Are men good at trading?

I'm sure that some women are good and some aren't- just like men.

From a man's perspective I think women are good at trading.

Check out Linda Bradford Raschke.


Hope you don't mind the post on your thread.

Lol, mine was just a joke, i know that sex is no a factor that generally distinguish good traders from bad traders, but the fact that a woman brain (normal woman brains) use emotions to take every decision (this is a big disvantage in the trading world), let me think that technically women are not good at trading.

Hey, i'm looking it from a scientific prespective, but we know science is not everything.., anyway i see this thing.. funny

Are the markets rational or do they move by emotion?

Okay from experience woman that trade are generally better than men, less likely to get greedy and trade against there own rules, the few I've known have all been good trades and profitable, been teaching a girlie my system and took to trading in no time at all.

BUT...... This isn't saying woman in generally are better, there are very few female traders so its only the females which are able to think about trading which do it, where as men just try regardless why we fail so much.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

So, um, what are you wearing? :-)


So the ladies want to have a honest discussion and you want to take the thread this way??

When I have seen these kind of remarks posted, the ladies usually stop posting.

I am sure they can speak for themselves though.

PS. I use very few indicators.

The more I trade, the more I find out the markets are not rational and that I can make money by taking advantage of other traders irrational behavior.

So can you, you can do this by being more prepared then the other traders.

Best regards.

It's Friday, why so serious? I figured we would have some party pooper com in and take this view. I'm harmless - I'm behind a keyboard thousands of miles away from anyone to do any harm. No one takes me seriously anyway. Just having a little play on words. People around here get too serious too often. This is the lounge isn't it?

If the ladies want to post they'll post regardless. I'm sure they're not that thin-skinned. Besides, the original intent of this thread appeared to be nothing more than a roll call of women traders and not about a serious...

If you had a daughter or younger sister wanting to become a trader, would you talk to her that way?????

Yes tunera, the idea is that you stay rational so you can take advantge of someone else being irrational.

One way to think of it is like you are leading someone into a trap, or setting a trap for them.

I know I am being direct about this, however in almost every business you will find that the peson who is prepared takes it from the person who is not.


I hope you also do well in your trading.


Best regards,

Ehehe, i like the way you trade, i personally see the market as a rational and "rule-follower" entity, i just take profit from it's behaviors, no matter what other traders are doing (who cares about others!), anyway yes we can say that because market is wher buyers and sellers meet, the profits of good traders comes from losses of unexerienced ones, but the whole world work this way

Dale, there is nothing malicious about my posts. I've already made it obvious I am just having fun with words. Nothing explicit was written. I don't even know any of the women here. We're all anonymous. Why do you have to be such a thin-skinned sour puss?

And to answer your question, obviously I see nothing wrong with someone talking that way if my sister or daughter wanted to be a trader. I would have been alert enough to realize this thing was either harmless or easily ignored. Like I wrote, nothing explicit was written. Had I had an issue with it I wouldn't have posted that. Do you even know what the word fun means or know the meaning of the term playful? And why do you take it upon yourself to act as the protector of all women? It's people like you that I hate getting stuck talking to at a party.
