Three years ago, I was carrying golf bags for tips at a course in Florida. I knew that wasn't going to be my life forever. When I found trading, I went all in, and I lost money for a year straight.
I joined every community I could find. In almost all of them, I was the only woman in the room. I asked questions and got laughed at. I sat at my desk after bad sessions wondering if I was even cut out for this.
I didn't quit. I got profitable. Then I spent six months building my own strategy from scratch, because nothing out there was built for someone like me, for a real life, with a real schedule.
