If there is any woman I admire her trading strategies in the forex world, that woman is going to be Valeria Bendnarik.

Valeria Bendnarik has been an active trader since 2003,specializing in the international Foreign Exchange Market. She also graduated in the Universidad Catolica del Salvador, in Argentina, as a Public Account, specializing in financial and cost management. She currently works as chief analyst for Fxstreet.com and through her own company, manages an important clients portfolio for Fxsolutions, also training new traders around the world. My favorite quote of Valeria Bendnarik is: “I win, I lose, it’s my job….And I love it.

After 20 years in Accountancy, Valeria Bendnarik left her job to dedicate herself to trading. She had invested in what finally was a Ponzi scheme that left 11,000 victims in South America. So she learnt her lessons and decided she could only be serious about it. After a couple of years studying and teaching through two different companies in Argentina, Valeria decided to trade from home, where she now raises her two little daughters.

About differences between genders, Valeria believes women actually have qualities –like rigorousness and humility that can make them more successful traders than men. That being said, she recognizes that in the end “market does not know my gender (or) if I study or not, if I plan my trading and follow a strategy or just bet.’’

When she was interviewed by Fxtradermagazine.com on her favorite technical indicators and how she use’s them she said, “I stick to a couple of Moving averages, Momentum, CCI and RSI to draw her trading map. With those tools, I have a general technical perspective for almost any possible time frame as I have adjusted some to be triggers, some to be filters, and I noticed that certain pairs work better with some rather than with others. That’s my basic frame and I usually add trend lines, or Fibonacci retracements. I stick to that, thus I always have an extra chart, where I’m testing other stuff. I guess the day I will stop studying is the day I’II be dead. Knowledge is the base of success, and more than this knowing ourselves, our weaknesses and strengths is fundamental for me.
