Jesus Christ coach, you aight?!
I was able to navigate around the restrictions via my 2nd home in the United States even though I competed in the prior challenge (with the same restrictions) from Québec, Canada...my home during the winter months because my kids are enrolled in school here during that time period.
I'm not sure why the listed countries are excluded (restricted) but here in Québec...the government puts a lot of restrictions on U.S. companies entering the Québec markets. I don't understand it completely but it is weird and petty in my opinion...language laws, tax issues and many other things designed to protect the French language / heritage from outsiders.
Yet, I call it petty because not all of the U.S. is restricted. For example, I get cable channels from Chicago here in Québec via a subscription. Yet, cable channels from Detroit is FREE.
Its a pain too when ordering stuff from the U.S., many businesses in the U.S. will not ship merchandise here to Québec because the extra duties that they must pay whereas the same merchandise shipped from France do not incur extra duties.
Electronics here are very expensive in comparison to the same products in the U.S. Maybe it all has something to do with NAFTA.

The majority of Canadian commercials have those disclaimers at the bottom, 'not valid for residents of Quebec'. On the surface, they always play it around language, but in reality every QC bureaucrat just wants a decent-sized piece of everything coming into the 'country of Quebec'. The amount of b.s. red tape in MTL and QC makes cities like Boston look tame in comparison, and that's saying something.
Quebec is a mafia province.
OK, so I haven't traded in my TOS IRA account but I'll post the balance again on Monday morning. The goal is to parallel the CME competition in my IRA and produce a production account (real money) return > the CME sim-shit.
And yeah, it will necessitate risking the entire $100K (of the $105K). I have to pay comms of course.

Definitely a European feel to the place. But lots of gangsters too.
Nobody fvcks with us.
You gotta stay at the Four Seasons. The Marcus restaurant is fantastic. I am there every July for a State Dept reunion.
