Is forex mainly occupied by male traders?

Anyone has a rough figure on male & female trader percentage?

I open this thread is for female traders like myself to be here & discuss forex trading.

All female traders, we can share things here.

Please feel free to do your posting

Hm, something like, the shoes were not so expensive as I thought so is it a good idea to buy some aussie with the money left?

Yes, I know, it wasn't very gentlemanly from my apart to bring the clothes into discussion but I don't understand what the women can talk about forex and pertains to them only. The market orders don't have a special attachement identifying the sex of the trader so it doesn't make any sense for 2 or more women to discuss strategies separately from the men's herd.

Whatever. Maybe she just needs to hear from another gal. Trading can be a lonely business. I have taught forex strategies for 3+ years and I can tell you that at least half of my classes are women. I think there may be more females on ff than you think, but they may be disguising that fact to avoid being bugged by lonely guys!

Well sauron you just epitomised the attitude that destroyed the last thread for female traders which was successful for a while. If men were in the minority I reckon you might be upset if you received that kind of response to a perfectly legitimate idea.

graceheather you are right to think there is a high majority of male traders on here. I think if you were to pm Patience she would have an insight into what happened to the last effort and whether it's worthwhile.
Gone to a better place

Sauron gave the reason why graceheather is looking for a female-only thread. Talk about sexist comments.

Graceheather unfortunately this is a male dominated industry and forum. I can only imagine one of the reasons for a female thread is to avoid all the sexist comments, pictures, and video that plague these forums. I see it often usually in the EURUSD, GBPUSD, GBPJPY threads ... some of the most blatant sexist comment and media being posted on a regular basis.

It is normal when some women gather in a place or forum to discuss about some things which are uninteresting or boring to men. Nothing wrong about that.
Trading is unisex. Like mathematics or physics. I didn't hear about a "women approach to e=mc2" or about a group of women who tried to find a womanly solution to Fermat's last theorem.
My remark was not sexist at all, I've just said what I think about a woman-only topic regarding technical matters on a forum where 80%+ are men.

Your post is valid, but you should have expected those type of replies. It's also a little funny because stereotypes often have a little truth to them, and also because people are so quick to jump to the offensive interpretation. This kind of thread is intended as a group hug rather than serious trading discussion. If someone is serious, gender should be irrelevant, and therefore a gender-specific thread is not a serious thread.

Actually, I haven't shopped for shoes in a few years (and no, I don't "like girls"). I put my cash into my account for trading. I trade the trend on a 4H chart. I've been through all of the forex hoopla: EA's, scalping, candleshtick patterns (sic), holy grails...and finally found my niche.

Like I said...there are probably 50% or more females in my classes. There may be more female traders than males for all I know...they just don't yak about it as much as the guys. Heck, I read somewhere that "housewives" in some Asian countries make the bulk of the family income by trading forex at home.

If 10.000 asian housewives trade forex there's a safe bet that maybe 100 of them are profitable. And you read about about these 100 in newspapers and nothing about 9900 who probably lost their family income.
Don't panic, the males are not doing better.

In every other business or profession, it is also the top few percentile that are doing fantastic.

This is just how the world works.

There are millions of social networking websites, but how many Facebook & friendster are there?

There are millions of investors, but how many WarrenBuffett & George Soros.

The important thing is that we must strive to be one of the top few percentile in everything we do.
