What demographics is most likely to lose in trading?


#1 Women/Female

Women are the worst traders ever! However, there are 2 kinds of women: Dyke and barbie doll women. Dyke is most likely to become a successful trader than a barbie doll women. Dyke has balls to trade large quantities.

#2 Age 18-30 years old

In this group, they are proud to become an adult. They are proud not to live at home with their parent. They are not married or are in the process of getting marry and will do anything to have fun (bars, nightclub vegas, drugs, etc etc etc). They have limited income and look at trading as gambling. These people will most likely to start trading less than $5000. Can't blame them due to limited income.

#3 Blue Collar workers

In this group, most of them do not have college degree. These group falls in the lower middleclass and lower class. Blue collar define as:

A blue-collar worker is a member of the working class who typically performs manual labor and earns an hourly wage. Blue-collar workers are distinguished from those in the service sector

Majority of this group search for the holy grail system through google search.

#4 Age 65 years old and up

In this group, they are retired after 40 years of working and looking to have fun (enjoy life). Majority of this group are the victim of getting scam by the 3rd party educational vendors.

#5 Age 30-55 years old

In this group, most are in the process of changing career and look at trading as get rich quick after reading many books like soros, warren buffet, etc, etc. They dream of sending their kids to havard. They dream of owning a yacht. They dream of trading at home instead of working at an office. However, it is this group has a higher chance of becoming a successful traders vs others above. They are matured.


I am looking for a good answer. Bring them up!!

wow this has the potential to create some angry people!! :-)

my vote is #2 Age 18-30 years old for the exact reasons you described. they are gambling hoping to hit it big ...and will most likely end up losing. if they aren't 'trading', they are betting on sports, playing online poker, or spending time in casinos.

I wanted to post a response to this thread but I really don't even know where to begin...

How about...do you have any data or studies to back up such a claims, emg?...particularly the section on women? That was pretty low, to say the least.

I don't think it matters. As much as any member of a particular demographic wishes to believe that there is another group more likely to lose money than theirs, it really doesn't matter. There may be a slight skew at any given time but really there are plenty of trading losers in all walks of life. I actually disagree about women. If they were more inclined to try trading, actually many may do pretty well. Take a look at females in school. Always work hard, prepare well and have little ego. Of course this is general but I would say it's more prevalent in women.

First the women had ever worked hard more of man because we further works had family childs and all concern the house family organization.but in trading i don't care that is a sexual or demographic factor,all know that the 90% of traders are looser.maybe.its hard fight whit who made the market. after come the istitutional world and banks and we know the rest 5%that win because applied to trading pshichological ,technical and fundamental path and respect for him/herself and other.without care to discriminate none to apart for gender,age or other.second the profitable trader are more humble and its very difficult that wrote in a forum ,i'm strong i'm very profitable,and i'm the unic bla bla bla.

Ahimsa,

I understand why it might upset you somewhat if someone were to insinuate that women are somehow inferior traders, but don't you think it might be an important idea to explore? On a purely prejudiced level, I think the question has little relevance, but from an intellectual standpoint it's a good question. The way women are naturally and the way women develop based on environmental interactions is clearly very different to men. There must be some useful studies out there on this that actually could help us all to better understand ourselves as traders.

Add drinking, eating like a champ, and a bunch of loose women and you have paradise.
