  2. The majority of women are the primary cooks at home.

    yet the world's best Chefs are all Men.

    And that goes for every other profession.

    I found women aren't necessarily "better" at trading. Men once they master trading, will usually net more.

    However if you give women a "system" that works, they're patient enough and smart enough to NOT deviate and try their own things with the "system".

  3. Women tend to have too much fear, as opposed to men, who tend to have too much greed.

  4. There is no market bias, both men and women can achieve success in this business.

    Cheers to all

  8. Women generally have more patience,will go with a trend rather than try and fight it and aren't trying to impress their mates all the time trying to be the bigshot of the office.

  9. Women and men have gut instincts. Women will pay attention to their instincts and are more in tune to them than men. Assuming equal knowledge between men and women, a woman may not walk down the dark street because she has been conditioned through other unrelated experiences in life to pay attention to what her gut tells her what decision to make.

    Men brush off those feelings, "it's just my imagination" no it's not, somewhere in the psyche, every past experience has come into play for this feeling to surface.
