Infiltrating the Traders Community Forbidden to Men: The FX Women's Section (Episode 2)

Despite being prohibited for men, and currently expanding its membership nationwide, we infiltrate the women-only FX community "FX Joshi-bu" (FX Women’s Club). In FX Joshi-bu, women can share information unique to female FX investing, including approaches and mindsets, as well as various life-related concerns. Continuing from last time, we bring you interviews with members of this secret garden, the FX Joshi-bu.

Three people’s normal trading styles

Editor: This time we’ll talk with Yoranda, Natsu, and Aiai. First, please introduce yourself, the currency pairs you trade, and your methods. Let’s start with Yoranda, who has the longest trading history.

YorandaI have 11 years of investing experience. For the first nine years I was a part-timer. I worked as a bank employee, but FX had no direct connection to my job. However, I was interested in economic news, and since FX didn't have a reporting obligation to my company like stock trading, I started it. I love traveling abroad, and familiarity with the dollar-yen pair was one of the reasons I got started. I quit my job last year and am now a full-time trader. For my study methods, I attended a school. Now I use methods I learned there and from dozens of books, adapted in my own way.

Editor: What kind of methods and timeframes do you trade?
