Trading Club

Trading can be a lonely business whether you trade for a living or whether you are a part time trader. The Fortune Trading Club brings traders together in a team effort every week to trade, exchange notes and work collectively towards a common goal.

In this friendly, convivial atmosphere, there is much to look forward to apart from camaraderie and an enjoyable meet up. Under the guidance of a senior trader, students, old and new, study the charts, analyze the markets, examine various strategies and make live trades. There is a general consensus that by working together and pooling the strengths of the group, they have a consistent record.

Women Have a Leg-Up in Trading

Look How Far We Have Come

Many changes have taken place since the days when trading was only permitted within an institutional trading room or floor. Now, individual investors of all kinds can analyze, trade and invest from the comfort of their own homes using personal computers. Although trading is often thought to be a male-dominated activity, there are many signs pointing to the fact that women may actually have a unique advantage in the trading world.

How Women’s Trading Styles Differ from Men’s

Women and men are very different from one another in the ways in which they approach trading. Although these are generalizations and no two women or men are the same, many studies have discovered the following key characteristics of male and female traders:

Use Your Womanly Nature to your Advantage

Even though you may not match the list above exactly, perhaps even one or two points apply to your trading style. As a woman, your personal characteristics and natural tendencies can actually be used to your advantage on the trading floor. Women’s methodical and careful approach to trading is what leads them to gather as much information as possible so that they can analyze and make sense of it all before making a move. Their curiosity makes them excellent students who view trading as an adventure, an experience, and a long term project.

Men on the other hand, look for fast answers and tend to resent the analytical part of trading. Men are known to make moves quickly, sometimes with little indication of a favorable outcome. Male traders have a hasty nature about them and view the market as something to be mastered or conquered.

One Can Learn from the Other

Women and men can each learn something from one another. A major finding throughout a wide range of studies has indicated that in many cases women are ‘trigger shy’ and can have a hard time finally biting the bullet to get in the game. On the contrary, male traders often show patterns of spontaneous and sometimes even careless trading activity, not quite demonstrating enough premeditated thought. One can surely learn from the other, as both genders bring key qualities to the trading table.

Communication is Key

In their personal lives, women are often criticized for their incessant need to "talk" about everything, but studies have shown that in the world of trading, women’s desires to discuss their analyses, trades and strategies may actually have a positive effect on their learning and trading.

The art of trading cannot be learned entirely from reading books, analyzing charts, and crunching numbers. There is enormous value to be gained from capitalizing on the experiences of others. Discussing ideas, talking about past mistakes and triumphs, and picking the brains of seasoned traders can have a huge impact on the way you trade.

It is through open and shameless communication that many women are able to advance their trading careers faster than their male counterparts who prefer to stay guarded.
