Trading from Gibraltar as a UK resident

Right - turns out there is no problem with trading a UK account from this country...apart from having to walk over the runway at Gibraltar Airport to actually get to the offices (and local amenities); I like that idea actually.

Never played 'chicken' with a Boeing 737, just cars in the UK when crossing the road.

This could take some adjusting

It's ODD walking across an landing strip, when you can see a plane coming in, bad time to fall over, but fine, they close it obviously when 1 is about to land.

Sounds IDEAL, it's like the UK there, Pizza Hut all the UK stuff, but cracking weather and monkeys up on the rock, nice!!

Not quite the UK though, at street level one hears more spanish than english, spanish seems to be favored by far over english by locals (it might depend on the scene though ?) plus there are a lot of spanish workers in Gib. But yes cool place and we were close to moving there.
It's quiet though, found downtown deserted by 7/8pm, and the marina not very busy on evenings, might get boring for singles (I suspect it is not too hard to import girlfriends from across the border if you are not too broke, but didn't get a chance to try...)
 
Lol, you make them sound like some sort of illegal commodity.

More like a legal commodity. Once upon a time I had a more exciting life involving among other fun stuff sugarbabies and there seemed to be a bunch of them hanging out in Marbella, which isn't surprising.
Even without going through sugarbabies, there is a significant wealth difference between the 2 sides of the border, which dating wise is usually a plus for the wealthier side.
Anyway I suspect Gibraltar dating scene is quite limited (yeah, well, if you are diving instructor like someone around here, it must get better. Sounds on par with ski instructors. Lucky buggers)

Haha, I was only looking at apartments in Marbella a few days ago too - i'll update you on the potential 'sugarbabies' status of Gibraltar in a few weeks - don't burst my bubble just yet ;)

In the late 80's you could buy a small pensione in Marbella for 40k or a used yacht with the marine berth for the same.
 
Bacon, you're probably a nice guy. You're wasting your time looking for backers. Nobody with any money to back you believes your story. There are literally zero impediments to your trading from Gib with this MT5 crap. None.
