As you may have noticed as you went through the steps, trading currencies needs a lot of patience and time. You need to give the market time to move and the currency pairs time to dance! That is why trading forex is perfect for someone who is busy doing a lot of other things at the same time, which is true of many women. Once you have confirmed all the points of the Invest Diva Diamond about a specific market movement, all you have to do is wait and let the markets do their job. You can wait for the markets to move while doing stuff like, but not limited to:

  1. – Waiting for your nail polish to dry
  2. – Waiting for your lasagna to finish baking
  3. Working in the office
  4. – Pumping milk for your baby
