Romanians from the upper middle class are increasingly interested in becoming traders, being eager to learn how to trade on financial markets to multiply their long-term income. Their interest in trading increased 2 times in 2024 compared to last year, but only 2 out of 10 applicants are admitted to the trading training program. At the same time, the number of women interested in increasing long-term income is growing spectacularly, so that 25% of the participants in training programs in the field are women between the ages of 20 and 55, according to the data of the Trading Instituțional project, which owns the first trading floor in Romania founded by Rareș Gabriel Păun. According to international statistics, more than 90% of traders who enter the market constantly lose because they do not educate themselves in the field before trading, and only 10% have earnings and make a profit.

“Romanians are constantly analyzing how they can have financial security in the future, which is why they are increasingly exploring the trading activity suitable for increasing long-term income, over 5, 10 or 20 years. To become a successful trader and to obtain profits from the traded amounts, the interest of Romanians in entering a trading training program is at the highest level in recent years. The number of requests for learning in this field has doubled this year compared to 2023. But trading is not for everyone – it is important that those interested have financial stability and do not aim for unrealistic and short-term gains. The trading activity is at the beginning in Romania, and Romanians must know that it cannot be done without knowledge and training and that there are no overnight gains. Like any profession, to become a trader you need training programs in trading, with the difference that this activity can be done in parallel with your job or managing your own business”, explains Rareș Gabriel Păun, founder of Trading Instituțional, a training company in trading and owns the first trading floor in Romania.
