A Strange But Serious Proposition for a Not Yet Profitable Trader

Quote from Maverick74:

He is talking about Europe, not the US.

He mentioned Bangkok and Mumbai and I immediately thought Pittsburgh might be just the ticket. :D But, yes, I see now he's mostly talking about Europe.
 
Quote from Swan Noir:

ONLY IN AMERICA!!

I think Pittsburgh is a fine town ... I have been there a few times and enjoyed it. Is it possible that you read from my post that I'm looking to cut my living expense? I will be carrying my apartment in NYC as we travel, living well wherever we end up, eating out a dozen or more meals a week.

Is it so hard to imagine that three months in Rome or Madrid is not about just money? I'm hoping to make it affordable so I can at least not deplete my capital but c'mon guys ... there is a big, fun world out there and some of it is outside the USA!!!

I admit I thought it was about living expenses. I assumed you had turned the corner in trading and realized how much of a bankroll you'd have if you weren't living in NYC.

I get it now, mostly - and I'm not at all disparaging about any remaining parts of your quest I don't get. :D

sounds pathetically boring to me. Too fuckin stupid to have fun so you're trying to buy it on a budget. The funniest thing would be to record what the "dinner guests" have to say once they are freed from the boredom.

I have funded the first two years of full time trading and learning out of pocket and was fortunate to end up almost break even. I was profitable for the first time in 2011 and things get a bit stronger every month.

he is such a crook..

sorry, I was watching Denver cleaning Pitssburg's clock. Like the man said, it wasn't just the stiff arm, it was the speed.

How much is that apartment worth now?

Don't tell anyone that I wasn't watching. They might revoke my residency permit.
 
Quote from Swan Noir:

An interesting city -- Mumbai, Bangkok, Madirid, Rome, Naples -- I love Naples!! -- Kiev or Prague with modest lodging and people who are interesting is MUCH more important to us than luxury.

I say forget about traders, and try:

http://www.servas.org/

The timeframe is much less than months, but do you really want to stay in Kiev for 3 months? Also, you are going to trade, so for sightseeing there will be much less time. You are trying to mix work and pleasure...

Also, if your host learns most of your tricks in 1-2 weeks, they might not want to put up with you for another 2 months. Something to consider...

Oh yes, what about timezones? Are you going to change your trading vehicles according to your location, or just put up with strange hours???
 
Quote from FreakofNature:

I guess the profits from trading are not enough for basic food and rent when travelling ?
