Why we need more (good) female traders

Am I missing something here, on here website the link has been removed for verified myfxbook. Seems a little skeptical to me, perhaps?

Account Management Services (Pamm) - Elevated Investments

I think I found it:

ElevatedInvestm’s Profile | Myfxbook

Hmm - not much happening, rather strange.

Her website does seem to be built around selling a service, rather than a professional FX trader - just an observation. She even provides American Express cards!!

Probably. Her Linkedin profile says that she is in real estate, so her forex trading is probably a small sideline.

Raman Gill’s curriculum, on the other hand, is much more oriented toward finance and her profile page seems much more detailed (again, you would have to see her P/L).

Here is Diana interviewed om the Futires.Show:

I very highly doubt that more female traders is going to change macroeconomics so significantly that the bubble/burst aspect diminishes even a little. Traders are no more responsible for bubbles forming than they are for when they burst. Therefore changing the gender makeup of traders is unlikely to make any sort of change to that cycle.

So I have a difficult time believing the premise of the article.

We have lots and lots of good female traders, some of them are even better than the male traders, If you wanna find some, all you need to do is to do a little research.

Nah! I am not at all surprised, I am on a break of very ling time and have seen too many female traders who are here to make money and they are making money more than some male traders.

Hello ladies (and gent readers),

My name is Vickie, and I just thought I would drop by and introduce myself. I’ve been trading off and on since 2010, and though I actually started my Forex education here at babypips - I haven’t been active on here for a long time. But I’m back and love contributing, I enjoy helping those who are just starting out on this journey - and I know there are so few women in this field! It can be tough because I feel that we are not always taken seriously. But, results speak for themselves, so if we want to change that perception - we have to achieve results. I remember there was a woman on babypips when I first started, I don’t remember her name - but I followed her journal for a long time, she was so inspiring to me! Her name was Nakita maybe? If any of you know who I am talking about, I would love a link to her old journal. Anyway, the point I am making is - she is probably the reason I have made it as far as I have. Simply because I saw that she could do it. I want to be that kind of role model for others. So, If anyone ever wants to say hi or interact, don’t be shy - I’m quite friendly :slight_smile: Unless you’re a jerk, in which case I have no problem telling you where to shove it (lol…not usually a problem with the girl traders). I also have a thread in the journals section, I trade in the price action style. Happy trading everyone!

Could it possibly have been this thread? ( not inferring in any way that you might be a…! :smiley: )

Yes! That is it, wow I can’t believe that thread is still going. Although the OP hasn’t posted in a longtime. But still that is awesome! Thanks Simon, I wasn’t sure about how to find it, and I wasn’t even sure I was remembering her name correctly.

Maybe it is now your “destiny” to continue her work albeit not necessarily on that particular thread! :smiley:

I hope that the OP of this thread, PMH, will notice your appearance here, I know he drops in from time to time…

Hello Vickie, thank you for posting on my thread!

I hope that you will inspire other traders, male but also (and especially) female,

to take control of their finances and do due diligence - of course, this is assuming

having investing capital to begin with (something that is often lacking).

I hope that others, like you, will come out of the woodwork to tell their tales…

PipNRoll and Lexys were two successful traders that I got to know and they

have been profitable, in their own unique ways, with trading (both forex and

other instruments)… These two women were so modest about their achievements

in comparison to a lot of men on here who come out all guns blazing and within

a few months disappear without trace… I just generalise here, but the attitude difference

is clear to all who look…

Of course, it is also impossible for women on a forum to be ‘themselves’: if they are too

friendly they get a lot of men flirting or saying inappropriate things to them; if they are too

harsh they get bombed down with insults for being ‘a b+tch’; if they get angry then they

are, you know, ‘THOSE angry women’… :sa:

And if you are a successful woman trader on a forum (or anywhere) then, given the laws

of demand and supply, you will be treated as something of an icon, a rare thing to put on

a pedestal, and expected to be perfection personified: this too is unrealistic…women, like

men, make mistakes, so you cannot lampoon someone for failing 'because , you know, she

is … a woman’…

Food for thought!

It is certainly hard to be a woman on a Forex forum. I’ve abandoned a few over the years due to an overwhelming amount of hostility - that I felt I did nothing to bring on to myself. It’s like once one goes after you, its a dog-pile until they’ve torn you to shreds. Well, I have high hopes that this will not happen this time.

I’m just going to try not to let the negativity get to me. Psychologically, we have enough to deal with concerning our trades - we don’t need to let other people’s crazy issues psych us out. I’m just more comfortable in my own skin. If I screw up, I’m okay with that. I don’t profess to be anything I am not. I am very open to further help and instruction as long as it’s given respectfully.

You bring up an interesting point though, about how if you’re successful as a woman you might be put on a pedestal. I certainly don’t want that kind of pressure. I just want to grow and do my best like everyone else.

I don’t think that there are shortage of successful women, who are dealing in with the Forex Trading. We have quite a lot of them around and even we have the ones who are lots and lots of them, who are even better than the male traders.
