The rise of the female trader

Being a mother can be incredibly hard work, and trying to fit even the shortest activity into a busy schedule can be tricky.

Trading can make earning money and raising a child come to life

Many mothers who work in full-time or part-time jobs often find that with childcare, they don’t have the time to do anything else, especially something which could net them additional income.

Most people think that working mothers are in roles like nursing and administration, but for a growing number of women making sizeable profits from trading the markets, they’ve managed to dispel this stereotype.

Trading was often seen as the preserve of men, but as this infographic supplied by City Index shows, there has been a massive increase in the number of women traders, and the level of success which some of them have achieved has been astonishing.
