The Real Reason I’m a Trader

I'm not a mud-crawling kinda girl.

When I was in year 10, my whole year group got carted off to a huge Career Expo in the hope that we would all magically discover the job we were destined for. As I walked around, I was drawn to nothing.  Well, not nothing exactly, there were lots of handsome private school boys to …
