相对于男性而言，当前女性交易证券的数量更少。幸运的是，这一切都在发生改变。女性对自己的投资拥有越来越多的控制权，并且敢于进入一向由男性主导的金融市场。一些公司比如Orbex以及 FX Street已经认识到了这一点，并帮助女性提高了参与金融交易的意识，女性参加金融交易的途径也越来越多。
人们对于女性参与金融市场的交易仍然有很多错误观点，比如，为什么没有很多女性经商。
下面是关于女性的证券交易的6大常见误解。
1) 女性不交易有价证券
关于女性进入金融的最大误解来源于人们的情感：金融以及财富管理不是女性擅长的。这与科技领域十分相似，女性成为金融领域交易者或者是领导者是很少被认可的。因此，我们就倾向于猜测女性对金融领域既不感兴趣也不了解，因此，她们也就不交易。
事实上是，女性做交易，并且女性交易者的数量以每年2%的速度增长。这是一个缓慢却稳定的增长趋势，没有任何的止步迹象。尽管数量少，但是她们确实在交易。
2) 她们不盈利
证券交易是存在风险的。没有交易圣杯，也没有神奇的公式，然而却存在分析市场的方法，你可以基于对市场的分析做交易。女性用于分析市场的平均时间大于男性，并且会抽出时间进行必要的学习，这在她们的交易成果中可以看出。女性投资的俱乐部通常比男性投资的俱乐部盈利大5%左右。
3) 女性对证券以及金融不感兴趣
由于女性不常出入于证券等金融交易市场，所以，通常认为她们对金融不感兴趣。在前几年，金融市场的相关知识仅限于男性居多的大学以及专科学校。现在，网络可以允许任何人学校证券交易或金融，因此，女性也越来越多地参与进来。同时，随着女性每年2%的速度增长，女性对金融不感兴趣的命题已经站不住脚。
4) 只有那些在经纪商部门以及大的金融机构工作的女性才交易
与通常的认识相反，许多交易外汇的女性已经将交易当作全职工作。她们不需要进入大的金融机构工作，也不是正式的接受训练的专家。她们从网络上学习在线交易，应用她们的知识并可以在自己舒适的家里成功地进行交易。
5) 觉得部分交易是依靠幸运或者是感觉
一个主要原因是女性证券交易的信心水平有良好的记录。尽管人们发现男性更倾向于快速、频繁交易，但是女性却 会进行更多的学习，寻找更多的信息，在交易之前会认真考虑。她们凭借第六感交易的几率非常小，这就使得她们对于风险的承受力相对弱并且更倾向于轻仓交易。
6) 在危机来临的时候，她们的交易会更糟
通常，人们认为女性是感性的，而男性则更加理性。因此，当危机来临的时候，女性会更加紧张因而做出错误交易决定，尤其是，金融方面会导致各种灾难性的后果。现实中，金融业务展现了另外一个不同的故事：德国的Commdierct银行进行一项50万份的投资组合调查显示，女性的交易表现比男性高 4% - 6%。
尽管女性正在缓慢地沿着金融阶梯向上爬，但是她们的步伐是稳定的。Orbex的最近的调查得到了许多网站的支持，诸如FX Street, Forex Magnates, Invest Diva’s Kiana Danial等等，它们都对女性交易者的的上升表示鼓励。
6 Myths About Women Traders
There are currently very few women in securities trading compared to their male counterparts. Fortunately, that’s all changing. Women are taking more control of their investment decisions and are daring to enter the financial markets that have been known to be male-dominated. Pushing for change, certain companies such as Orbex and FX Street are recognising and raising the awareness of women in finance, and as a result, the path for women wishing to enter the field is widening.
There are still some misconceptions when it comes to women and finance, especially regarding why there aren’t many in the business to begin with.
Here are 6 most common myths about women and security trading.
1) Women don’t trade securities
The biggest myths regarding women in finance, generally come from the sentiment that trading, finance and wealth management are ‘not a woman thing’. Much like in science and technology, a discourse of women in finance as either traders or leaders is seldom acknowledged. As a result, we tend to assume that women both don’t take any interest or know anything about finance, and thus don’t trade.
The truth is, however, that women do trade. In fact, there are approximately 2% more women traders every year. This is a slow but steady trend that doesn’t show any signs of stopping. They are out there, albeit still in small numbers.
2) They don’t make money
Securities trading is risky. There is no holy grail to it, nor a magic formula, however there ways to analyse the markets and conduct trades based on those analyses. Women spend, on average, more time than men doing the analyses and acquiring the necessary education, which is often seen in their performance. All female investment clubs outperformed all male investment club by a staggering 5%.
3) Women aren’t interested in securities trading and finance
Since women are not that well represented in the securities trading industry and finance in general, it is often believed that this isn’t something women are interested in. In the previous years, the knowledge of the financial markets was constricted to Universities and specialised schools which were mostly attended by men. Nowadays however, the internet allows anyone to learn securities trading or finance which leads more and more women to be involved. In addition, with the female trading population rising by 2% annually, the myth that women aren’t interested in trading is not reflective of reality.
4) Only those who work for brokers or large financial institution trade
Contrary to the popular belief, many women who trade, especially in Forex, have made trading their full time job. They don’t necessarily work for large financial institutions, nor are formally trained financial professionals. There are many female traders who have learned the art of trading online, applied their knowledge and are successfully trading from the comfort of their home.
5) Most trade on luck or feeling
One of the main reasons women have a better track record in securities trading is their confidence levels. While men have been found to be more prone to making trades quicker and more frequently, women tend to study a lot more, seek information and think twice before trading. They are least likely to trade on gut feeling, which makes them less risk tolerant and less prone to overtrading.
6) They tend to do worse in crisis
Women are often thought to be emotional, while men are thought to be more rational. As a result, when it comes to crisis, it is often believed that women would panic more and make worse decisions, especially so in finance, resulting in all kinds of disastrous results. In reality, the financial business speaks of a different story.
In a study conducted by German Comdirect Bank and the DAB, a sample of about 500K portfolios found that during the 2007 and especially the crisis year of 2008, women on average did 4% - 6% better than men.
Although women are slowly making their way up the financial ladder, the movement is steady. The recent campaign launch by Orbex has gathered many supporters, such as FX Street, Forex Magnates, Invest Diva’s Kiana Danial, among many others, and shows keenness to support and encourage the rise of the female trader.
