Best place in the world to trade from?

I'm Canadian and I moved to SE Asia a little while ago for trading (and the weather of course). I moved first to Singapore but man is that city boring! I moved to Bangkok about a year ago and so far I've had a great time. It is not so cheap if you want to live a good life but not so expensive either (you can do great on 5000-6000 USD a month, more is of course recommended), internet access is certainly ok for trading, girls are hot, weather is great, food is great, the city is very well connected by air to almost everywhere in the world (I travel a lot) and you are only a very short flight away from some of the best beaches in the world. My trading is all corporate and based offshore so no taxes anywhere I go and the sale tax here is only about 7%.

All in all I do recommend Bangkok to anyone who likes to party, eat great Asian food and loves warm (very) weather.

I second that...if you have the choice between boring Singapore and Bangkok, go with Bangkok. Also, you don't get lashes for spray painting stuff

The US is great, but I'm in the midwest so i hate the cold. If I could, i would love to move to the southwest (AZ, NM, southern cali)

I like medium sized towns- big enough to have all perks without the big city traffic. And of course warm weather all year long.

Best to live among the blue collars in my opinion.

Here is a suggestion...KENYA-Nairobi that is.

You get the European open time at 10am and Us open at 4pm..do the math
Great weather all year round.
Living is inexpensive with the dollar.
Good schools due to the large number of expatriates, UN HQ as well as many other Organizations such as USAID etc etc
Safe for Americans and anyone else.
English is totally prevalent
Crime......relatively normal compared to any city in the world
High speed internet-very available
A lot of expatriates from all over the world.You can easily connect with your country men and women.
Office space is not an issue, real estate boom has improved a lot on the infrastructure and amenities.

The best place to trade in my opinion is a decent civilized country and in a timezone that better matches human natural daily cycle.

Perth Australia would be the perfect place for me. I plan to move there in one year or so. London starts around 3 PM there.

Brazil would be another option. In Sao Paulo state London starts at 5 or 6 AM . Not bad.
So, you think you have rights? LOL

Spot on... Beautiful place as well...

Sydney is better though, just the timezone is a little un social.

If you want a roommate in a year, look me up. And no I am not a female, unfortunately for you!

LOL, thanks I'm happily married.

Without living there, Perth seems less crazy than Sydney, and AHHHH ! The timezone!

I'm in CZ. Contemplating Malta myself. I have heard Croatia allows to get foreign capital gains tax free but could not find any proof in official tax bulletins. I have a question about Malta (been there for a week few years ago): can you drive there from Sicily, i.e. is there a ferry that will allow to move a car over the channel? I know there are passenger ferries but not sure about car ferries. If you need to live confined on such a small island it can get depressing (with all those Brits coming daily while and leaving daily purple lol), but if you can escape for a weekend with a car to the continent it should not be a problem at all. Flight connection is great and reasonably priced but nothing beat a great drive.

I am seriously contemplating buying a yacht to live aboard at least part time, but with a kid coming up one need to think about schooling and some sort of a base location. CZ is not serious about education as well.

Come to Singapore, no tax on capital gain. Safest place on earth and if you have money you have everything here as long as you follow the laws.

I was going to say that. Singapore is absolutely the best place to trade Forex. The most perfect timezone to capture the most active market. Not only the safest but the most friendly place on earth to live. English is common language. And now I know that there is even no tax on capital gains!!! OMG!!! What does the government live on over there?

If only hubby is willing to move there...

High taxation, pro-socialistic (?) government and nearly impossible to get a permit, unless you invest 3 000 000 A$ into Aussie rural economy. But definitely on my visit list, amazing country.

I love Singapore! But I love active sports, country side, driving. In Singapore the only way to get away from the city is to drive to Malaysia. Technically ok, but not sure if I would want to go fully Asian. Malta is more less in the same condition, even if there is some country side and rural life, but to drive away you can only go to Sicily via the ferry, like you can go to Malaysia from Singapore via the bridge. But yeah, this is a great place. Love the fact they put you in prison for graffiti, and fine sky high for spitting and sticking gum, why on Earth civilized person would do that?
