Women traders.

It so happens that in the financial world, men occupy the top rankings; everyone knows the names of Soros, Trump, Cohen, and other major financial moguls.

The question arises: are there female traders, or is trading and achieving success in the stock market a male-only pursuit?

Why is it so rare to see the names of female traders in the media? Are there any successful examples of women making a fortune in forex?

Working on financial and commodity exchanges was considered exclusively a man's business just a few decades ago, which is why there are so few women traders among well-known stock market players. The average age of major investors is 60-65, and they began their careers in their 20s or 25s.

It's quite possible that in just a few years, we'll hear about new female billionaires who made their fortunes on the stock market.

Another reason for their lack of visibility is the nature of online trading : it's virtually anonymous; if you don't want a dealing center to publish your name, it will remain confidential.

How many women trade forex and how successfully?

Currently, it's around 8%, and this data is based on specific statistics. What's most interesting is that they trade several times more successfully than men. This may be due to women's natural caution; they're less likely to lose their deposits due to reckless risk.

The question arises: why such a small percentage of the total number of traders? It's quite simple: for most men, trading is an additional source of income, which they dedicate their free time to earning.

Women have much less time, so they trade less frequently. Furthermore, earning money has always been a male prerogative, and many women don't consider it necessary to seek new sources of income.

Therefore, if you're a woman and have free time, there's nothing stopping you from becoming a trader and building an independent career. How to get started in forex trading is described in the article " Forex Trading Basics ."
