Vancouver listed as the Best City in the world to live in :D

Quote from christopher:

Hi all,

I live in Vancouver and absolutely love it. Iam originally from Ottawa. Vancouver is definately my home now. I've been all over the world and can honestly say this is a gem of a city.

I recently posted a thread a few days ago about getting into trading. I have zero background. However, I want to learn and get involved.
Any of you Vancouverites have any input about resources in the city? I 've done some research but perhaps I am missing something. Also, any comments about Bright ( Vancouver) ?

To trade Forex I would set up free demos with:

http://www.oanda.com/

and:

www.refcofx.com

With Oanda there is no trading software to download, great for when you are on a public computer such as at the downtown Vancouver Public Library.

With Refcofx you have to download the trading software, so you will need your own computer. If you use a laptop with wireless the downtown Vancouver Public Library has free access to a wireless network on the 4th floor.

Refcofx accepts Canadian live accounts, I do not know about Oanda.
 
well it depends, the weather in van is nothing compared to new york, or stuff you get in toronto. LOL thats why you want to live in victoria
Quote from Sam123:

These rankings always ignore weather. If Vancouver didn't rain you into depression, it's a great place to be. Just make sure you go South for the winter.
 
I would choose refco, Ive been using them for over 10 years, and there great people. Well the canadian division of refco. Never had any problems, except there alittle pricy for commod trades, but if you want access to pits, their the ownly canadian commodity brokers I would go to. If you want purely electronic stuff, and you dont want to trade all commodity products, and just the nymex stuff, I also use IB canada.

does it rain less in Victoria?
 
yup, its an even milder weather then vancouver, because of the special situation victoria is located in. Those you do get really rainy days, but victoria is the sunniest part of canada.

well the negative it doesnt have much of nite life, and a few good bars and clubs. I would say if your 22-30 live in vancouver, vancouver is pretty good if your single, but if you are like 32-40 about to settle down then its victoria. It only has one snowy day of the year, and its like a couple of centimeters, and by the afternoon it usually goes away. If your into snow, then your out of luck. It all depends where you are in life, if your about to settle down victoria, just starting vancouver. Its like new york if your young, jersey when yor are old, or seattle when your young, or bellevue when your old
Quote from ozzy:

Damn maybe I should move to victoria then? Any other positives to living in Victoria?

LOL. I like Rydal, PA; where i live.

I'm thinking of moving to the BC area. Five a.m. open would be a bother though.
