A Man's Game?
Brokerage house records indicate that most traders are male. The files of my firm, Elder.com, confirm that approximately 85 to 90 percent of traders are male The percentage of women traders among my clients, however, has more than doubled since the original edition of Trading for a Living was written twenty years ago.
The English language being what it is, "he" flows better than "he or she" or jumping between the two pronouns. To make reading easier, I'll use the masculine pronoun throughout this book. Of course, no disrespect is Intended to the many women traders
As a matter of fact, I find that the percentage of successful traders is higher among women. As a group, they tend to be more disciplined and less arrogant than men.
