Why are there fewer female traders?
Lori believes there are fewer women traders because many women tend to avoid risk, which is inherent in trading. She contrasts this with their own experience, noting that while they generally avoid physical risks, they are comfortable with business risks, which she personally attributes to having more "testosterone" than most women. Despite the risk aversion, Lori suggests that women can bring valuable perspectives to trading and can be as good, if not better, than some male traders.
