Fellas, Does anyone know how to change the date format on the crosshair in TWS?? I want to change the yellow "10/6" in the screenshot.

Correct. For 3Y visa it's +1M AED.

The DLD fees for processing, medical, visa issuance etc are approx. 15k AED. (3 year visa)

Like I mentioned earlier - if I can make it "clickable" (have a GUI) that would be the best. But if the code or script is somewhat easy to modify, that works too. While I agree with the saying in general, I don't quite understand what you are referring to. "Garbage in" as in paying little...

Thanks, but that seems to be more for TA? I guess I'm more looking for an "advanced" market scanner program.

If it's that simple to do, you would think there would be someone selling software with that functionality and a basic GUI? I understand access to the data is a separate issue, but still. I'll look into getting someone to do that as you suggested. Then I can learn Python at my own pace.

That sounds promising. Considering my (lack of) Python skills, "trivial" is what I need. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I wouldn't mind paying for an application if that made the task a bit more "clickable". Signed up for MultiCharts to see if that could do it, but didn't...

I'm trying to find historical performance based on certain [changeable] parameters. For example: If [VIX] is down [5]% over [3]days and [US10Y] is down [5]% over [3]days What is the performance of [AAPL] over the following [3]days (compared to [GOOG]) or What are the best performing stocks...

I went with property visa. Extremely efficient process and handling by Dubai Land Department (Cube). Everyone's situation is different, but for me this was the best option and ticks all the boxes.

Are you planning to keep your (Canadian?) bank and online broker for your trading? I would think you would have to declare to them where you are residing? I don't know anything about Canadian tax law, but if you still have "vital interests" there (including bank accounts) and cannot prove you...

Thanks for the input guys! I've worked in the ME for the last 15 years, so I'm well aware of the pros/cons. But I also can't think of many better places to use as a base for trading/investing when it comes to residence rules, taxes etc. The property route would be to ensure that I comply with...

Thanks robbo, I will check that out. The other option is to buy a property in Dubai and apply for the residence visa that way. But I'm not intending to live there full-time at the moment and I'm not too optimistic about the property prices going forward. The main advantage of going the...

JimTrade, Any update on getting a residence visa in Dubai? I'm in a similar situation. I'm currently employed in Dubai, but looking for options to be self-employed and keeping my visa by setting up my own company.
