Get expert insight into why female traders are often more successful when trading financial markets than male traders.
The sharemarket is an ‘equal opportunity’ employer. You'll be rewarded in direct proportion to the effort that you expend and the skills you develop.
There is no such thing as a ‘born trader’. Every principle of trading is learned.

Welcome Kate…
