Slartibartfast gets the "hit the nail on the head" award. It's not as shiny as the award for designing Norway, but still...
Not sure gender has anything to do with trading but were you informed by another female. They also say females make better drivers...
I have been daytrading stocks for 7 years, 6 of them full time. DM me if u want to chat. Im not a mentor or coach or anything like that but if u need help i can refer you to some interesting resources. Cya
You have a plus and a minus! Women make better traders. Engineers and pilots make bad traders. Only kidding but there is a slight tendency there. Lots of reasons. I have traded professionally full time for over 25 years. I am a woman. I hate getting into arguments with all the know it all's out there who will ask "How many successful trading women do you know?" Linda Raschke. Good luck. Keep fighting. You will be able to semi-retire at 50.
Thank you Linda. It is nice to finally hear from a woman! I googled your name. You have a nice setup going with all your monitors. I trade with just my laptop. But what an inspiration! I think it was way more difficult to start trading 25 yrs ago than it is today. Congratulations for making it. I hope to retire by 35. 50 seems like a long time if things are done right. But we shall see. What instruments do you trade?
If you really want to learn and share trading ideas, you may want to PM stepandfatchit for guidance. He has been generally very helpful, very knowledgeable and is from the SoCal area. Traders tend to be loners, like poker players. I quit my day job in 2000 and have been trading alone since. I don't mind sharing ideas, being helpful whenever I can, but only in an anonymous forum like ET where no one needs to know how good or how bad a trader I am. Regards,
