Relocating as a trader

Hi, I have been thinking of relocating when I finish school. I wonder if any of you have any information about the process regarding relocating as a full time trader. I want to obtain a residency visa.

My nationality is Norwegian and I´m 26 years. It will make me very happy to hear about stories of traders who did the same and know a little about the process.

What countries should I consider? I have been looking into the following: Panama, Vietnam, Thailand and South Africa



Thank you

Panama, Vietnam, Thailand and South Africa
Very good, Ok, Not bad, Not good.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

Why would you want to move from the best time zone to be a fulltime trader ? (GMT or GMT+1)
Unless you are after warmer weather
It never gets easier, you just get better

New Zealand? We moved here in 2008 and we love it here. We moved here on a work visa though; I trade part-time. I'm up and ready to trade as the New York session is about to close. London session opens around dinner time. It's been profitable for me this way so far.

For immigration info, google New Zealand immigration.

I don't get something, please I want to know from those who moved; was it because you moved or what?

Sorry I forgot about this trade.

Main reason I want to relocate is the climate, i´d love a warm climate. Secondly I would not dislike a slower pace of life with more kindness.

I have evaluated the sessions, and I dont disagree GMT+1 is great to get both London and NY and that is the reason for considering SA which is just 1 hour ahead.
Meanwhile I want to relocate to enjoy a more desirable climate and people living at a slower pace I might just accept I have to adapt to less opportunities, the opportunities will arrive either way since the market is not going anywhere very soon.

Playing with the thought that I can go out, have a nice breakfast and enjoy a full day and come back in the evening settle down for London session is rather appealing to I will defiantly look into New Zealand
