The Contest "Ladies versus Gentlemen" [FINISHED]

[MT5 Administrator]

As back as XVIII century women started fighting actively for rights equality with the sterner sex and they have been still trying to prove that any men’s job can be done by a woman as well. A decade away back trader’s profession was considered as for men only, but now it is successfully apperceived by women. However, a dispute concerning who is better in trading - men or women does not fade away so far. Men insist that their logical thinking is an inborn aspiration for superiority and risk addiction come as inseparable qualities of an auspicious trader. Ladies respond that for beneficial trading it is much more important to have an evolved intuition, patience and discipline which they obtained inherently.

MT5 Forum offers to draw a line in this everlasting dispute. We invite our beautiful forum-ladies to try conclusions with the opposite sex and assert their right to be called successful traders, and male forum participants are invited to prove that they are really first-ever!
