IQ threshold of 90. If you're below 90 you're going to struggle. No matter what. There is no "maximum" IQ BUT ive found that over 130 weaknesses and blind spots start to become apparent. Over 140 they become much more pronounced.
I've seen the smartest academic guys crumble and implode and struggle to even make money from the outset.
Ive seen average IQ guys do very very well.
Ive seen +1 STD guys become incredible traders.
In my 30 year career, the sweet spot seems to be an IQ range of 110-125 with a consistent strong work ethic, no entitlement, an ability to stay objective, a focus on the numbers and never to be emotional / resentful.
The 130+ guys need to learn how to manage their entitlement, work ethic and emotion, just like everyone else. But they find it more difficult. Why? because they've never had the harsh lesson of constantly being wrong and having to get back up repeatedly after being punched in the gut, over and over and over. A lot of them just can't accept it and retreat to their comfort bubbles where people tell them they're "smart" all day.
.., and if you think im being resentful towards smart people think again. Im comfortably over 130 IQ. I had to learn all that myself over many years.
Everyone has their own struggles in life and in trading. BUT in trading the patterns are very apparent and predictable as a Mentor when we encounter a new students personality and psychological profile.
It is teachable. But there are limits. Assuming a minimum level of intelligence, the student has to overcome those limits themselves.

I gave Grok Bot $125 and walked away. it came back with $14,932 and a terminal I never asked it to build.
didn't touch the keyboard once after that first message. it traded its own token launches, and somewhere in the middle of the run it built itself a clean terminal too, just so I'd have something to actually watch instead of digging through raw logs.
five tokens, five trades, five wins. not one loser in the batch.
> GRAVY +$814, +145%
> DRONK +$1,106, +61%
> PIMBO +$1,608, +44%
> SNOOT +$1,997, +32%
> TIZZA +$2,618, +27%
what actually got me isn't any single number on that list.
it's that it never traded the same way twice.
read each token differently every time. how fast holders were actually stacking. whether the volume was organic or one wallet quietly inflating its own chart. how much room was left before the trade got crowded.
sized every single entry off that. not a fixed bet. not a gut call on whichever chart looked the hottest.
five different setups. five different reads. five different position sizes. every single one of them worked.
I've watched enough of these run to know that almost never happens. usually one call bails out four bad ones and the total looks fine anyway. this wasn't that.
$125 to $14,932 isn't luck stacking on luck. it's a strategy that adjusted itself five times in a row and didn't guess wrong once.
that's the part I can't stop thinking about, not the total.
20 GROKBOT TIPS from @poteto Founder Session
If you missed Lauren Tan's founder session on Grok Bot Galaxy here are my top 20:
1. start with a mission, not roles. "compare 3 competitors' pricing by friday" beats "make a research bot".
2. first hire: a chief of staff bot. it hands out tasks and keeps context between bots.
3. starter team: coordinator, engineering owner, independent reviewer. more only once those 3 work.
4. day 1: teach it your top 3 priorities. ban sending, paying, publishing.
5. day 2: hand off one repetitive task. day 3: make it a skill. week 1: add 2-3 specialists.
6. show a flow once and it becomes a skill. no perfect prompt needed.
7. trust in stages: bots draft, you approve. full autonomy comes later.
8. approvals per action. external emails and calendar changes wait for your "yes".
9. "done" isn't proof. ask for screenshots, videos, data checks.
10. verify the actual behavior. bug was duplicates → proof is no duplicates, not "tests passed".
11. the builder never approves its own work. a fresh reviewer bot checks the final version.
12. overnight jobs need: a checkable finish condition, an isolated worktree, a decision log. push, never auto-merge.
13. write briefs like tickets: problem, repro steps, owner, acceptance criteria.
14. no guessing. bots run the app, take traces, use simulators.
15. give bots a feature map: tabs, selectors, shortcuts. fewer wasted tokens.
16. evals = unit tests. coordinator writes the rubric, sub-agents run blind in separate folders.
17. put your taste in CI, not prompts. Lauren bans useEffect and code comments there.
18. package methods as skills. her pstack plugin: /add-plugin pstack → /setup-pstack
19. verify locally before scaling in the cloud. 50 agents without checks = 50 expensive wrong answers.
20. count accepted work, not PRs: fixes accepted, review time, rework, escaped bugs, cost per change.
save this. give your chief of staff its first mission tonight.

Grok Bot Galaxy starts tomorrow with three days of SpaceX AI building an entire company live, and a seven-agent content system with researcher, writer, visualiser, analyst, scheduler and publisher is already finished and running with zero code and ten minutes to stand up.
→ Chief of staff routes every task, nothing publishes without human approval
→ Seven agents, one narrow job each, fixed handoff order
→ Content is six jobs when done manually, this collapses all six into one system
→ The thing between most people and revenue was never the idea, it was throughput

🚨WOW 🚨
Elon Musk just dropped a serious warning:
“You have at most 10 years left to make money by selling your work.”After that, AI will handle most tasks — and paying someone for their time simply won’t make sense anymore.
The 200-year deal of trading your hours for a salary is ending.
And this shift is going to move more money than anything else in modern history.
Real question:
Are you still only selling your time… or are you already learning how to build income with AI?
🚨 ELON MUSK ON HOW TESLA OWNERS MAKE MONEY WITH CYBERCAB
“For the fleet that is owned by our customers, it’ll be like an Airbnb thing. You can add or subtract your car to the fleet whenever you want.
You can say, ‘I’m going away for a week.’ Just one tap on your Tesla app, your car gets added to the fleet, and it just makes money for you while you’re gone. You can add it to the fleet for a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks.
Whenever you want it back, you can say, ‘Come back,’ and the car will come right back.
I’m highly confident that the revenue made by the owner of the car will far exceed the actual monthly payment.”
The best surgeon in the world can only operate on one person at a time.
Elon’s idea is to change that math with Optimus + Grok.
Give Optimus superhuman precision, let Grok handle the medical intelligence, then mass-produce that capability instead of waiting years to train another tiny group of specialists.
Elite care no longer has to be limited by how many elite doctors exist.
That’s one hell of a waiting-list solution.
