Not bad...but now a days you can get 50 Mb/s and up (thru cable and fiber)...xDSL is old indeed with a < 20 Mb/s norm

Internet speed does not affect trading. Amounts of data are so low when trading that even from Zambia, which is last in the list, would be about the same for executing orders. It has mainly to do with the broker. How fast their servers are and how loaded at the time you execute your order.

And on a fast moving market, I have not as yet seen a broker with fast execution time.

Yes i agree, but an intermittent connection is dangerous and these figures just give a rough idea of average connection quality.

You should rather say bucket shops.
Real ECNs do execute fast, even during news and market crash.

what about the taxes in portugal?

I thought it would be in Europe or in Asia. In both of those places, you can catch at least 2 active Forex markets, the European and NA one.

Me too!! Always one hour ahead of the London market. My dream place is by the Blue Coast! Living in a villa in the mountains, waking up to the sound of the ocean, trading everyday facing the blue sea...

Either you call it Cote D'Azur or French Riviera. Very important to know the names of the regions where you want to live.

whoever said canada has lost their freaking mind.

way too cold in the winter.

can't believe how SLOW China's speed is.

The pic with the girls drinking beer was taken in Munich, Germany!!!
(The name on the beer mugs is a brewery in Munich)

Tick is the way to go...!!!

Anyone have an opinion on Cartagena Columbia??

The best location to trade from of course depends on your system and what markets you trade. Our capital base is corporate US/Caribbean, our brokers are all Swiss/UK;and our focus is London/Frankfurt session.. where most liquidity is based, so for me the best location is Spain. Including the Canary Islands and Balearic s. Accommodation /office costs are very low (and falling fast) thanks to the property collapse and fixed and mobile broadband (as backup) is cheap and reliable.
If you keep everything legal and above board, nobody will bother you. Crime is low, and personal rights and safety, high. You have the legal protections of the ECHR, and a European democracy, and if you trade London/Frankfurt you can get up an hour later!! LoL.
By far the best location IMHO.. having traded from both sides of the "pond"

Equal Alternatives .. Portugal
Exotic alternatives .. Morocco/South Africa??

Point is.. CET is great location for European London markets, and Spain a good place to start.

Your the second Forex Trader to cheer for the Balearic Islands, in here.

Are they semi independant?
What are the taxes like, now that Spain is into the EU "Austerity" program?
Going up, or down?

there is an asian country who has English as 1st language, and meets most of the criteria as well as a very very low tax rate : Singapore. Your kids will speak English/Chinese which are two most used languages.

1 - Great weather and scenery (preferably tropical or mountains) -No, flat summer for whole year, small city nothing much to see
2 - Inexpensive living - best bang for the buck etc. -Not bad, only house n car is expensive
3 - Good schools (for our kids) -Yes
4 - Safe for Americans / foreigners etc. -Yes
5 - English is prevalent thus making it easy to get around (if outside of the US) -Yes
6 - Low crime -Yes
7 - Hight speed internet available (this is a MUST) -Yes, fibre network is available
8 - ....anything else you can think of. -Already mentioned above, plus if you r part time, NY open is 9pm, LONDON close is 0AM, you have best trading hours in the planet

cyprus,it costs about 35 000 euroes to buy a citizenship and very low tax rates about 20% on cg i think or lesser ,if i ever get rich ill move there,nd sail along the greek islands,sure looks promising

why cyprus?,well a place where many rich hide their money from taxes and also very beatiful,if they can do it,so will i find ways too

and whys everyone thinking of asia and south america ,its dangerous to live there ,theres lots of scammers there.try places like australia if ur thinking about ur kids future,cyprus as a beatiful summer hideout spot from taxes ,

could anyone add any safe heaven countries for taxes?

a good think would be being a citizen of cyprus and traveling through spain,greece,italy all those lively places,fast travel too,u can even sail from one to another

Check out the rank and then choose the one, where your other criteria are met.

I would prefer Australia (rank 4), because of weather.
