I don’t think trading is gender based. Trading requires proper knowledge and skill-set. It has nothing to do with gender.
Be it men or women, it is that passion for learning something new and of course, the extra earnings, that pull people close to trading.
Ya new traders tend to think that forex is a get rich quick scheme which is not the case.
A lot of traders who are joining this business want to make profits very soon but this is not what happens in reality.
Yeah, trading can be done by anyone. It only depends on the skills and knowledge of a person.
It seems that in line with the ethos of this thread, which only is intended to consider the role of trading in the lives of men and boys - and their adaption to the new “Rules” of Society as applicable to this Group only, that the new revelations regarding the Gamegroup debacle that men and boys really are flexing their muscles and THINKING !
Absolutely SUPERB piece of lateral thinking - I have only praise for their actions and look forward to seeing how they will make further inroads into the “Status Quo” - Well done LAds

True and it has nothing to do with gender.
Earning by just sitting anywhere, is the most attractive part of trading for both men and women
There is a bit more to trading than just sitting there. No desk job involves just sitting there.
Its true, the knowledge and skills required are not gender-specific. Nevertheless, I’d bet money that 80% of traders are male.
Absolutely right! I think it’s just the financial goals that attracts anyone to do trading. Trading is not gender biased.

Ofcourse forex is not a get rich quick scheme.
Of course there is the financial attraction and the potential to be chief provider but also males are more hardwired to seek out risk than females.
Agreed with this statement. Not everything has to sorted down, stereotypically.
Agreed, but I hope we do see a larger proportion of women coming into trading as it certinaly is male dominated but so many other sectors are to be fair. A poor relic of male-centric paradigms.
Good returns are the only thing that attracts everybody to trading.
I’m sure there must be a number of factors and reasons why there are so many men pursuing trading as a career.
