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 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 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. When I started sharing it online, hundreds of women sent me the same message: "I didn't think this was for someone like me."

I looked for a women-only trading community to send them to. It didn't exist. So I built one.
