Uruguay

If I opt to move to someplace like North Dakota, South Dakota or Alaska, I'm likely to spend much of the time between November and March visiting family in California, vacationing in places I've never been (such as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas), and revising places I've lived in the past (such as Puerto Rico and the United Arab Emirates), seeing as how online trading will enable me to continue generating income from any hotel/motel that has free Wi-Fi.

I like the way in Uruguay\the seasons are reversed.
In the south blackberries are ripe July 4th; in Uruguay+ Argentina, its January 4th......................................................................................:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution:
 
I'm likely to move out of California before I move to Uruguay (if ever). So, here is some information for me to consider...

According to NTD News, in 2020 Tennessee saw the highest net gain of U-Haul trucks entering a state in a calendar year. The three main factors they listed as being responsible for the attractiveness of the state were:
  1. Low cost of living (14% lower than the national average)
  2. No income tax on Social Security or retirement account income
  3. Real estate tax is low
Other supposed benefits of moving to southern states included:
  1. Open spaces
  2. Nightlife activities
  3. Fewer draconian lockdowns (unlike New York and California)
  4. New development/industries
(But unfortunately, as a result, the cost of housing is going up.)
 
The top ten states with the highest local taxes as cited by Bill O'Reilly:

California is not on this list because Proposition 13 did away with high property taxes back in 1978. However, California is able to stick it to its citizens anyway via the highest minimum statewide sales tax rate in the United States (6% or 7.25% depending on who's providing the information), which can total up to 10.50% with local sales taxes included (10.25% here in Los Angeles County) as well as with astronomically high gasoline taxes (79ȼ per gallon including the state's excise tax plus federal and other taxes, according to KTLA, though O'Reilly cited 85ȼ per gallon).

I understand the cost of living is extremely high in Hawaii as well, but I guess that's just because everything costs so much over there, maybe because everybody wants to live in that paradise-like setting, or perhaps its the added expense of shipping everything out to the middle of the ocean.

It is my understanding that the Martingale system of stock trading doesn't work due to a number of drawbacks, which include:
  1. There is no way one can predict the number of successive losing trades that will take place—which means the risk will keep increasing with each trade, but the possible reward will be limited to the position size of the first trade.
  2. There are costs involved with every trade (i.e., brokerage fees, taxes, etc.) including impact costs (i.e., you may not be able to get/sell all your shares at the best bid/offer rate).
  3. There are limits placed by exchanges on exposures of individual traders and brokers, so that a trader using the Martingale system is not allowed an infinite number of chances for doubling his or her trading lot.
However, the way I see it, using the Martingale system to trade Forex binary options is a different animal altogether—provided a trader has an edge—since the fallacy of believing past events will affect the outcome of future events will no longer be in play.

For example, Numerical Price Prediction's Irreducible Complexity Trading System makes use of a forecast model that conveys the ultimate direction in which rates are most likely headed. Consequently, if a rate does not reach a given level by a certain hour, the odds (or probability) that it will reach the designated price given more time rises dramatically. This means that eventual success no longer requires an infinite number of chances for doubling one's trading lot. Typically, one additional chance should be sufficient, or two at the most.

Of course, this all sounds great in theory, but will it actually work? To find out, I'm planning to spend some time seeing what would happen if I were to truly attempt to employ such a system, beginning with the following purchase...

(This is the system I plan on using should I ever move to Uruguay.)
