No, I took two months off from my normal life. It was great to not do any work at all, just enjoy my family and Thailand. The boys and wife absolutely love the place. As for me, it was my 18th time in the last 13 years. I've spent 8 weeks in the US since 1999. In the same period I've spent 16 months in Thailand. No question which place I prefer.
Nice. I've never been but Thailand definitely high on the list of where I'd like to explore. Feeling the itch pretty bad. Cheers.

We rented a house and it had an ADSL line. It always seemed to work when we wanted to use it.

Thanks for sharing! I've always wanted to visit Thailand, everyone always raves about it. As a recent raw food vegan (80%) I'd love all the fresh fruit they have available. I hope to make it out there one day.

I spent two years living at the beach and I can't stand warm weather any more. I get sick from the ocean and sand and blue water. I love snow, mountains.

I'd love to go to Norway or Sweden, a perfect place to live. But news told us a month a go, not so a safe place for children.
I found a penny today. That's +100 pips for me.

After reading through the 1st post, I think the best place for me is Singapore.

I think the civilization is perfect for foreigner. The time zone is perfect too.

Also it's near Philippine, Thailand, Malaysia, or Bali. Just spend an extra cash if you want a vacation in there.

Moving to West Coast, at least part time.
So I have a question to West Coast traders.
Anyone explored other markets....futures.....or......?

Idea of waking up at midnight to trade, is not something I look forward to.
its hard to do.. I live in San Diego

I recommend learning to swing and position trade if u have a wife or a family or a dayjob...

I have a few friends who trade heavily in commods and E-minis though

Most west coasters wont touch this Eurotrash as daytraders unless they are vampires

Thanks Wulfgar, yes I got a family and don't think they will be too happy with me turning into Dracula.
Will look into commodities and E-minis.
Just as forex started to come together for me too.
Don't know much about other markets. Assuming there is a live charts for futures and E-minis too.
Will explore it. Google to the rescue......

Don't stress, if there's a will there's a way. Prime time for trading the euro gbp and pretty much all western hemisphere currencies is London-NY. That gives you a 14-hour window to find some pips. Arguably the best of it is the London/NY overlap to NY lunch - around 5AM to 10AM PST. I like to catch the NY close, too sometimes, and that coincides with the Wellington-Sydney open. If the day has been volatile it more than likely will follow through to Asia, so you can make good pips from Sydney into the first hour of Tokyo. There's plenty of room to carve out a daytrading niche in all of that and still have a m/l normal sleep life while its dark outside.

There are good reasons to trade index and comm futures but they are not necessarily related to the clock.

i'm thai. i live in bangkok. i have been to phuket. things in phuket is more expensive than bangkok about double or triple, these price are especially for forienger. even you are holding any currency it's still cost you more than than you expected.

if you are trading in thailand. the best time is afternoon and early at night, the most active time is about 7pm at night (US time). afternoon is london time.

Yeah, I know. Just needed to grumble a little, I guess.

Los Angeles is not my favorite city, but .....long story.

Will look into futures anyway, it sounds interesting.

No experience of this personally, but I believe vpn subscriptions are a solution when not using land-based internet.

http://www.howstuffworks.com/vpn.htm
I travelled for almost 3mo last year (Thailand mostly) while trading through a tablet and VPN connection. You can buy cheap data SIM cards in most countries. Change your VPN password regularly and obviously password protect your tablet. Also, don't save the password, enter it every time and don't use something stupid like "password123"..."xc_31jJkulX_$" is a waaaaaaaay better password. Taking a couple of minutes to memorize it is well worth it

The last precaution I took was to note down the support contact details for both my broker and VPN provider. If someone had stolen my tablet I would simply give them a call and have them block access immediately.

In fact, even when stationary I tend to trade using a tablet 99% of the time. Works like a charm. You could take it to an extreme and simply never register in any country...just move once your tourist visa expires. Obviously you can't travel forever (well, you can...but the wife/gf probably won't like that eventually) but it's a great way to evade taxes. Of course if you're a US citizen you're screwed either way as they force you to pay taxes even if abroad. Being Swiss I don't have that problem

I would prefer to trade from Dubai.

It is now unbelievable. In 20 years it would be Awesome!!!
Having lived in Dubai for almost 2 years I have to say that the initial euphoria changes into dread after 1-2 years. Try ordering a pizza...good luck if you don't speak Arabic or Indian. Or try dodging the horrible traffic.

If you're single it's great though for 1-2yrs...I just missed the color green after a while and got bored of the endless clubbing/bars. Also, since most people move there because of the money, it tends to attract the "wrong" kind of people...a ton of them are very very shallow.
