Quote from gnome:
Maybe someone should start a Geezer thread... like minimum age 50. (Anybody that old and trading has likely been at it a long time... can't imagine anyone foolish enough to start at that age.)
Well I dont qualify as geezer..... Still I think a lot of people trade after they cash out of their careers: I know a lot of people that have been canned in silicon valley and were given generous cash out offers, took the offer , and now trade fulltime - I'm not one of them however.
Quote from BudFoxx:
29,.. trading in SF
been trading for 10 yrs equities, 6 yrs options, 5 yrs... futures.
might move to India soon to take advantage of market growth..
I have actually been talking with someone about starting a fund and doing the same thing. I think that Asia is really the opportunity of a life time, and the best way to take advantage of it would be by being there.
Anyway, I just turned 30 and have been trading full time since 1998. I in Venice, Florida.

It is quite posible to trade the US markets from paradise... I do it every day, and I do it with a prop firm's funds... I tell you it doesnt get any better than that.Quote from bastiat8:
My understanding is that the Caribbean is quite well connected. So with some basic planning and preparation for possible contingencies, I don't see why day trading from "Paradise" should be all that risky as far as tech issues go...
Cable broadband as primary, DSL as a backup, a cell and a land-line phone to call the trading desk in case of an emergency...
One other possible problem: "electricity outagesâ so a backup power source is a wise idea, but most of you who are professional day-traders already have this in your home...
Once I setup my operations in the DR and begin trading I will post a complete description of my personal experience...
"The Americas Region Caribbean Optical - Ring System ('ARCOS') is an undersea fiber optic - cable system that was developed by New World Network Ltd. ('New World'). Together with a group of leading telecommunication companies, New World contracted for the construction of ARCOS to provide the most technically advanced communications network in the Caribbean region connecting U.S., Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Curaçao, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico with service already underway."
