It was roughly one year ago, November 2015, that I began my daytrading for the second time with small amounts of money. I was still struggling to figure out the best trading strategy. At this time I also read the book Momo Traders and it inspired me to then work on reaching out to more women about trading.
I realized at that time, there are not many women traders out there to help encourage women to be active traders. So I began working on a book about female traders. Hopefully this will be coming out early 2017 and I will of course keep you informed. There are definitely female traders but not many that want to break down the mental barriers to help others succeed at trading.
I felt the best way to help others is to share my experience along the way and that is what the Women Empowering Women Seminar by Trade Ideas was all about this past weekend. You can view the full recording here Literally I started as an aspiring day trader in my basement office not knowing much and now I’m honored to help inspire others.
It was roughly one year ago when I opened my Twitter account and I went to my husband….Look Honey I have 10 followers. As I began sharing and blogging and tweeting everything grew. I began with Twitter and then people started asking questions, so I began sharing and I thought a blog is an efficient way to answer the questions that I received from multiple people in one forum.
Thus this blog was born and created to share to answer questions that I receive often. This past September I went to the Trader and Investors Summit and was honored by Timothy Sykes with my success thus far as a female trader. My hubby is a big YouTube fan and so I began doing my weekly video about my week in review and answering more questions as well. Slowly as more questions come in I try to film the answers. I also want to share the real point of view not the shiny happy everything is great trading view.
My openess to share my journey led me to being the keynote speaker at the event sponsored by Trade Ideas. It was an absolute honor to share my journey that has been just a year so far. I have big visions for helping more women put the fear aside as far as learning how to trade.
The biggest hurdles in acheiving any dream is the one you present in your mind. Once you put your fear aside and start putting your energy towards your goals and dreams you see you future changing before your eyes. Day by day all the efforts you put out create your new future. Before you know it you have changed your life to be living your dream as reality.

Hello! I’m so happy to have found your blog! I’ve spent the day watching the entire seminar and reading over your posts, and I’m truly inspired. I am 9 months pregnant with my second. I have a 3 year old and I own a small business. I just stopped working in the business and want to find ways to take more control of my earnings. Basically work smarter, have more flexibility with my growing family, and not have to be stuck in the hamsters wheel that I’ve been in. While on maternity leave I’ve already opened a paper trading think or swim account, and my husband is planning to help me navigate this intimidating new world. I’m considering trading commodities and learning how to do options trades. Do you have any advice about that? Do you have any resources? Anything would be greatly appreciated! I’m going to continue to follow all of your posts, and i can’t wait until your book is completed!
Much success to you!
